[QUOTE="kevinp, post: 11470610, member: 106826"] Any time you add 100+ horsepower you are taking a risk, most of the time people hurt stuff because they get greedy. That 'one more pulley swap' or 'one more size up on the ntrous jet' or 'just turn up that boost controller' has cost many a stock engine over the years. If you are disciplined enough to keep the power level sane and dont try for that last tenth at the dragstrip or 10hp on the dyno I wouldnt be afraid. Roush sells and warranties a car with their blower on it, yes its fairly mild tune but that has to tell you someone has some confidence in the stock engine. FRPP also has a warranty, so does edelbrock. I put my wife and two kids in the car and drove 1200 miles to Chicago and back and never gave it a second thought, turbosixx here drove the same distance to Bowling Green and raced his car, then drove it back. But there is no absolute guarantee that it wont blow up the first time you floor it, unless you buy a kit with a warranty. I have three other cars so if mine lets go I'm not walking. I dont think you did wrong talking to Bob first, you are going to get a lot of opinions on power adders, of course no one has jumped in yet with nitrous or turbos :) Its a lot of money to spend on a new car, you can buy a pretty nice beater for what a blower costs for one of these. If you arent doing the work yourself you need to be able to trust the guy thats doing it 100%, if Bob thinks your needs would be best suited with a Vortech then listen to the guy that will be working on your car.
