vortech

Thinking of doing a vortech setup on my 5.0 any suggestions.:shrug:

What year is your car? I just ordered the Paxton kit which is pretty much the same except for the headunit (the Paxton 2200SL pushes more air than the Vortech). Send Beefcake a PM asking him for pricing. I was extremely surprised.

2011 5.0...will do. im still want the car to be reliable also

You're in new Orleans? There r like two vortech stangs there and I know like 3 in Baton Rouge. U Oughta check them out. Car meet Saturday night at ranger outlet in Gonzales u Oughta come through.

Anything beyond stock isn't going to be reliable because you will void the warranty with the exception of very minor modifications.

extremely generic statement, you can order a Si-trim, T-Trim, Ysi, etc from vortech, you dont have to get the standard kit. To me they seem to make similar hp and a bigger blower doesnt always mean better when you are only going turn it for 10psi or less. I dont see why you couldnt make 600 on a si trim and have a faster 'spool' time than the paxton kit. I will be on the dyno next friday and will be making a thread if you would like to see (mods in signature)

But yes essentially they are the same kit with different head units. Now one difference to note, the paxton is Self Lubricated (SL) where as vortech has V3 self contained vs v1/v2 oil fed.

We've all been there. Some of us have gotten over it. The further my eyeballs are pressed back, the happier I am!

this ^^^ . Car runs so much better with just a tune even, warranty is overrated. I always feel like its going to be a MAJOR hassle to have anything covered anyways.

Comparing base kits...

Both the 2200SL and the V3 have self contained oiling systems...

Just pointing out the obvious, he asked what was reliable

Agreed
