Interested in hearing from those who have Vortech JT or Paxton 2200 supercharger with the
8-rib pulley kit installed, on what fan did you use. Even with moving the radiator brackets forward it still seems way to tight. Thanks

I have a JT with the 8 rib. I still used the factory fan and yes, its a tight fit but it can be done.

On mine even with the upper radiator mounts unbolted I can't get it in past the volute. Did you trim the stock fan in additional places besides what the Vortech instructions tell you to?

You could always use the low profile fan and shroud from procharger.

The Procharger Fan does not just drop in. I tried putting it in and found the Vortech inlet tube hits the upper portion of the shroud and fan controller/resistor gets in the way. On the Procharger Fan you would be cutting up a $450 fan, trying to avoid that.
Has anyone put a Procharger fan in with a 8-rib? Thanks for all replies.
