vortechs are better than procharger because theres nothing wrong with tapping the pan. Its easy and doesnt hurt anything. If done right it wont leak, and if you ever remove the blower you just plug it up. Plus your getting fresh filtered oil to the blower all the time. Runs cooler and better.I never worry about changing the oil in the blower because I do that when I change the engine oil!

RE: saleen s/c or vortech
I recently had a Saleen Series IV installed on my 04' GT. It is intercooled,and I had installed the Chicane 66mm pulley(thank god) Along with a host of other upgrades that were recommended. On the Mustang Dyno it pulled a whopping 294RWHP(or 330 on the dynojet) I was so dissapointed,I wanted to jump off a building.After spending almost $6k on the total project.Max boost= 8.4psi(no belt slippage) what a joke.After reading alot of comments on these boards.It appears that I have the worst output around(sarcasim intended).I've seen numerous guy's on here claim almost the same output as me with bolt ons(right) and an awful lot claiming high 300's to low 400's with centrifical blowers.Which I do not beleive.Anyway,I chose the Saleen because it looks factory once installed.And is very neat.As you can see in my pictures. I would recommend almost anything other than the Saleen. Kenne Bell is the best out there.That's my opinion.Too bad I didn't see that before wasting my money on the Saleen. Next one will be the Kenne Bell,or a Hellion turbo.

nope. i mean it wouldnt hurt it of course. but my current setup is a non-intercooled Vortech V2-SQ generating 356 rwhp and 373 rwtq, and i live in Florida.
