RE: HELP: Used Paxton Novi 2200 v. New Vortech non-HO s-trim
If you can swing it I would go with the IC version if possible. I know of two people who went the non-IC Vortech route and both are looking to add the intercooler. Personally, I like the Novi 2200 and as someone else said before, can make insane power. However, it doesn't have to if you keep the boost lower.

3800 used for the 2200 isnt that great of a deal. You can probably score a new one for 4300ish. If you dont plan on upgrading later then get the vortech non HO or the Paxton 1200 non IC. They are both very close in performance. If you think you may want to go nuts later then get the 2200, but get a new one with a 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. Either way i would get the self lubricating unit for easy self install. I have the2200 and love it but the 1200 or the vortech would have been plenty of power for me. The 2200 iscrazy power.PM me if you have any questions.

That dyno number was at 6200rpm and 12psi. Seldom do I bring it to 6200 rpm. I try to keep it under 5700rpm. Yes I run that tune every day.

Novi 2200 coming through for you I see. That is a butt load of power for the street.

RE: HELP: Used Paxton Novi 2200 v. New Vortech non-HO s-trim
Okay, well for some odd reason Adam @ STMotorsports hasn't gotten back to me about the USED Novi 2200 HO system. I have called him like 5 times and have received absolutely no return calls whatsoever. I even offered him what he was asking, but I guess he is just too busy or is not motivated to sell right now.
So here is the new option: RHP goal = 400-450
Vortech V2 T-Trim with air/h20 charge cooler, 60# injectors, 8 rib pulley system, high pressure bypass valve - local friend will sell me the kit for $3,700.
I would still need to purchase:
HTO cold spark plugs, with 32 degree gapping - $130
3.8" s/c pulley to push 8-10psi for no more than 450rhp - $90
Dual fuel Pump - $150-ish
What do y'all think. Are the 60# injectors too much?
Lookin at $4,000 for a ready to install kit HO massive HP potential (way more than I need) supercharger set up.
Let me know what you think.

As I said I feel 60# injectors are too much but if they came with the used kit keep them and get them flow tested first (save the money for install or other parts mentioned). Oh - Adam is extremely busy and has very little time for himself much less for returning calls but dont give up as he is one of the BEST tuners installers in the nation IMO and many others and truly cares for the car he is working on....

I have read some of the 3.4L Whipple custom fab job threads on here and understand that STMotorsports is knee deep in grease and wrenches. I just feel like an idiot calling them 5 times and not hearing anything back, so I will just let it ride and keep on looking elsewhere.

hhhmmmm..... not sure about that. With the 1200, I was thinking more along the lines of 420ish whp intercooled/max, and 550 whp max with built motor and tranny.
