Just got the approval from my wife come tax return to order my supercharger for my '05 GT that is my daily driver. I'm wanting to keep my budget under $5k and looking @ the Vortec kit from Brenspeed. Anyone got any other suggestions?

Thanks

My Vortech has been on my daily driver for about three weeks or so. I love it. I like being able to drive all day long, if I want, and stay out of boost, but know it's there if I need it.....

Budget wise, the Brenspeed kit cannot be beat, I think...Remember to budget in your install and a good dyno tune afterward.....

Good Luck,
Mike

I appreciate the input. I'm definitely going to take my time and research. Right now the basic Vortech kit from Brenspeed has my attention. I like the numbers it puts out on top of the price overall. Also it will leave me with plenty of play to get a good tune from someone. Anyone know any shops in GA/AL. I live in Columbus, GA which is 2 hrs from Montgomery and 1.5 hours from Atlanta!

Thanks

I'm happy with the Vortech kit overall, the car has plenty of power. I'll be doing some 3.73 gears when I can manage to take a day off and handle it in the next couple of months, which should wake it up even more.

I've had the Saleen S/C on my DD since December and it works just fine (even in the snow!).

I have a Whipple HO on my DD and I have about 14k miles SC'd with 0 issues. Had a clutch problem but it wasnt SC related.

For under $5k the Vortech or non int Paxton are your only real choices. Dont forget you will also probably want gauges so add in a pod plus gauges into your price.

You will probably want at least upgraded LCA's too , in order to curb wheel hop.

If you really like a centri I say go with the vortech and you should be good. If a positive displacement is more your style just save the $5k for a little longer till you get $7k and look at Whipple's, KB, Saleen, Edlebrock etc.

In the long run make sure you get what you like so you dont have to buy again.

Also a dyno tune is worth while. Trust me no matter what your budget is you will end up going over. Just the nature of the beast.
