Yeah I believe its 25 as well. I had just looked it up for someone a month or so ago. I still have zero intention of supercharging mine now. I'll just roll with the CAI/tune, its fine how it is.

It's not that bad to take it off for winter and on for the summer.. The nice increase in power is always an eye opener lol

I might actually end up with the Saleen though quite honestly, or maybe an M9 once I have some fun with the Vortech. It's simply ridiculous how the Vortech is supposed to come apart at a measly 25 degrees! WTF?!





.. not even a torque converter and light weight one piece driveshaft?? It'll make it seem like it gained 30-35whp :d

Yeah 25 degrees just seems like poor planning to me.

Not interested in dumping money into this car. I enjoy it as-is, and I'd rather keep it easy to return to stock. I'll drive it around for another year or two, then get something else to play with. Not sure what that would be yet. That 350hp Focus RS hatch they are threatening to bring to the US looks fun. Too bad it'll be FWD and not AWD though...

and I thought it was -25.. shame on them Vortech for not even reconizing that I was from AK. I could have used a warning lulz

It's all good. When I am forged next summer with about 150 more whp, it's not gonna matter and I will be glad I have a centri with an option to take it off..

That RS Focus would be killer, nothing wrong with FWD.. it's fun reeling them in in 3rd gear and passing them at 80 rofl
