Okay I am finally thinking of installing a turbo, is the s trim vortech any good? How much rwh can I expect to see, and what 1/4 mile times?

yea vortech makes superchargers. i dont know as much bout boosted applications as some of the others so ill leave your questions to some one else but i just thought id clarify that.

punisher91279

nope, not me, where is that one? I did ask which is better a turbo or 347, I decided a turbo, just wanted some info though.

An s-trim is a type of Vortech centrifugal supercharger.

If you want info on turbos, go to turbomustangs.com

Turbos use exhaust gasesto spin and create a lot of heat under the hood.All Vortechs (superchargers) use thebeltoff thefront of the engine to spin. Both work off RPM. The S-Trim is a good unit and usuallycan see 60-75% gain in horsepower ifthe motor is tuned to the blower.Just be carefull with boost levels with stock internals.

Thnks guys, apperciate the good info, Is the s trim a turbo or a roots style supercharger?

Depends on how long you want to wait and if you need to pass emissionsbasically. Either of the 2 will cost about the same, but fora turbo kit you are going to have to wait like 6-8 weeks for it. Both are really cool, I wouldn't be disappointed if I had either. I had a VortechS-trim, but sold it to my brother so he could use on his car,but afterhaving fitmentissues with it and saw that I don't have to pass DEQ anymore I decided that I wanted a turbo instead. My fitment issues were my own fault, my radiator and electric fan were too thick and I didn't have the clearance to put the crank pulley on.

the s trim is a cintrifugal style supercharger.

I had my car dyno tuned and it was putting 269 rwh to the rear wheels, what will that s trim do for me, is it worth the money?
