RE: supercarger
here my reasoning.....
around town the car make plenty of power.... nice easy cruising... very comfortable..... if I'm running the car... well I'm shifting at 6Kish and staying above 3500-4000 RPM anyway in the heart of the powerband.....so it's making tons of boost and power..... also IMO it make the hook @ launch a bit better in street trim..... the vast majority of us dont drive ***** out all the time...and/or in full drag trim (if ever in drag trim).... to me it made more sense....
best to anyone who mods w/ S/C

I am also happy with the decision I made to get a Vortech S/C...for me, it was the most practical.
Good luck with your decision...

RE: supercarger
I haven't noticed any lack of power or torque on the lowend.... power comes in like a BEAST starting 3000 RPM.......making 290 ft-lbs at 2900 ..... and when you shift around 6K and rpm drops to mid 4200 or so... makes 350 lbs... and she revs so more freely.... to me its the best of both worlds...
S/C's they are all great!!!

Vortech:
1) Cheaper.
2) Quiter.
3) Durability & High quality.
4) Simpler & Easier to install.
5) Less stress on engine (less torque down low).
KB:
1) More power.
2) Big block torque.
3) Instant throttle response.
4) Whining sound (some poeple like it)
