I think it's wrong for people to buy something based onone's word.
wtf,at least they are talking about something they have,and i would take thier word over yours any day of any week.:lock:
Than your just as prejudice as them. All I did was tell people what the vortech does and everyone jumps on my ***. Don't beleive what I say and don't believe what they say then. GO RESEARCH THIS STUFF AND FIND OUT THE TRUTH!!! I'm not lying. People just hate me. I guess driving a centri supercharger and researching them and x-charger's in and out over the past4 months means I know nothing about the x-charger or vortech's[:-]. I gotcha

LOL,i am not prejudice,but you make no reference to your "facts" which are strongly stated as fact.Start including some of that to back up what you are saying.Cmon,fess up,you really drive a prius..don't you?

How many times to X people reference their facts? Most of the X comments out there are along the lines of "It's better!"

And what did SteelStang say that was so vastly wrong?

And how can you not say that the X is hyped?! There are a TON of X groupies!!! In literally every thread about F/I people will bump in and talk about the X. Even if it is totally not relevant. For example, there was a thread a few weeks back with a guy asking about turbos and how to reach 400rwhp, and people were coming in and saying stuff like "go X!". Sometimes it feels like I am surrounded by hyped out frat boys....

As stated, x-people give no reference to their facts either. You are prejudice cause you didn't know how that I could know more about a centri/vortech than a vortech owner did you? You want me to back up what I'm saying... what do you want me to find for you? Dyno charts? Websites with prices? Drag Slips? What will it take to float your boat wise ***? I can find anything you need to back up my statements. [:'(]My guess is your car isn't even modded, I drive a modded 4.0 b/c I like a fast 6 and am getting a vortechsoon too make it even faster! Shut up because you have no case! You act like my statements are lies and clearly aren't if anyone took 5 min out of their life to research my facts they'd know, but everyone wants to be spoon fed.

You want backing up? Why dont you direct yourself to the collective's dyno section and drag stip section. Sure Ron has a fast car, but that doesnt mean they are ALL fast.

You ARE right. That is an perfect reason for me to spend 4.3k instead of 3.3k. How did I never see that...?

[Vortech Supercharger Kit with Aftercooler for 2005-2006 Ford Mustang with 4.0L V6 (V-2 SQ-Trim, satin)
SuperchargersOnline.com*: $4,149.00

Vortech Supercharger Kit for 2005-2006 Ford Mustang with 4.0L V6 (V-2 SQ-Trim, satin)
SuperchargersOnline.com*: $3,299.00

(Those are the full kits, tuner, injects, etc)

X-CHARGER 05-07 Mustang 4.0 SOHC HI-PO with tuner
Price: $4,295.95

X-CHARGER 05-07 Mustang 4.0 SOHC CA spec with tuner
Price: $3,995.95


The cheap Vortech make 260rwhp at 8psi on my auto. Only a JBA muffler. Also, a lot of people running the higher numbers with the X are spraying meth...that was done with no means of cooling at all.


I just realized, the Aftercooler Vortech is cheaper than the Xcharger!! LOL
I knew that from researching, that's why I pointed out the dyno #'s of h/o vortech's (310rwhp-330rwhp) and hi-po x's (270rwhp-290rwhp). Then thought to myself, hmmm. Why is the x-charger so popular when vortech's create more power per dollar and are almost a completely better all around performer? Internet influence! I did my research to find this out. People told me x's were the way to go but I did my research and found out everything I told you. I see you want track numbers so give me a couple mins to google and search.

Wow,so in the mustang world everything has to make dollar to hp sense.Never knew that.Ron is a great guy,pure and simple.A pioneer i would even say.Always willing to try out new stuff for us all to see what the results are at his expense and learn from it.You take his times as an exception and i take it as what is possible for anyone who is willing to take the effort and spend some money.

Now,as for track times,yes, post the(typical)vortech times here.I believe justin at vmp holds record and kudos to him for what he did to get there.Also shows what is possible at best known.

Chris,i really like what you are doing to make the ultimate vortech setup.It just seems this is a winner/loser argument and i don't like to see that.

Can't find Scrmin and Asixer'sslips, but they ran 12's withtheir vortech's, like I said if droptop6 posted in the 1/4 sectionhere isn't a convertible he's in mid 12's, and for some reason it's not letting me post 4.0 collective links for times. So to name acouple screaminyellin6 has done low 13's on street tires andhamidlmt has done low 13's on street tires. They get Drag Radials and there in mid 12's.Search 4.0 collective forumsfor this if you don't believe me. It's all there!

Yep.

Best times listed for those mentioned,oh and nav to be fair

Navbtscret 2006 Mustang Coupe X-S/C 282.0 1.780 8.270@80.51 13.038@103.95

screaminyellin 6 Mustang V6 Auto S/C 330.0 2.199 8.691@82.89 13.450@103.95


Scrmin 05 Mustang V6 Coupe S/C 313.0 1.866 8.475@89.46 12.845@107.12

droptop 05 V6 Vert S/C 320.0 1.953 8.506@88.33 13.109@105.00

hamidlmt 2005 4.0L Mustang S/C 317.4 2.099 8.612@83.26 13.383@102.84

Not hard to tell who is on drags:60ft. times.

asixer>unsure his times,but when he sold his vortech and had it serviced he found it(the main unit) was faulty.He could'nt break outta 14's prior.He has now ventured to higher grounds.Nav blew an engine trying the 2.6 pulley untuned for it(not related to his best time tho on 2.8 pulley).Droptop has been my favorite.Reaching new bound with a vert,but also had some costly breakage getting there.I also saw his custom vortech to shaker intake setup and believe it is a plus.Hamidlt has been very consistant,and once again is a track junky,lol.I admire all these guys *ps-sorry copy paste is hell on xp64,lol-
