Default Vortech?


Saw this bit of news when I was browsing around for supercharger information:

http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/...8&section=News

I've read some mixed reviews on some of the smaller supercharger companies - was doing some research.

Vortech always seemed like a respected name in the supercharging industry - anyone have some direct experience with them?

This is actually the interesting section of what you found:

50-state emissions certification is planned. Currently, these systems are legal for vehicles that may never be used on public highways, off road use only.

Let's see: How many folks who paid at least $41,000 for a car would actually want something that makes it ILLEGAL for most uses????

I read that too... It doesn't bother me because I'll be getting a 2009 anyways - and I bet it's a high priority to get it certified ASAP.
Your point is valid -- and I bet they know it. Who is planning on making there newer Dodge illegal for road use? Not many.

I'm more interested in who has used Vortech here for other applications and what their experiences were... Let's assume they get the legal issue dealt with soon after this becomes a released product.

I would say that vortech is the the most commonly used supercharger brand. As far as mustangs go they are very commonly used and very good kits.

I spoke with a Vortech rep yesterday, and he said he expects a bolt on for the Chally in about 6 weeks or so...

Plenty of folks drive around in "illegally modified" cars. Anything from cat. delete to funky headlights. It all depends on how rigorous an inspection it has to pass.
