What do you guys think of Vortect S/Cs?
I was thinking of maybe getting one. I know you all will prolly bash them but give me reasons why please.

most on here dont like the centrifugal superchargers because of the fact that they dont produce much power until 3k+ and thats where we need our power to get these heavy pigs moving

But with the right gears, stall and cam might make some BIG top end power!

So what woould be good for a daily driver S/C?

I know this is from their website as well but it shows a power increase throughout the power band, it is larger at the top but and increase from low to high.

a radix is the best daily driver supercharger you can buy

it will cost a little more but you get what you pay for - it is a complete kit with everything you need but coolant for the intercooler

get the intercooled version

a daily driven supercharged vehicle needs an intercooler

yeah the vortech does not produce boost at lower rpm,s but it makes up for it at higher rpms, and they can push more boost than a radi blower. i have a vortech and im really happy with it. i wish i had a little more low end power but i have awd and a converter to help get those rpms up in my powerband quicker.plus the vortech dow not sit on your engine and is less prone to heat soak than a radix. but the part i dont like is that it is very quiet , They also have a t trim blower that im considering that is more efficietn produce more boost and sounds bad ***!!

Sure but not pulling a 5000lb truck either.

alright i know the difference between s/c and turbos but what performance differences would there be between the centrifugal and a turbo? both put their power on at 3k+, i know an advantage of turbo is being able to pretty much choose your boost but other than that?

Turbo is more efficient and is not parasetic like S/C.
