Go take a look at the "Just got the D1sc dynoed" thread in the dyno forum. That could help you decide which blower to get.

For me the Vortech solved a lot of things, easy install, wasn't rear mounted, so water is not an issue on my 4wd, some say that pulling my 22' Fishing boat is easier with the Vortech than the turbo. I also didn't have to toss the dual exhaust I already had, even though afterwards I did to install the Pacesetters.... I am making 400+ ft lbs by 3000 rpms and I have a 2600 stall.... and yes it pulls hard up top, and wants more... and it is on a 6000 lb. truck......

BTW...if I had it to do over... Twin Turbo........

Complete right down to the injectors, spare belt for aftermarket alternator, and baseline tune in the supercrap tuner.... I should have went whole hog for the aftercooler though.....

Everthing fit perfectly, even the Vortech air plenum that attached to the Volant CAI....

Yeah I agree with the money part... I am working through the body kit, drop, and paint right now... we are too far along to be backing up...

R U HI ??? A polished radix is like a sloppy two handed hummer. It just doesn't get any better.
