Did some reading here on Supercharging & turbo site of Grumpy's forum today.
Not much info posted about Vortech centrifical Superchargers & related kits.
Also researched Vortech Superchargers website.
The classic 1985-1991 L98 C4 Corvette & 1992 - 1996 C4 LT-1 Vortech V1 series S & T trim Super Charger kits are discontinued.

Can You find & post related articles Grumpy for the Vortech Supercharger installation(s) using a carburetor ?
SBC, BBC, Ford, Mopar, Pontiac, ect.
Competitors like Procharger also OK.
Seems to be alot of hyped up hyper BS on Prochargers website, like losing 3.5 seconds in 1/4 mile. 400 HP base Nova running 11's. Bolt on a F1R & now running 8's in 1/4 doing nothing else. LOL. TV endorsements too......... :lol:

Anyhow, I have a few friends using Vortech superchargers. They work. Bare min 100 Hp average increase in peak power with 5-7 psi boost. Pump gas 87-93 octane.
Vortech V-7 Ysi's powerfull superchargers & I am interested.
Thinking of purchasing a supercharger kit this year.

There are kits for Chevy SBC & BBC.
The older TPI Firebird & Camaro kits are gone for the 3rd & 4th generation cars. And no longer produced for the 1984 - 1996 C4 Corvettes.
I almost bought a C4 Vortech S or T trimn supercharger kit back in the summer of 2007.
I decided to pay off the loan on Vette 1st instead. Glad I did because the recession was just around the corner. Read early reports & said the heck with more HP & paid off the loan ASAP.
Recession & poor sales killed older Vortech applications produced it seems.
Vortech concentrating on C5 & C6 generation Corvettes & New Camaros. Along with Fox bodied Mustangs & new generation Mustang.

Vortech Superchargers took the Fox bodied generation of Mustangs from 15 second cars in 1/4 along with TRICKFLOW cylinder heads & toip end EFI packages,
innovation on racer's parts into 10 second, 9 second, & 8 seconds by 2004- 2005 race season in the midwest & nationwide on NHRA & IHRA drag tracks.
I seen it happen & was around the action.

So 12 years later, I want ONE. :D
Have a nice collection of vintage Pontiac GTO & Firebird Trans Am parts. A complete & mint condition 1965 GTO Tri power sold on ebay & a few other small items easily finance a Vortech V-7 YSi supercharger kit for a carburetor SBC 410 of mine.
Like carburetor better than EFI too myself.

Nobody researches like Grumpy in 1 article let alone 1 forum.
Wait & see what he comes up with.
I researched Yellow Bullet forum last night. Had some good reading there too.

I think he is using a Dana 60 Rear & 4-link suspension with Strange Engineering coil over shocks Grumpy ;)
The 5th generation independent rear exploded long ago.
This is exactly how I recall Vortech superchargers working on the street & track.
Notice how the Camaro driver is in town & launched it, goosed the loud gas pedal.......... :D
