I would recommend a Vortech over procharger any day of the week. I've seen so many prochargers crap out first hand it's unreal.

I originally built my car based off of John Grigg's setup. He runs a Vortech with a High Compression engine. Keep the boost below 10psi at peak RPM and you'll be fine. Get a good A/A too.

I would suggest NOT getting a TS, they produce way to much heat to be a road coarse power adder. The guy said instant tq is what you want.. That's absolutely not the case lol. You want linear tq not a table top tq curve. That's what will cause you to spin. You hit the apex then start to get into the throttle and you have 500rwtq and the car is going to want to rotate.

This is why A LOT of people run N/A, heat from a Power adder, and the fact that it's controllable power.

Thanks for the info. I didn't realize that.
I'm probably gonna wanna be able to push 20 plus psi on e85 for when I'm prowling the streets.
Lower boost for when I do take it to the course.
