[QUOTE="Lee, post: 2823325, member: 1160"] If I'd installed it myself I would have gone the KB route. I had a local performance shop do the work and they liked Vortech. There's a lot of pro's and con's for each type of SC. With the KB you're nearly always on the boost and with the Vortech you're not, with the associated heat and gas mileage issues. The KB produces more torque while the Vortech produces more HP. The KB is probably the better street blower and probably easier to install. I've not driven a KB car, but I've really enjoyed my Vortech. I understand that the KB comes on strong at 2000 rpm, whereas my Vortech hits hard at 3000 rpm. I can shift below 3000 rpm and never get into the boost, or I can let it rev and feel the rush. The 5.0 is a torqey motor that lacks top end power, and the 4.6 has top power with not much torque. There is an argument that can be made that the Vortech is better for the 5.0, boosting it's lack of HP at upper rpms, and the KB is better for the 4.6, boosting it's lack of torque down low. [/QUOTE]
