Vortech SQ Trim

[DropTopPony]

Also have you checked out Tad's Rotrex kits on here? I see that he is expecting the kits to be @ $3300 but im not sure if thats for a 100% complete kit. May be for everything but the tune.

The rotrex kit is minus fuel and a tune. Or it was last time I asked him

wow does the rotex compair to a vortec kit??? just wondering if anyone knows b/c i've been seeing ... will dyno soon but that was like forever and a day ago ya know.

Tad said Jeff's car will be getting dyno'd soon. The other car was 5.0 Sn95 and he has not had a chance to get to a dyno yet. If you go to Rotrex website you can see what kind of power folks are making. Also do a google search for Rotrex cars and you will see several Vette's, Camaro's and TA's running he same Rotrex system Tad i putting on Jeffs car and they are putting out VERY nice numbers.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

By the compressor map on the head unit, the Rotrex compares to the Kenne Bell more than the Vortech

 

[voidfinger]

so more low end but not as much top end?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Yeah it should get into boost right off idle and stay there. Wouldn't be very efficient at higher numbers or RPM's, but a great looking street blower.

 

[DropTopPony]

It supposed to be the best of both worlds, boost down low with plenty up top....kinda like a big/little twin turbo seup but we will see soon enough.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

At stock boost levels (going off the compressor map I found for it) it will carry the boost through the RPM range no problem. I just mean it won't be able to push 20 psi or anything.

So would you suggest a Rotrex over a Vortech V2 SQ S-Trim?

 

[Jrgunn5150]

You'll be happy with the kit you settled on, Tad doesn't offer a complete all in one box solution for you

 

[Brian95SVT]

Haha either way I'm going with my Velocity kit haha
I work at a bank in their IT/IS department and I'm going downstairs to talk to the bankers about a personal loan tomorrow so I will find out

 

[voidfinger]

the rotec sounds sweet but who knows... i've heard a lot of hype and haven't seen any #'s... they are all sitting waiting to be tuned... maybe in a year or so lol.

Another option, though slightly more expensive, would be to go with a Kenne Bell kit. They have NPI kits and have the chip calibration to work with the return style fuel system, NPI heads. You're getting everything you need and the tune is good enough to run on until you want to dyno it, it's really what I'd call a little soft (on the rich side) which is a good thing. It also makes a good chunk more torque down low than a Vortech does, which really I'd aim for with an NPI car regardless because above 4500rpm these cars are wheezers. If I remember right they also have the flexibility to do a PI head swap, I'm pretty sure the lower manifold is similar. if you go forged in the future PI heads and blower cams you can turn the wick up and get around 450rwhp or so out of the 2.1L, with a lot of torque throughout the RPM range.

 

[Jrgunn5150]

Kenne Bell discontinued that kit.

 

[Shocker98GT]

Kenne Bell discontinued that kit.

Did they? I didn't know that. Didn't figure they would considering the minor difference between that and the 99-04 kit, but I guess they didn't sell many of them...

 

[Brian95SVT]

I'm going with a Modular Powerhouse Mongoose Kit
But it's going to be WAY down the road so

smart move :thumb:

 

[Brian95SVT]

hahhah figured you'd say that blown ahahha
I'm happy with the choice!
