Thanks Tom for your input.
I somehow knew that the non-I/C version is stable, or else why sell it (especially by Brenspeed)?

At this point, I have a difficult time justifying ~$1800 for 30 more hp's (that be $60 per hp! ).

So if I hear you correctly, if not for the mod bug, the non-I/C Vortech would still be on your car, right?





Good hp numbers, but at a premium price.
When the smoke clears (taxes, unit, install, gauges, etc.) I'm betting you're in for ~$8+G's.



Hey Luis.. time to ante up and start getting some mods already. At least tint the windows, geez!



Time to put your order in with Kevin too.

TacoBill

The Vortech/Paxton kit is sold.....



Going in this week is (get ready Bill ):
-Saleen VI blower
Hoping for 450 rwhp / 450 rwtq, but we'll see.

WE all hate you Tom.

Seriously, hope all goes well with the install. I'm sure Brenspeed will do everything within their power to make it right.

tom281

Yes, the non-cooled Vortech kit was a fine system for me..... Although I am looking forward to feeling the difference between it and the new setup though.

USMC0341

You first
Cool Brian, Pizza and beer

Very Cool Tom Cant wait to see the results!!!


For that price I'll be doing the install I might have to wait till next year. We'll see how bad I get MOD fever

Superfly SN95

Funny that you say that... I'm debating right now if the weather is right? I want to go today. Also have my blackout panel on order and I'm debating on the sidemarker. Opinions?

Tom281...is the shaker up for grabs? might be tempted Congrats on the new set up...surprised you could hold this in for so long

tom281

The shaker is going on trade.... thanks though. As far as keeping it in, I've known for a couple of weeks but I've mostly been trying to give my buddies in the Midwest forum a hard time by not telling them.

TacoBill

I can already see the look on J's face when you have the engine tore apart with all sorts of parts laying on the floor mixed in with spilled coolant.



Don't forget the moleskin before you tint.

Clear turn signals and markers look good on PW.

TacoBill

If Leo goes TS, he'll be selling the Shaker.

(Guess same goes for me.. until the check is cut, any system is possible. )

Superfly SN95

Guess I'll just wait around like a vulture...unless I get too imaptient

I thought the 08's had a moleskin-type insert?

Hey guys- what hood do you like the best for my car? Here's how it looks now...... I want a hood that will follow the theme:



Here are the hoods that I'm considering:

'67:

Ram air:
https://cervinis.com/large.aspx?img=1171(820x549).jpg

C-series:
https://cervinis.com/large.aspx?img=..._(820x547).jpg

I'm leaning towards the '67 but I don't think the scoops are wide enough to get my 10" stripes with 1/4" pinstripes on it... and I don't want to restripe the entire car.....

Thoughts?

Superfly SN95

I vote 67 and in second the c-series. Not a fan of the ram air. Too bulky

TacoBill

Both look okay, but I was talking about completely clears (like Tom1's PW vert).

Then again, get either and be different!



The 67 looks good.

I was tossing this idea around too if I decide to go TS and I entertained both the Steeda cowl and Truefiber.

Striping shouldn't be a huge concern if you have them painted on the hood to match the front bumper and roof.

StangMahn

With your stripes, probably the ram air. Out of those, I'd go with the C Series.

You know, this time of year most people catch the flu, you guys all caught the mod bug.

LEO_06GT

I vote for the 67.

The eleanor one is fugly IMO.

The other ones scoops are way to big.

tom281

I like the '67, but actually I think my favorite is the C-series. Eitherway it will be a while before I order.... keep the opinions coming.

Would either look horrible? I wouldn't want you guys parking far from me when we hang out

I want an oem look... at this rate I might stay oem? lol

TacoBill

I'd go for the clear corners w/stealth bulbs

before



after



clear corners



stealth bulbs (they light amber)

USMC0341

I'm not going to even bring it up! Boy that price on that unit sure sobered me up

Tom, I also vote for 67, the other ones seem to over the top


The ones that TacoBill posted look nice, especially on white! DO IT

JonCo

Wow... I have nothing else to say

As far as the hood. I like the '67 ram air OR I think the Trufiber GTS-2(or the new GTS-3) hood would also look good. Below is a picture of my GTS2 hood. Functional ram air and rear extractors. Love the fit and finish.

Tomorrow I hope to order my Vortech HO unit I got the green light. Finances worked out MUCH better then I had planned originally. I got a killer credit card offer that I couldn't pass up. So its in the pocket now. I wont be able to do gauges right away I dont think. Hes said he would install all the gauges for one install price. I dunno, we'll see. But the overall vote here was to take Vortech over the Procharger correct? Again I'm doing it more for show then 700rwhp. If I can get 450rwhp I'm a happy camper. I know the looks of the Vortech are hands down better IMO.

I'd love to get it done before the months end. Going to a car show the 1st of March!


EDIT: I have the heat extractors blocked for rain purposes. Living in Florida its sunny one minute and pouring the next. The block are held on with 6 screws. Easy off and on.

Looking Good Jon!!
