Ok, I've been holding this back for a week now but I got the green light to announce, so.......

Brenspeed is developing a blower package from Vortech, and I get the lucky priviledge of having my car used for the development! The install will be in about 2 weeks and after that..... I'll be pushing some boost!!

At this time to help with the development, the initial install will be an S-trim non-intercooled system pushing about 8psi; the estimated numbers are 410-420 rwhp safely without the 'cooler. I plan to run this for most of the summer anyway, to see how it performs. This is a kit that Brenspeed is putting together and developing for a price that most budgets can live with, considering the costs of most supercharger packages. It should be a great alternative for those of you that don't want to spend $4000+ for a blower system, and still want something upgradeable later on!!

Second stage is mating a Paxton air-to-air cooler to the Vortech headunit. This will allow me to use the lighter 'cooler and get more aggressive with boost and tuning; should be around 450-470 rwhp after the upgrade I would think. Of course you also can add the Vortech 'cooler later, but I prefer the Paxton for it's looks and simplicity.

Please contact Brenspeed for additional information regarding pricing, availability, specs, etc.


YEE HAW! I'm getting blown!!!

 

Okay I jealous. Real Jealous. Did I say REAL JEALOUS!!!!!!!

Don't worry Scott..... when we meet this summer, I'll let you drive it!









Of course, then you'll be hooked

 

Can I drive it like I stole it??? P.S. I just told my wife that my bud in Indiana is going to get blown and all she said was " Been there and done that ... NO!

 

I hear ya!.. It goes back to the old saying! (its not who you know! its how you Vortech who you know)...........

 

I'm very interested on they adapt it to the Shaker. Not so much for function, but more cosmetically.

 

Haha there is NO OTHER WAY TO DRIVE IT!

I'm leaving it with Brent & Dave at Brenspeed for about two weeks after the install is complete; if it's not trashed when I pick it up, then likely it will survive all the torture I can give it!

 

Here's what they've done with their Paxton kits........ (pics taken from the website)

 

That will be nice, Tom. Congrats.

 

Good luck Tom! I know you have been itch'in to get a blower for awhile now. I'm anxious to hear how it all turns out. What are their thoughts on the 4:10 gears? I usually hear that folks need lower gears like 3:73?

 

Me like!

Bank account, not too happy.

 

Well, I'll find out. I actually think that 4.10s with the manual trans will be a nice compliment to the centri blower. The boost comes on around 3000rpm, and right now with my mods and 4.10s, it doesn't take me long to get to that range so I'm hoping that it will ROCKET once I get in the boost.
Me too...... on both counts LOL!

 

You lucky dawg!!! Man I need to get some more power now. Tell Brent that I am working on selling a turbo system for him to a friend of mine. Ideally this is what I want too.

Congrats

 

Thanks man, I'll let him know! I wanted one of their Hellion turbo kits, but I couldn't resist the offer they made me since they're using the car for development and I like the idea of upgrading easily to the 'cooler once I save up some more cash.

 

You got that right Scott, congrat's Tom. Can't wait to see how you like it

 

TOM!!!

NICE dude!!!

aww man I know how stoked you gotta be - congrats!!

 

Congrats man! It's been a long time coming!

You're going to love that new-found power!

 

Thanks you guys! I owe alot to all of you for your inspiration (peer pressure? lol! ) and knowledge. I'm so excited about this that the next couple of weeks are going to go by
