Keep rubbing it in... Haha

I've gotten in contact with a mustang performance shop in my area. There making me some NICE packages. Better then anything I've seen online. Its going to be hard to hold out for now.

First bike was an R6 then sold it for a GSXR 1000. Got a little too crazy on it and one of my boys had a pretty bad accident on his bike so I decided to sell it. I still ride dirt though

Yeah I really want a Gixxer600 or R6 and before anyone trys to tell me they are dangerous blah blah- I know, but my love for sport bikes is almost comparable to my love for cars.

Regardless, its going to be at Least 2 years before I am stable enough to afford a bike and a car.

Adam- Do you remember how much boost Tom made to get the 460rwhp number? How efficient are the Strims good for?

I know the s-trim will support up to 680hp. I will ask Tom how much boost he is running.

It took 10.08 lbs of boost to make 451whp in my car. This was on a 102 degree day with a non functioning intercooler.

Only reason I ask is because a lot of local shops I know do lots of work with Vortech, and while Paxton owns Vortech I am not sure what types of deals they have got running.

Either blower will be great, unless you plan on running 700+hp then I would say go with the paxton

Yeah, thats why I'm leaning now towards Procharger where the local shop(Modular Madness) has TONS of experience working on and they do warranty work in shop. They also recently added Vortech to the line up. I know one things for sure. I'm pretty sure I want to stick with air to air as far as intercooler goes.

One things for sure I do like how the vortech looks over the procharger. But its about power in the end and reliability over a beauty contest.

Both the Vortech and Procharger will make enough power to blow the OEM short block if you turn up the boost enough.
