Although I will say I do enjoy my Vortech, going to have it retuned(again) in two weeks with a new smaller pulley. Love how the power takes over and listening to the blow-off vavle inbetween shifts.
I don't know why others are saying there not getting any boost until 4500RPM, I see boost at under 3500 RPM. If I were to do it again, I'd go Turbo.

Twin screws, on the other hand, make big boost at much lower rpm's.

Funny guy, aren't you. Seems like everyone thinks you have to get the biggest, baddest blower on the market and put down 450+ rwhp. However, there are other options out there in the supercharger world. Less money and less horsepower - like the standard Vortech system I bought - but, still a big upgrade from stock. I picked up about 140 flywheel hp (111 rwhp) with this blower. To me, that was a nice upgrade for the $3700 I paid for the complete system. Getting to 450 rwhp costs much more, so the OP's inclusion of a standard Vortech blower makes sense. Not everyone can spend $5K, $6K, $7K, etc. for a blower.

It's a matter of looking around and not jumping at the first deal that crosses your path

I did a lot of looking around - months of research - before buying my supercharger. Gots lots of great advice right here at TMS. I feel I bought the right supercharger for my goals, budget, and other mods already on the car.
If my budget was bigger and I could do it all over again, I would have done a twin screw style blower. However, I feel the the centrifugal blowers offer a lot of bang for the buck.

People who think they want all that power are often disappointed later when the car is just no longer really streetable. If all they want is a dyno queen, then by all means go for it. Personally, I'm going to be happy with a bonafide 10-sec daily driver, and I can do that with just over 550 rwhp. I'll wait until it's retired to track duty only to shoot for 9s.
Yea... driving the car makes my sticker peck up.

Brian, I think you missed my ...
...700hp is worthless on a 2005+ GT without forged internals and a chassis to hook up all that power. While more hp is generally a good thing, there is only so much that can be used on the street. And, at $5,899 for the TVS2300 + this cost of a proper shortblock to withstand that kind of power + the cost of installation you are easily looking at $12K to $15K to have 700hp. Everyone may want 700hp, but not everyone can afford it.

Glad your back Don...We need more straight shooters around here.
You know there is a whole new generation of stang owners the last couple of years that hasn't blown anything up yet to learn where the line is drawn in the sand with these cars/engines yet. I am sure it will take a wack in the wallet to prove the point. Been there and done that.

I might have takin it the wrong way but I seems like you are saying it takes a combination of parts to make a car with a centri fast...I'm guessing you were just refering to off the line fast. If thats the case, I appoligize...

I try..I try.. LOL... I know what you mean, I got my polished paxton 2200 used in good condition ( it had about 3k miles on it I believe) for $2,700. GT500 pumps and new injectors put me at $3,400 for a complete system. I think I might have gotten the system for 2.5k...IDK..somewhere around there..

It's like when you shop for camshafts and the higher rev cams recommend steeper gears and a stall converter because without those extra parts, the cams would make the car fall on it's face in the low rpm's.
Same applies to a centrifugal blower, which typically doesn't make "good" power until higher rpm's. Having more gear and a stall converter helps get my car into the centri's sweet spot and stay there.
I've seen plenty of guys over the years mismatch components and end up with a slower car than when they started. For example, huge carburetor with a single plane manifold for high rpm's, but then they add an RV grind cam that runs out of steam at 5,000 rpm's before the carb & intake can do any good. Each of these parts individually would have benefitted the car by itself, but in combination would actually hurt the overall performance. As I said before, it's all about matching components that work in harmony.
