Beefcake Vortech/Paxton
I am about to order one of these and just cant make up my mind which on. Its either the beefcake special vortech or paxton. Help me decide before I pull my hair out!:feedback:

End goal?
Plan on putting a motor in the car? If you are cool with 600 wheel and no plans of cranking it up I would go Vortech, the pitch helps you a little down low. If you are cool with 600 and understand one day a bottom end will go in then go Paxton, as it cane out flow. If you have no plans of making 600+ or putting a motor in the car and do mostly street driving a TVS may be an even better option. |

I thought the Paxton Novi 2200 and Vortech V3 Si-trim were the same head unit (same company, different "brands"). I had a Vortech V2 S-trim in my '07 GT and it was simply a Paxton Novi 1200. Did the two brands differentiate their head units somehow?

Paxton can make a bit more HP in the end than the Vortech. OP, I shot you a pm. We match Beef's "special" pricing:) Everyone pretty much has to sell that kit at the same price. We also have our own tuner so we can be your one stop shop!

I already have the tuner. I just can't decide if I will be getting into the motor in the future.

^ Al, why is that? You know, you're not the first person that's said that. I was just curious as to why.
OP, why no TVS? I wanted roots all the way. I didn't want the "snail"... |

The twin screw blowers are great but some applications the snail blowers are a better option. Way too much low end torque is hard to control. If I were to buy a newer GT, it would probably have a big Vortec blower in it. |

Paxton really puts out some air. The blower unit just doesn't have the track record of lasting that long and they like to blow up motors. Vortec units last a very long time and still produce very well. Procharger just doesn't produce. The inter cooler is a big sale tactic for procharger but they just don't get the job done.

The Vortech is a great unit(I think I may go Vortech) but the wheel gives up some high power numbers, but does a little better down low. |
Do you guys think the Boss intake is worth the money on stock motor?

Boss Intake coupled with 3.73's and a good tune is a great combo

Well...Looks like I will be ordering one of these Monday along with a set of BBK headers. I am still on the fence between Paxton/Vortech. Hopefully I can decide by then.
|
What's the difference between the beefcake special and the hypermotive vortech/paxton kits?
|
Wellllll Good News!!!! The order is in!!! Beefcake Paxton Special. The horrible wait has began.
