looks badass but i dont think i can ever go back to a centri again. The noise of a roots blower is just 100x better even if it makes less power id rather have a roots or twin screw

The really interesting thing to me about it is the air-to-air intercooler instead of the air-to-water that vortech usually uses. Maybe a room and ease of packaging issue?

Like all the others out there, guess we'll see how it shakes out.

Here is a longer thread with Brian @ Vortech responding.

He says it is air-to-air because that is what most customers are wanting and also because of space issues.

One thing to think about, centrifugal superchargers work better at higher RPM's just like the new 5.0...

The more I look, the more I don't like the super tight fit. Sure would be hell to work on the FEAD.

I think with this motor a turbo kit like Hellion makes for the 2010 will be the hot setup.

I guess we'll have to wait and see... but rest assured I know the Kenne Bell kit won't disappoint
