Default Vortech S-Trim w/dyno

I got the S-Trim impeler upgrade back from Vortech, and went to Mathews in Longmont Co, for tune, They have a Mustang dyno (only been on Dynojet befor today) After about 25 runs it looked good on paper, A/F good 392 rwhp with tq @ 321. 10 psi.
My last DynoJet before impeler and Crawford headerswas about 398hp so I didn't think too much, but road test made me think otherwise!!! Wow.. I'm happy for now.

Kevin...good to see more guys upgrading the blower . Im surprised you didnt get more boost from it . Time for the 2.87 pulley , your not even close to its max rpm rating . Are you going back to your Dynojet to compare ? Bet your in the 450whp range

ooops..edit...I miss read your post . Though it was a T-trim . You still ended up with great hp on a Mustang dyno

The S-trim is a nice upgrade to the V2. Isn't the Sc-trim a slightly cut down S-trim.

I think they both have the same overall output and flow, but the S-trim can do it at lower impeller speeds. Basically, you'll get more boost using the same pulley that you were using with the sc-trim.

I did the same upgrade on a V1 when I had a blown 96 cobra. It was good for 536 rwhp at only 10.5 psi (6200 rpms)

Ive upgraded to the T-trim blower . Working on getting up to 16psi . Was at 13.2psi , but the IC that comes with the kit is way small and to much back preasure betwwen IC and blower is to high and belt slips no matter how tight I got it

S-trim is very linear, power comes on smooth and continues through red line.

Same with the T-trim . You just get more booost sooner and it builds all the way to redline

Great numbers you can add 10 - 12% that will give approximatly what they would be on a dynojet.

Awesome Kevin so everything worked out great for you and your s-trim. I have mine on and compared to my friends coupe with the sc vortech I leave him about 3 cars back when we go at it. Major difference my boost comes on so much quicker. I am going to upgrade to the 2.87 and see what I can get right now i am on the 3.13. I need to get on the dyno better than street tuning with the e-manage.

i am not sure of the cost of the upgrade as I had an extra CCW s trim to try out. I still have my SC trim supercharger. I think Kevin once said it cost in the area of 150-250

Wow that is cheap, I heard that the T-trim was like a 1000 so there seems to be a large difference, what is the turnaround time as I may just send mine in.

the sc-trim is eseentially an s-trim impeller that they cut down. I think that is right. Overall, they both produce the same flow and boost levels, but they have different rpm ranges. The sc-trim can be spun a bit higher (makes sense if it is lighter and a cut-down s-trim).

A t-trim wheel has different dimension than the sc- or s-trim wheel, that is why it is so much more to upgrade.

The T-trim has a different housing too . It has a bigger air inlet...4 inches
