I say it depends on the cost of it. You can probably buy a brand new one for around $4400 shipped. I have heard of a lot of guys buying used Vortechs and havent heard of anything negative about doing so. Just be sure you get everything that comes with it.

 

how u like your supercharger so far .??? what else did u install .??

 

See my Cardomain page for what else I have installed. In addition, you will need several hundred dollars of extra things for added saftey. You will need at minimum, a boost gauge, an EGT gauge and a wideband O2 gauge. You should also get an oil pan spacer for more oil capacity or an aftermarket baffled oil pan like the APS or the PE one. Spacer=$100, oil pan=$450-500. You will also need to get new plugs. I got NKG Iridium 1 step colder plugs for about $65.

I really like my SC now. I was disappointed when I first got it. I was ONLY puting down about 310-320RWHP. Now I have the 3.12 pulley and am puting down 367RWHP. I do have a 5AT as well which lowers my numbers.

 

I bought a used Vortech off the forum from KOPO and he sent me everything i needed to install it. With a little tuning i was putting down 384 rwhp and 311 tq... Been problem free and going strong (beat vettes, M5's ect.) thank god, for about 3 thousand miles now. I say if he gives you a good deal and you have a reputable shop to instal and tune it, you should definatly go for it
