I am running the Vortech SC with the 5AT. The Vortech comes with a 3.33 pulley which I was puting out abut 5.5 PSI. Most people are puting out close to 8 PSI with the 3.3 pulley. My numbers at the PSI was roughly 340RWHP and 285RWTQ.

I soon got bored with this power and upgraded to the 3.12 pulley which is now giving me ~9.5 at the most and maybe as low as 7.5 PSI. My numbers now are 367RWHP and 305RWTQ.

This kit does come with an air to air intercooler.

IMO, the Vortech is one of the safest F/I kits out and it has proven reliability and power. The ATI has blown several motors and so has the Vortech, but not as many from what I know of. Even though Vortech says their kit will only fit the 6MT, it WILL obviously fit the 5AT and it will work great.

The ONLY downside to the SC is less torque (but this is safer) down low and less potential. Hope this helps some.
