VERRRYYY nice looking car my man. I love the setup! A Vortech is probably the most fun setup to drive around town imo.



BTW if you are running methanol in you water/meth injection kit you could get him to lean out the AFR a little more and throw in a little more timming. Just a thought

Not to get into a debate - but without much torque it's not a whole hell of a lot of fun around town. Only time you can see power is if you mash on it - alerting the cops. For around town, a turbo or Stillen would probably be the way to go - but that's just imo.

Now, on a cruise event, or any other situation where you can open it up - it sure is fun

well i have owned both a full out vortech setup on my old car and currently have twin turbos. IMO while the twins are fun, the vortech is just so smooth and easy to deal w/ traction. Its just a personal preference i guess. Now if was worried about racing i would take my twins in a heart beat .

If you go w/ a small enough pulley you don't have to mash the throttle all the way

Haha, alright, I take it back. I actually haven't been in a car with either - I just wish I had some torque. I was spoiled in high school having a Buick GS with a 455

Yeah - I'm definitely getting some looks as well. I just moved to a new town with a bunch of high school ricers, so it's fun to snap some necks.
