I would suggest Vortech over the 2 options.

Read the FI for NOOBS thread carefully.. then make your OWN decision since your the one paying for it... good luck....

What i herd so far is vortech and stillen makes good power. I just know that HKS is pretty good because Rotex makes good supercharger.

Stillen makes the most power and is the most reliable.. 550whp on pump.. you just need a special part that Stillen doesn't sell.. Intense Motorsports in AZ sells it.. pm them for the part and price

unfortunately i'm not allowed to post the part name..

i wasn't talking about the PL Kit.. i was just trying to get people to PM Darren instead of me.. whatever he wants to tell them after that is up to him..

you do realize i don't have a PL Kit right? so i'm not exactly pushing sales for one.. the reason i said PM Intense is because Darren is the only vendor off the top of my head i can think of who can take a joke like that

edit.. oh and Sharif too.. maybe i should have said PM Sharif.. next time then

I r confused
550whp stillen supercharger?
I think I can get that special from LAWGIRL for like 20 bucks.
Hey if you install it I think you might only loose to an rsx by 1 car length when the rsx is in reverse....

Vortech>all other S/C

I would be careful with that one. The HKS one produces more torque, and i think we haven't seen the full potential of the HKS unit.
