If you wanted to go the T trim route, the outright purchase was the only method to get there via vortech.

This is why the S2k community just "overspins" the Si trim for 500 whp. 600 whp was achieved with a novi 1500 blower. However, it appears the fa20 runs around 80 whp less than a similarly FI'd f20c (I'm thinking the "extra" 1200 rpm helps) so you may need to go right to the novi 1500 for 500 whp.

There is always the option of doing your own work via superchargerrebuilds.com and add your own impeller and high speed bearings, but vortech may no longer service your blower after that.

HTH

Thank's a lot Man!!!!
Great advise!!
NOVI-1500 or may be NOVI-2000!!!
I will try to ask Vortech about posibility to exchange my blower for Paxton Novi and if it will fit my mounting bracketry I will go that way.
Just one more question: as Paxton and Vortech belongs to the same company Is it same quality???

I'm sorry I can't really speak to the reliability of the two blowers beyond what a google search will tell you. I can tell you offhand the s2k and 350z communities have been happy with these blowers and the only times I've seen "issues" is when people way over spin them without the appropriate bearings or past the efficiency of the impeller.
