Believe me, I wish I had more info, I'll see if I can drag anything more out of them. The worst part about getting a new car in the market is that you have to wait for everything to be developed!! GAHHH

They said it would most likely be available around winter 2012.

My Z been Vorteched since 2006 and I'm happy with it. It's an upgraded system where I started with 320whp till the 455whp I'm running now.

I like how Vortech sells the whole turn-key kit that comes pre-tuned with safe mapping

I just got another email for Vortech, I guess they can't divulge anymore information. BOOO!!! Although, they said they should have more information in the next couple weeks.

Interesting, keeping an eye out for this!

Vortech makes some awesome stuff, although pricey..

We've sold and installed about a half dozen of their kits for the 5th gen Camaro SS and all of our customers have been happy with it.

Can't wait to see some numbers myself and see it in action!

I have a buddy who has a Vortech kit for his 2011 Mustang and it's awesome. I can't wait for SC kits to start becoming availible for these cars.

At SEMA you say? Don't worry guys, I'll be sure to take plenty of pictures.

Vortech makes nice stuff, i had their system on my 350z and loved it!!

Here is a pic i love how clean the install is.

YUCK,

I personally do not agree with the vortech/procharge style chargers, it has all the draw backs of a Roots type blower and all of the drawbacks of a turbo (once installed)

and doesn't perform half aswell as either, if anyone seriously wants SC instead of Turbo just wait for a real SC kit (ie using a roots type blower.)
