Having had one of these, do you like the sound? Obviously, that's not the most important factor... and I want to like them, but every time I hear one I wonder if I could deal with the squirrelly sound.

Monster tease thread.

My question is will it clean up the torque dip. I guess we will have to wait for SEMA for hard numbers.

DRACHENV6 · 10-08-2012, 12:57 AM

ok I'll bite as well. What information was available this weekend? If no pics, then at least some numbers?

ATL BRZ · 10-08-2012, 10:15 AM

Can't believe nobody has posted pics from the event yesterday.

ATL BRZ · 10-08-2012, 02:26 PM

vortech makes quality parts, and their kits perform well on domestic vehicles. I like the sound of their SC ktis, but I prefer the overall performance/sound of a turbo.

spitz · 10-08-2012, 02:57 PM

I'd love an update as well!!

domsawww · 10-08-2012, 03:06 PM

Thanks for the reply! I'm really leaning towards supercharging on this car and I know Vortech is of oem quality. I've had roots blowers on two different cars in the past and really loved the whine from them. I don't know anyone with a vortech SC, so I haven't heard one up close. Seems to have a fluctuating whistle at idle on most videos that I'm not sure I'd like. Would you say it's a sound that's better in person?

bakerr6 · 10-08-2012, 03:53 PM

the sound is definately better in person. I can tell you that I do prefer the sound of a kenne bell or whipple charger more (TVS units are nice also). I wouldn't place my money down on a kit, based on sound alone. I would buy based on the way I would plan to use the power.

RAYSSPL · 10-08-2012, 04:43 PM

can we have pictures please?

Silverdub · 10-08-2012, 05:16 PM
