I know. We've been "designing a new website" for months, so updates to the current one have been lax...big time. In the meantime, just call and talk to our guys in sales/tech - 805-247-0226. They'll fill you in on anything you'd like to know.

Part number and pricing is listed at the bottom of this page on our website though - http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/page.php?id=30190

I responded to you in another thread. This is a poor life decision. Please ask your tuner to email you a base tune. These superchargers don't have a delay spool like a turbo. Also the maf is scaled differently due to its location, and size. Sure it may work, but it is not a good idea.

The car won't even start if you have an aftermarket map sensor, and will barely run if at all if you changed the injectors.

After starting the car daily in temps ranging from 5*F to -5*F, I have no more doubts to the ability of the vortech to survive winter... and this is the worst we have had in a WHILE.

Not sure it would be happy in Canada or someplace that gets to -30*F, but neither would I lol

It fluctuates a lot here. Tomorrow and the rest of the week is supposed to be around +5C (40F) as a high for the next while.

I'd happily move to California if there was more work there. I think their cost of living is actually slightly less than Calgary in a lot of places even with their higher taxes. Minus health care, you guys get bent over for that.

Take ANY other dyno sheet for this kit, change the numbers on the Y axis however you want (higher or lower) tell everyone that it's a low reading dyno.

BAM. Instant Mustang dyno chart.
