Help ID Vortech Supercharger So I ran across this Vortech blower on craigslist and had a buddy on the other coast of Florida pick it up for me. I got it really cheap and according to my buddy its spins nice and free with no shaft play. I still don't have it in hand but heres the craigslist posting pics.
Unfortunately someone decided to pull the tag off it and sand it down to polish it.
I was told it came with an LS1 camaro vortech kit but it definitely looks bigger then the V-9 G units that came in the camaro kits.
Anyone have an idea what blower this is?

I still don't have the charger in hand so thats why I'm trying looking for a visual estimation right now.
The second I get it in hand I'll measure it for the dimensions and get Vortech's take on it.

O.D. of Inlet: 3.625"
I.D. of Inlet: Approximately: 3.150"
O.D. of Oulet: 2.50"
I.D. of Outlet: 2.050"
Maybe this will help narrow it down

Well after measuring and comparing to vortech's specs, I am 90% sure its a a V-9 G trim unit, max 800 CFM, 600hp. Seems that the seller was right on, it came from an ls1 camaro kit. Not bad for $600 and seems to be in good working order.
Now comes the fun of making a bracket for this to go on my Gen 1 350ci SBC in a mazda Rx7. With a good intercooler, meth injection, and megasquirt II injection, I'm hoping to get 500 hp at the wheels.
Gonna need to build a little bit better bottom end then a cast crank, factory forged X rods, and forged speed pro Flat top pistons. My compression ratio with the 64cc heads is also going to be a bit high so may need to get a thicker heads gasket for the initial setup.
