Difference Vortech and Procharger
Well the Vortech kits are very good, but they are limited on the amount of power they can make @ 600 is max there are a few that are making a tad more, but that is not common its comparable to a P1SC with the P1 being a tad larger or baicly moving more air. So it just depends on what you are trying to do. I had great success with mine. You can get a T-trim up grade from RMCR, but then the Procharger starts becoming more cost effective IMO. GL! Hope that helps.

His question refered to the Vortech Kits and there is not a kit that fits our cars (F-bodies) with anything other than the G-trim with out some company such as RMCR that does the conversions (T-trim?YSI), and you would have to have a Ram air T/A or some other aftermarked hood for the YSI to fit in the location of the G-tim. Yeah Z-8's bracket will run a YSI, but he doesn't sell a kit just a bracket and you have to build from there. So cost wise the Procharger will generally win.
Dont get me wrong, I like prochargers. I just dont like the fact that the blower sits down by the radatior and I work at our state track here in clorado and have see over the last few years two or three i cant remember thats blower hat has fallen off and they have sucked rocks and other misc things into the blower, I have an aftermarket hood, and I will eventually be running a ysi head unit. And for the price, I will be into the vortech for only around 4k compared to 6-8 k for a procharger and be making similar power.
You can do alot of things if you are doing a custom setup for sure. I haven't had anymajor issues with the low mounting location, almost sucked in a few small animals and childeren lol! But buying a kit from a S/C company can be challenging when you are looking for something specific. I try to offer suggestions on readily available kits cause not everyone can build there own stuff and you never know who you are talking to as far as skill in that department. When doing a custom set up the sky is the limit or your wallet which ever runs out first. GL with your set up and post up some pics of your progress.

It just comes down to personal opnion at this point. You can make good numbers with either unit, just depends on how much you want to spend at this point and I agree with Interceptor that there is a lot of cost that people dont calculate into the final price of foreced induction. Cam is very important imo, so that you can keep your boost in the engine longer and making make power.

We are both in the same boat...lol. I am waiting on differant head unit to be installed. But the intual build made me freak when I found out all the little misc stuff that you need. Extra Fuel pump, aeromotive window switch, fuel pressure guage (mise well get the pillar at the same time, boost guage, oil temp guage, switches, injectors, blah, blah , blah that hurt the mind lol. But I agree definatley makes you feel better to know that it is done right the first time, instead of ca bomb going the cheap route...
