Why does Vortech get such a bad rap??

Thank you.

There is a member on here doing more than 600 to the wheels with a G tirm.

I'm not going to comment on any thread on the Corvette Forum.
I don't need to contact SCDE....my ATI kit works just fine, no slip whatsoever!

But none-the-less, it's impressive!
Boost is cool, no matter where it comes from (ProCharger, Vortech, turbo, leaf blower, ect!)!

you need to get educated, Andy from A+A Corvette (a well known and respected sponsor on this forum and corvette forum) posted a thread stating that ATI will not sell the headunits alone anymore, they require him to buy 3 complete kits for every headunit they sell to him. He had something like 20 headunits on order that were backordered for months.. Andy lost about 100-200,000 dollars of business cause of this.
"I'm not going to comment on any thread on the Corvette Forum."-- oh please.
"He must be spinning the blower pretty close to redline and/or using nitrous/meth injection to help it out!" -spinning it close to redline yea, nitrous or meth? he'd be making a lot more.
know what you are talking about and back it up with facts before making comments.

I have a vortech T trim with a measily 1200 cfm and make 650 and hopefully in the next couple of days I will put down close to 700 with the new air-water setup that is almost finished on the car.
Most of the people around here run ATi but when it comes down to it the most consistent cars have been vortech.

BTW: ATI's policy is one full kit for every 3 headunits, not 3 kits for every single headunit. Andy would not have lost much money at all, if any, if he would have followed the policy.

what kind of times have you gotten out of your ATI kit

I haven't been to the track since the blower, but with minimal tuning, it made 462 rwhp/400 ft-lbs. On just 6 psi with an a/f of 10.2:1. The ignition was breaking up on the top end, replaced the opti this past week, and hope to get it back on the dyno this weekend or next. With it running right, and leaned out a little, it should make about 475. Have I mentioned this is on a stock shortblock LT1 with minimal head porting and a 306 cam?
Ok I edited my post with the numbers that I went back and looked at them.
And what is your excuse I am just at work LOL! Talk with you later.
