    Hmmm, I guess I'm a bit old school. I've done the bolt ons, added a mild cam, a tune, and hoping for mid 12s in a few weeks. I'll save over the winter for ported heads, get another tune, and see what I got in the spring. A buddy of mine has a NA S197 and if it's cool this Friday he's going to try for 11s. I'm not sure but he may be the first if he pulls it off.

    There's instant gratification with a S/C or turbo, but something about doing adding parts-->dyno-->racetrack test and tune-->repeat that appeals to me...

    LOL that wasn't directed at the vortech. Yes I had a vortech before and know it has a belt.

    It was directed at the lack of blower love due to all the turbo worshipers.

    I ran a Vortech for 6 yrs....then swapped
    I cant belive I waited so long...no worshipers just hard facts.

    Free power is good power, and the OODLES of TQ and no belt slip is nice also. (yes i said oodles haha)

    I have no 1st hand with Roots blowers but I will tell you I dont miss my Vortech one lil bit.
