First Vortech 2010 Camaro SS arrives for R&D

[SummoneR]

Awesome Brian!!
This may be the first supercharger I purchase! I have heard nothing but great things about your superchargers! I like the look of the traditional twin screw superchargers, but I can't deny the power and reliability of Vortech centrifugal! Beside's I'll be getting on the throttle more than looking under the hood! Visually what matters is the inter cooler anyway, that's what can be seen more often! (IMHO)

Keep up the good work!

A 10-rib drive will simply have less belt slippage. So, when some of the more crazy of you guys start wanting more and more boost, putting smaller and smaller pulleys on the blower, the drive will certainly not be a limiting factor for you. We've got your back on this one for sure.

10-rib Sounds Awesome. Did you have to include the new crank in order to use the 10-rib setup?
Will you be offering an 8-rib setup that will possibly not require you to replace the crank damper as an easier install option for people not looking to boost up beyond the 8-rib limits? Might be a good idea if possible.

The sound in the teaser video is actually of that same IOM car from the video, but I shot the video footage and had the entire video edited and ready to go when they said they were ready to fire the car up. Sooooooo, I scrapped my original (music) audio track for the video, ran back to Engineering, recorded the audio track of the car idling and revving, dropped it into the video, and posted it up for you guys to enjoy! I'll have a whole new video for you guys with all that stuff including dyno footage on the next go around...maybe next week? You'll have dyno numbers as soon as I do though - I PROMISE!!!

Just keep Ricky away from the car until it's finished ... He might become a GM guy.

Nice job guys! Can't wait to get these kits in stock and installed on some Camaro's!

Here are a couple of teaser shots to keep you salivating...





In case you are wondering, the spots with blue putty on the gearcase and volute of the Supercharger are to test for hood clearances. Simple, but effective...

Stay tuned for more info!!!

Hello all! I have to have a 1st post somewhere... Figured I'd lose my cherry in this forum. I definitely need to know how to either get on the list or get in your garage. Love the 3-Si Trim! Any stats that can be posted on this install from the performance tests?

-BTW if anybody knows a good racing school, I'd love to go and formally train on how this handle this girl so I can know what to expect from handling / performace in a track environment! Seen too many pics of these babies in the sides of doughnut shops and such... Thanks all. Love the forum!
