There is a Dealer Locator on our website - just click HERE and punch in your zip code.



By law, we are required to make this statement on every system we manufacture until the California Air Resources Board attaches an E.O. number to it. We submit every single street supercharger system we manufacture for C.A.R.B. certification, and the Gen. 5 Camaro is no exception to that.
I'm torn between the Vortech and the Magnacharger for just this reason. Now if you are saying that the boost actually occurs much earlier than that would change the picture and I wouldg o with the Vortech as I can get that much cheaper.

Is there anyone else on the forum that can attest to the fact that the Vortech boost actually happens before 400rpm's regularly as mentioned above? If so than I think this may make for a better city ride. WHat do you guys think?

Thanks JP

JP, did you mean 4000 RPMs? If so, yes, I can attest to that.

Thanks for the info and I did mean 4000rpm's. I'm still leaning towards the Maggie through Livernois at the moment. I think they have the best bang for the buck.

Thanks

Check out Rick Bottom's V-7 YSi-Trim powered SEMA-bound Camaro in these videos! Rick and Modern Muscle put some of their custom touches on this kit (orange blower, bracket, tensioner, and ducting), so I don't want anyone asking if the kit comes with an orange supercharger, OK?

I guess I deserve that. We currently offer Satin and Polished finishes only guys. Any custom colors, you'll have to make friends with a powdercoater, or do it yourself.

We can do custom powder coating too kits before they ship. Here are a few that we have done. We can add any graphic, logos, flames, ect. Prices range from a additional 350.00 to 600.00 to any kit. Here are a few Vettes we have done.

Camaro SS LS3--631 RWHP

This kit is awesome, and it makes super power.
On my LS3 it made 631 RWHP @ 7.5 psi with ARH headers,
high flow cats, 3" exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers.
It made a 235 increase in peak hp, that's a 60% increase.
It made a 245 hp increase at 6200 rpm, that's 64%.
