Thanks for the clarification and the kits, so it sounds like I woul dwant the complete kit as I would want the other changes to make sure the car operates properly and don't have to worry about other modifications due to the supercharger add on.
Typically from your experience what are the concerns and drawbacks to having this type of S/C added? When something goes wrong what is the typical type of problem? And how often does it cause other problems not covered by the Vortech ot GM warranty? Again, I want to do this but trying to cover all my bases here. |

In my experience, as long as the tuning is good and the system is installed properly, you should be good for well over 100,000 miles of reliable boosted driving. Between my last 2 supercharged cars, I've put close to 70,000 miles on Vortech Supercharged cars that I have owned personally. The only items that I've had to replace are normal wear items such as idler pulleys and belts. We go to great lengths to make sure these systems last. We do not rush production of any new Supercharging System, and the results usually speak for themselves because of this. OEM fit and finish, quality, and reliability. Plus, with the 2010 Camaro systems, you have the ability to upgrade all the way to a V-7 YSi-Trim without having to change much else! This kit is going to prove to be the one to buy for sure. As soon as some of the aftermarket tuning shops get their hands on these kits, and start putting them on project cars...the results will speak for themselves, and everyone will have to take notice! |

Thanks for the information Brian and I am definitely going to get this Vortech system but not the additional upgrades and coustom tune after the winter here in DC. Everything I have heard about the product and previous Vortech products all aseem very positive.
I live in DC and only see one Vortech Top Tier Installer, JPC Racing in MD. Are you familiar with their work? Are there other shops in the DMV area that Vortech has a relationship with and can vouch for? What about Race Proven Motorsports in DE. I have heard good things about this shop but don't know if they are affiliated with Vortech and could offer and back the 3/36 warranty available. What is the cost for the 3/36 warranty? What is the warranty that comes with the S/C system as is? Thanks to everyone for your input that help me decide to buy this car in the first place and seemingly endless possibilities to modifying it. |

I'm definetly going to go with this system in the spring. Now I just have to come up with the money and find the right shop to have it installed. I have heard from a few people on the forum with shops and will look them up and go for vistis during the winter, I really want to make the right choice on the shop for the installation. I don't care how good the system is if someone puts it in wrong or doesn't tune/set-up properly it won't do me any good and well probably just cost me more money in the end. Thanks for the input. |

I really want to see more guys install this kit. It should be capable of 10's fairly easily with the right setup

We're shipping kits now Steve...how many do you want? You'll want to get in line soon though, we're building them as fast as we can, but we've already got DOZENS of these systems on order! People are really liking what they see so far.
