Well I am about to order my Vortech V1 SC Trim for my 5.0. I was just wondering how loud is this thing is gonna be. I did some searchs and everyone seems to say the V1 S Trim is really loud. How about the V1 SC OR SQ.

its loud man.....I have the same one. I like the noise it makes, it is the loudest at idle and you don't notice it going down the road.

Do those have straight cut gears or helical gears? Just curious. Thanks

pretty sure it has straight cut gears, it sounds like every-other A, S, T trim I have seen......but if you go to vortech's website, it says helical.... I think its supposed to be SQ trim on their website that has the helical gears

check out this vid....loud under the hood at first.

SC trim has straight cut gears and it is loud like the s trim and etc.

but i think the SC is available in a SQ version where its quiet
i run an SC trim and here is a video of my car. here is how my SC trim sounds.

i had it runnin in that vid and few days later i pulled it all back apart. the guy i had do the heads put the wrong length valves in and it threw the rocker geometry off, since its a bolt down rocker arm its harder to adjust. i imagine it could have been adjusted out with a stud rocker arm but the valve tip was almost flush with the retainer and i didnt want to run it like that. i ended up getting screwed pretty much on the work. i pulled it all apart and had another guy ( should have taken to him the first time) do them for me. we got the CORRECT valves and some loose guides replaced, all new springs and seals etc etc they are all freshened up. i will get them back this week. but i am probably not going to use them, i just bought a set of twisted wedges today so i am going to use them. i am going to suck it up and start with a nice TFS head. so i will have a set of nice thumper heads with bigger valves for sale here shortly with some goodies with them.
