Vortech, Paxton, KB, Powerdyne. Whats the difference?

[Stanger007]

If i am not mistaken they will fit under a stock hood (KB). I am getting a KB because of the low end torque and my auto.

A torque converter + tranny cooler will rock your world and melt your tires!

Oh yeah and don't forget the noise factor... obnoxious V1 S-trim FTW. :-D

Wes

A T trim is even more obnoxious..............that what I love about it!!!

Doesn't the T-trim headunit bolt into the S-trim brackets with little to no modification?

Wes

 

[cbarr300]

if so....then my 427 build just got a bit cheaper

 

[S351Saleen77]

Thats why Im going with the V-1 if I get a Vortech.

If it's to loud your too old!!! And I bet I'm alot older than you!!

Yeah......and the power of a T- Trim is awesome....way more low end than the old R- trim with all the top end!!

I ran no cat and no mufflers for like 3 months and the only reason I got mufflers was because it rattled too much **** in my car. not because it was too loud. As Wes. He heard it. lol

I love loud stuff.

Now that's a killer upgrade path - if a 5 minute $60 pulley doesn't make it fast enough, bolt in a new headunit in about 30 minutes. :-D

[Stanger007]

Ask Wes. He heard it. lol

Ears still ringing.

Did Sam tell you we ran his car around open headers after we finished up his Trickflow install? (midpipe not even close to fitting)

It was just silly how loud it was at idle... could not even talk... WOT was insane... and we loved every minute of it.

Going down the road we see an old lady in her yard literally put her hands over her ears before we even got up to her.

It was trailered to exhaust shop... it was an attention getter to say the least.

Vortech guys have more fun,
Wes

I remeber you telling me about the open headers. lol

Its fun huh?

Exactly! A T-trim bolts right on. If I was buying new I wouldn't even consider a S-trim. Unless I had a stock 302 and didn't plan on much upgrading to the motor.

 

[turbogt]

i bought a used vortech kit off here for right at $2k with maf/inj.

i dunno what you can get a kb for, but you can find used vortech's all day long for around that price--btw there are so many used vortechs cuz guys take them off for turbos lol.

btw, my price is negotiable as i have alot of extra parts in the kit.

YEP! You'll be seeing mine for sale for the same reason too..

 

[The Green GT]

I have a guy offering me a T-trim with all this for $2500. what do you guys think? Too much blower?

T-Trim head unit
- freshly rebuilt by Vortech
- race transmission (REALLY noisy BTW)
Custom 10-rib pulley setup
- only one of its kind that I'm aware of (crank pulley was almost $500 alone)
- two blower pulleys
- custom billet tensioner for 10-rib
- billet tensioner reinforcement (so you can REALLY tighten it down)
- custom water pump pulley to fit huge crank pulley
- two blower belts

Oil feed and drain lines
All updgraded silicone couplers and t-bolt clamps
Anderson Power Pipe
Greddy Blowoff Valve
Custom inlet tubing (setup for Fox TB conversion, SN95 setups suck)
Hardware, brackets, accessories (I'll buy all new shiny grade 8 bolts for you to make sure they're all there since I haven't installed it yet, and was planning to do this anyway)
Instructions
Some of the stock stuff (which you can sell on eBay)

Most people I see with T trims are built. Stick with the S trim.

Yea, thats usually what I see too.

 

[cbarr300]

too much blower?

nah...

not enough engine

 

[The Green GT]

too much blower?

nah...

not enough engine

Too much blower for my small engine.

 

[cbarr300]

haha, if I could afford it, I'd have a T-trim on mine right now.

One day I'm gonna sell it and get a t-trim unit...one day.

I've heard vortech only gives like a $500 credit if you give them a used s-trim......


btw, if you do get a KB:

if you thought you had traction problems now......wait til you slap that thing on there

Well

I'm getting in late on this one

I always check tech first and lately ... been kinda busy

Good points by all

I wanted to stress two points that have been talked about

1) about the Tweecer

We really need to starting telling it like it really is ........

They are how much these days
Like 550 for the interface

Lets be really honest here

You need to add in the cost of ......
a wide band @ 200-300
supporting software @ 50-100
used laptop @ 100-300

2) about blower supporting mods

while we're being honest

upgraded parts like
meter
injectors
fuel pump
ignition
maybe more

point is ... add more $$$

Making the jump to a blower is more involved than it first seems :Word:

These kinda threads are good to help ... ed u ma kate ... folks

They ought to be in tech though
