Drawbacks to Vortech Supercharger?
I was just wondering if there were any major drawbacks. It seems like it has the best of both worlds... power like a turbo, simplicity like supercharger. Any opinions on this kit?

I would buy either a turbo or the JRSC before I bought this kit!! The peak hp is higher than JRSC but it's powerband is tiny! You'd be much better off w/ a turbo, better powerband, intercooler, and the list goes on.....

Vortech 
, I wouldnt do this just because of the powerband. You wont make full power up untill the high rpm's. I would choose jrsc over this any day. Just go turbo !
