Well see. I agree it would be fun. I might throw a supercharger on it in a year or two. less maintenance fewer things to go sideways on a guy.

I disagree. There's more maintenance on a SCer since it has oil changes. The tubro setups get their cooling from areas that are already part of the system (i.e. either engine oil or coolant) so that maintenance happens with normal upkeep. You do have to check vacuum hoses for WGs but that's pretty easy. If you do the proper care during install you will take care of any of the things that might go sideways.

So if you had a V1 or V2 vortech, which are plumbed into oil pan, would you still say superchargers are more maintenance?

No but all the SC kits I've seen for this platform use self contained oil.
