TQ is where the Z lacks and thats why I want the SC, to help with that area.
if your going FI and focusing on TQ, a turbo will do allot better than a supercharger...why not go that route?

If we're talking about a Vortech blower, you'll be in for an unpleasant surprise long-term.

They're not all they're cracked up to be, but it'll be plenty reliable below 10 PSI. It's at 20+ PSI that they start to get iffy. I would know, unfortunately

Im just looking at GTM right now with no more than 8 psi and hope that will get me over the hump I want.
