Vortech Supercharger

Vortech just put up a story in Instagram with a 6 Gen Camaro. Hopefully we'll see something soon.

I'm hoping to see what kind of numbers they are putting up. Not much cheaper than magnuson, edelbrock, or whipple.

It is the same air filter Hot location as the Procharger.

Let's see if we can find the hottest air possible and use that.

Just because you can centrifugal supercharge it, doesn't mean you should.

The air goes into a cooler....just saying....
I'm sure the capacity of said cooler is enough to lower the intake temp to where it should be, Vortech is not new to the game, they know where they have to be to make power.

Pretty sure they tested IAT's with that filter location and found them to be in line with other systems....FYI

Having a Ysi filter over the headers didn't stop me or others from making over 1kwhp in Gen Vs.

That intercooler is bigger than it looks in the grill, I'll admit.

And of couse more heat comes via the compression of air than via ambient intake temp.

Doesn't change the fact that it kinda looks silly, even if it works fine.

They also added a heat shield that absorbs some of the heat between the filter and headers, and the picture of the intercooler is the greatest. It starts right where the bottom of the top grill and bumper meet.

Last email I got from Chris at ECS stated that right now it's a Vortech kit. I asked them about using a restrictor plate and they said once they have one in front of them they will see.
