Powerdyne or Vortech?

justjoe · 08-18-2001, 11:30 AM

I'm looking into superchargers for my bone stock '95 Cobra(other than a K&N filter). I looked at this place in a magazine that were selling stage 3 superchargers that wanted more for the Vortech than the PowerDyne. What's the difference performance wise between the two. Is the Vortech worth the extra money?

It can be argued that the Vortech's are more efficient (as far as charge temperature is concerned), but it's proven they are more reliable. Can't beat the gear driven impellers (Powerdyne's are belt driven and can/will break in time, or under heavy abuse). 3 year standard warranty isn't bad either. Go Vortech.
