You’ve probably seen the memes on social media that show a ludicrously gigantic, locomotive sized blower or turbo mounted up to an engine on some car with a caption that reads something like, “After a week, John decides he needs more power.”
And it’s funny because, by and large, it’s true.
If being a car guy or gal is a disease, then symptom number one is a constant, unslacking thirst for power. After all, what’s more fun than a hard hit off the line, or turning a set of perfectly good tires into smoke? It’s addictive, right?
That’s where Vortech Superchargers has made its mark on the industry, both among hard-core racers and hobbyists. Their rock-solid centrifugal blower designs and mounting kits are one of the easiest ways to make absolute gobs of dependable power in practically anything that turns gasoline into motion.
One of their latest designs is the third-generation blower kit for the venerable small-block Chevrolet. The kit uses Vortech’s compact V-3 Si-Trim compressor and athe accessory drives, which allows you to run an A/C compressor and/or power steering if you like.
