    5.0 buy or no??

    Ok I think I have a good opportunity to buy an engine out of a 95 5.0. It has 107,000 kms on it and it started to use oil. The #8 cyl has very low compression, comes with everything except accessories, and thats all I know about the status of the damage. I want it to build on the side and...

    Slight Rattle or Knock?

    oh that's not good, is there any way of knowing for sure or am I better to get a mechanic to look at it, or are they gonna just guess what the problem is? guess I will have to make a decision to gamble or to not gamble.

    Slight Rattle or Knock?

    When my car warms up there is a slight rattle or knock, sounds like it is coming from the top of the engine, maybe valve train or something like that?? I know it is virtually impossible to diagnose this without hearing the car but the motor is stock with very minor mods and it has barely 80,000...

    Thanks a lot I will look at the manual from vortech and get a good idea what i am dealing with and go from there. There is just so much to know and I have a lot to learn about supercharging.

    Vortech or Procharger??

    Ok well I live in Canada, manitoba to be exact and the performance market is lets just say not booming and there are really no shops that can burn a chip around here so if I am going to need a custom chip and tuning I may just be better off to H/C/I this car and be done with it. I don't want to...

    Vortech or Procharger??

    So if I just put the components that vortech gives me in the kit I can intall it in my shop at home? or do I still need a professional shop to install it, for the calibration and so on? I have a very good mechanical know how, do all of my own work and have rebuilt engines, just never played...

    Vortech or Procharger??

    I don't understand why you can't just bolt on a vortech supercharger kit. On thier website they say that everything is included for a "complete" installation that will give your car 108hp over stock without any other mods. So if all I want is that 108hp they say it will give me why do I need...

    Vortech or Procharger??

    So when Vortech says that they sell the complete kit down to the wiring connectors all that does is install it on the car?? you can't just put it on and drive it?? even with just a base system like they sell for an extra 108hp, you have to change injectors and upgrade fuel and ignition. I...

    Vortech or Procharger??

    So the general idea i am getting is vortech is an easy bolt on and very dependable. And if i am not looking for a strip car and want driveability I should look at the vortech. not procharger? does that sound right??

    Vortech or Procharger??

    I have decided that H/C/I will be a lot of extra work and hard to decide which company to go with so I have decided to just bolt on the hp's through a supercharger. I can't decide which to go with, Vortech sounds good, just bolt it on and leave it alone. Procharger claims higher hp 60% and...
