Difference between Paxton & Vortech

[Weedo]

What is the difference between the Paxton and Vortech blowers? I've heard they're the same?.?.?

Sorry if this has been addressed...

Also, are there any other "active" '05 Mustang Forums out there?

Seriously... no one knows the answer?

Maybe I'm just being impacient...

the blower itself is slightly different on the compression side of things.Programming is essentially the same on both units on the Non I/c kits , but is different on the H.O kits. vortech kit used a air/water aftercooler and the paxton used an air to air intercooler set on their supercharger kit.

Now, the companies haven't merged have they? I've just heard a couple people calling them the "vortech/paxton" supercharger. So I guess non-intercooled, either one is basically the same.

Thanks for the info!

Vortech owns paxton and they are in the same building..so yes in a matter of speaking they are one in the same.Blowers are slightly different as well as the intercooling..Non I/c kits are essentially the same yes..

Interesting. I wonder why they would bother with making two "almost the same" blowers rather than just consolidating? Anyway, thanks for the responses!

They both have their loyal following so they are keeping them separate. If they didn't, that would be like killing or consolidating the Ford name if GM were to buy them out. Care for a GTO/Mustang?
