vortech used superchargers ?s

Jnstang89 · Aug 3, 2004

I just wanted to know if buying a used supercharger is a bad thing to do or is it ok to do. Would there be a chance i get it and it doesnt work or anything like that? I just want to see if its safe to find a used one. Does anyone know where i can find a good one used to buy? Thanks everyone

You want to make sure the person you're buying from is trustworthy, just like anything else. You can put together a really inexpensive Vortech setup if you shop carefully. Personally I would get the brackets used, and look for a recently rebuilt head unit. The Corral classifieds are much better than StangNet's. And there's always eBay.

If I ever sell mine..Ill let you know..

CHECK with Vortech..Im not sure, but I think they may have some plan where you pay them a couple hundred $$, and they "re warranty" it. Im not sure, but check it out!

Used, youre looking at $1500-$2000, depending on what it comes with, polished or not, age, "supply and demand", etc.

Any more than 1500 and I'd start seriously looking at new. You can get a new one for less than 2500.

VibrantRedGT · Aug 3, 2004

Just a few months too late. I sold mine for $1900 on Ebay. The guy that I bought it from had it serviced by Vortech before sending it to me. Of course I called with the serial number and it checked out.

Summit satin finish Vortech S-Trim $3552.

How do you define "quality one"? I was thinking Vortech V2.

I was thinking for $2500 all you can get new is a Powerdyne. That Summit price is a V2. For a FOX body an A-trim is $1895. ATI, Paxton, Kenne Bell are all over $3200.

EDIT=Damn Post order! Looks like I'm talking to myself.

Senior moment?

I admit that I'm thinking tuner kit, because that's more appropriate for me (don't want no stinkin' FMU, thanks ). Muscle Motors sells the Vortech S-trim tuner kit with V1 or V2 head unit for $2400.

If I don't find a good price on a used one, that'll be the way I go. While not really financially ready, I've been keeping my eye on S-Trims for several months. Although lately I've seen some better deals, people usually want $2K+ for em. Who knows how many little pices will be missing too. Vortech rapes you on little pieces.

A-trim is not made any more. Got my Paxton for $1600, brand new. That sucks you get screwed. You should all call Vortech and tell them to make you a cheap kit, lol.

Guess Summit still has a few A-Trims because they are advertising them for $1895 on the website.

Question is, is it a 94-95 kit?
I bought a fox body kit for my 89 w/ everything (other than a few small pieces, like an alt. stay), with 8 and 10 rib set-ups for $1300. You can still get killer deals on fox bodies, but it seems if you're par4t of the scourge (94-94), you're better off buying a tuner kit.
