Answer 4

If it's from THIS Vortech, I'd expect it to work:

http://www.vortechsuperchargers.com/

Many of Vortech's kits are good for a lot more than 35 hp. Of course, they generally cost a couple thousand dollars, but their parts do perform as claimed.

If you have an older small block Chevy and are thinking about bolting on a set of Vortec heads off a later pickup, yes, those seem to work about as claimed.

If it's the Vortex Valve, no. I've seen several different occasions where somebody has dyno tested this type of mod, and in every case, without fail, the engine lost power. Popular Mechanics, CNN, and a few random guys on the Internet have dyno tested this and always had the same results - negative. I have yet to see an independant dyno test show one of these things to work, and seen many where it failed.

Answer 5

The Vortec Cyclone is a separator. It works like this:
1) Potential customer desires better fuel economy and sees ad
for the Cyclone.
2) Potential customer is taken in by claims of higher fuel mileage.
3) Potential customer goes to parts store.
4) At check out counter, potential customer reaches in wallet and
takes out hard earned money to pay for Cyclone. This is where
the separation takes place.....the potential customer is now
a vested customer and is separated from his money.
5) After a couple of tanks of gas, customer realizes he has been
scammed and begins to suffer from separation anxiety
(in other words, he misses his money)

its pretty much bs, i thought it was so i checked the link.well first it restricts intake.i know its supposed to speed up flow,etc,but when you stifle off almost 1/3 of diameter with restriction it cant be good.a turbo,blower or supercharger gives a positive displacement of air in the cylinder.if that does that, its minute.its a waste of good money,my humble opinion.

Answer 8

Well the "firefighter" should have read Popular Mechanics about 6 months ago when they tested one of them, They said "SCAM"
