    Yo everybody here are some pics of my buddy Danny's(aka "0 60 Gone") 08 Jeep that is in the process of being the very first one blown directly by VORTECH. It should be completed sometime next month. Can't wait till he hands out some ass kickings out there since we will have our much needed top end power to counteract the pure mass/weight that our Jeeps struggle with at high speeds!(did that make sense?:sly:) I know there isn't much piping because our Jeeps are crammed for space but there was no relocating of anything so it's all good IMO! :dancinlock:

    PROPS to Danny for being the guinea pig to get this awesome blower out for our Jeeps!!!:friends:

    What do you think?

    Cool to see, but I thought Vortech had a GCSRT8 kit ready to come out? That unit is a fab-up. Plus Vortech wouldn't use a cog drive on a street driven, A/T car. I'm confused.

    Actually they are using a cog drive on our kits. A few have been released such as diego chrysler and stretch. Mother mopars and mine come back in the next 2 weeks. I think stretchs has some pics up of his already and I post a bunch of them when I dropped mine off

    I can't wait we eat up some of those $10k mark-up mother fuckers around town in their brand new Challengers by 7 car lengths!!!

    You know they guys who aren't even enthusiasts but just dumb asses with money to spend.....the ones who throw on a drop in K&N filter and weld on some mufflers and say "yea i got mods".........

    Awesome, pics!! It's always exciting when new products come out and with the LX kits beginning to ship to our customers tomorrow, full force will be on perfecting the Jeep kit for release in a few months!

    Here's our Jeep Vortech thread (started May 14) where we'll keep all the production and release date info: http://www.srtconnection.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6304
