    Well Techco hasn't/might not engineer a supercharger for the Jeeps. Plus who can say no to a great price and great product from Vortech.

    Why would you need to engineer a different supercharger for the same engine..?

    Not sure why everybody praises techco over Vortech.

    I'm confident the Vortech will not only be easier on the tranny and transfer case but it will also perform better and more efficient

    Paul they are 2 different blowers. Vortech is a centrifical and the Techco is a twin screw. Yes the Vortech will be easier on the tranny as it doesnt build alot of boost low. However in the jeeps with very little traction issues(or in a lx with the right rear end) the Techco makes its boost faster and more low end torque. Torque is what moves you HP is what keeps you going. I still believe that the Vortech makes a great freeway car but the Techco should be a monster if you have traction under 100. I think if you were to compare 2 cars with the only diff being the blowers I would bet the Vortech is playing catchup till near the 1/4 but then pulling out. The top end of 3rd pulls like a freight train for me currently.

    This all leads to what do you prefer in your choice of blowers. Do you like peak numbers and a freeway monster or do you want something with stump pulling TQ.

    I can say that I made 507/497(8psi) on Techco's dyno a few weeks ago with my tune not finished. However their tweaked kit(not the public release yet 6psi) made 40 ft tq more then me up until 3750...then mine took over and put almost 30 at the top. There still is more in my tune from what my tuner and what the guys at techco said.

    IMHO it all comes down to personal choice and what you want from your ride.

    Damn looks like I'm gonna have to pick up ANOTHER Jeep and throw a whipple or techco on to have the best of both worlds!

    Looks like I have some time before they even start on the jeeps

    Very well said John.

    And yea, mine is a monster in the higher RPM level. lol It is no slouch down low, but when the boost kicks in, hold the F on. haha
