Prochargers can make great power and can be very reliable there is just alot more guesswork and ultimatley money spent by the customer to make it right. Accessible Technology, prochargers parent company, does not have the best tech support in the world either, you can always get someone on the phone but they don't ussualy have the first clue what they are talking about and wouldn't know what stoitametric ratio means to save their life. If you call Vortech Marine tech support they will give you Bob Endress's personal cell phone number that he will answer day or night and not hang up until you have the problem solved. He will drive or fly to youy home to fix the problem if neccesary, I have had nothing but great dealings with him and I don't know anyone who feels diffrently. Bottom line is that you are going to spend alot more money making a procharger make the same reliable power as a Vortech.

Isn't Arizona Speed and Marine pushing the Vortech over the ProCharger?

I have enough low end torque to eat stock Bravo's as it is. I wanted top speed over any other performance upgrade.

What ya think????????

All I need is 13-14 mph more and I am at one goal in life before I croak.

I just got off the phone with Mark. He said he likes the Vortech over the Procharger also.He said it comes in like the Whipple and makes repetible pulls on the dyno. I belive thats what RTech uses also.I guess it depend on what ya want to speed ?
