The Winter of 2009-2010 I planned my horsepower increase

I thought about a stroker, then about turbos, then maybe just new heads, and then about a supercharger. After much planning, plotting, and reading I finally went with the Vortech V3-SCi kit. It was their lowest cost system @ $1800 delivered. My reasons for the choice were Vortech's great history of quality products, price, no oil lines needed, and the power increase stories around the new SCi and Si blowers. My first task was the tear down and moving the alternator to the drivers side.
