definately not a roots, its a centri. but theres no way of really knowing if its a vortech or procharger, theres nothing to really give it away. If I had to guess, Id say procharger. Seems more common for our cars

Would be nice to find an engine pic of this thing...much easier to tell if its a Vortech or Procharger (just by looking at the blower case).

heard bad thing about vortech that it keeps break belt tensioner, belt slips, no power until 3k rpm like turbo, is it true or just misused by user??
