Some of the issues I've noticed with the vortech
1) their tuning is a bit questionable... especially when you consider guys are blowing their engines, and sending chips back for 5-6 reflashes for a good tune. And the kit does accentuate stock quirks (open idle control = climbing/hanging revs between shifts).
2) the parts list isn't 100% perfect. You will have problems with the low pressure powersteering hose (19mm vs the stock 18mm)... and need to buy a bottle or two of locktite to make sure everything stays snug
3) airfilter location..hasn't caused me any grief yet, but it's on my list to move it.
4) installation is a BITCH!.. .especially with the HO kit.
If you want something simple, bolt on, clean, and proven to run for miles upon miles, get the JRSC for the SVT.. you'll be pleasantly happy with the results. Not necessarily monster power, but it's really nice (I've ridden in bluetoy's car..it's niiiiiice)...
