The Vortech blower for the S2000 will also give you 300HP+.
They all don't put out a lot of power. Just because the Vortech puts out decent power numbers doesn't mean anything. The power is in the upper part of the powerband in a very narrow section, so it is useless for daily driving.

Are you going to sit there and tell me that a laggy, power stealing $4000 Vortech supercharger is better than a turbo setup for half the price making more power and having boost come on earlier?
