Throttle8000, Max, which 95% of you dont' remember, was a former Moderator of this forum, and a former frequenter of the board in general.
He has a vortec on his 99 Si, it was sick! That think was nice, and it had that lovely blow off valve that made me horny when it blew.
Its a nice SC/thingy but for the money if you want more more more power, go with a turbo. But I see you want reliablilty, so, uh, whever everyone else says
