I didn't have to add a vortex to my blazer, it came factory installed.



Every time I get a little extra cash in my pocket it finds a way to make
me spend it on parts.

You don't mean this thing do you?


Because they don't do sheet.

The only vortec that we care about is the intake manifold on the Vortec engines, and they can't just be added to another engine.

First things first. Before even contemplating adding a supercharger, fix those issues and see what a difference it makes with the engine operation.
