    I looked at the Rotrex website, but didn't see a VehiCROSS application. What do you do... pick a supercharger made for a different ride, and throw it on your VX? 350hp sounds SWEET!!!
    The only thing we have to fear is fear itself... and zombies.

    I'm currently installing a C38-81 on my Legend, had ACT make a custom clutch for it to withstand the torque. For the Vehicross, I'd probably go with something a little smaller, b/c I'm shooting for 450-500hp on the Legend, and I don't think the internals of the 3.5 Isuzu engine could take that amount of boost.

    Yes, they are not vehicle-specific. I'd probably look @ the C30-94.

    Some obvious things I've learned in the past that improve hp include going to electric fans, pulleys, intake/exhaust. Since they don't make pulleys someone could always take there set off or buy another set of stock pulleys and take them to a machine shop and have a custom set made out of whatever metal he or she chooses. Fans are easy-ish. Intake and exhuast can be custom made. Its all in how how deep your pockets are.

    One question though. Why use small ones?
    The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable man persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on me.

    Don't Be Silly !!

    It should (needs) blend with the lines of the vehicle & be aesthetically pleasing
    Besides any bigger is just overkill!!!!
