V-1 H/D Ti Supercharger Technology

Developed in Vortech's SAE J1723-compliant supercharger test cell, the Ti-series compressors achieve up to 78% peak adiabatic efficiency, reducing heat generation while maximizing usable airflow and power output.
The V-1 H/D Ti is capable of supporting applications up to approximately 950 horsepower with proper engine internals, fuel delivery, and professional tuning.
Performance Potential
