All About Boost and Vortech Superchargers
Vortech and Paxton Superchargers @ Fabulous Fords Forever 2018...
For Ford fans, one Sunday a year sees Buena Park, CA turn into their compulsory must-visit destination. Blue Oval enthusiasts from all over the country come out for the Fabulous Fords Forever event at Knott's Berry Farm. Whether your preference is cars or trucks, classic or late model, carbureted or EFI, there are plenty of them to come and check out at this event. Here are just some of the Vortech and Paxton Supercharged highlights that we found while walking around the show.It comes as no surprise that the Vortech and Paxton Superchargers booth was one of the most popular spots at the show. Helping you learn about how efficient boost from a Vortech or Paxton Supercharger can benefit your ride is our specialty, and what we love to do.
JBA Speed Shop out of San Diego brought these gorgeous Vortech/JBA Supercharged Shelby GT350s to park with us in the Vortech booth. While some other supercharger brands have had multiple issues with their systems for the GT350, that is absolutely not the case with the efficient boost from a Vortech Supercharger. These 2 cars have over 20,000 and over 30,000 miles on them (respectively), with a large part of both of those being clocked while racing on the track, and have had absolutely no issues whatsoever. Contact JBA Speed Shop for your Vortech/JBA GT350 Supercharging System today.
Another partner we were lucky enough to have come and park with us in our booth are the Panther performance specialists at ADTR. These guys are the place to go to for parts and Supercharging Systems for Crown Victorias, Grand Marquis, Towncars, and Marauders. If you have one of these cars, you need to go to ADTR.net.
Our friend Jay from Mustang Depot brought out his amazing Sinister 65 Mustang all the way from Las Vegas to park with us in the Paxton booth. We've been admiring this car for years, so we were extra excited to be able to feature the car in our own booth this year. Don't forget to go to MustangDepot.com for anything you need for your Mustang, from 1964-2018.
Debuting at the Fabulous Fords show was the new look of the widebody S550 from @libertywalkmustang. What used to be Race Red has been replaced by a beautiful gloss grey wrap from Impressive Wrap. Sitting low and wide, this S550 looks mean and now embodies the image of street shark. Cue the theme to Jaws.
One of TWO Supercharged 2018 Mustang GTs in our booth this year, this beautiful Lightning Blue Performance Package GT belongs to Mike from @hardcorestangs. Mike has big plans for this car, and it has only just begun its modifications. Stay tuned to his IG to see this car as it progresses.
One of the crowd favorites was definitely @miss_midnight_maverick's Vortech V-1 S-Trim Supercharged 9 second street car. We appreciate seeing one of these cars built right, and judging by the amount of people gathered around the car all day long, we aren't the only ones!
Mike @s197mike07 and his Screaming Yellow 3V S197 GT came out to park with us in the Vortech booth. Mike's setup features a V-3 Si Supercharger and the Vortech/Paxton massive air/air charge cooler setup, which works great for him when he takes his car out to the track on weekends for some open track racing.
This Vortech V-1 Supercharged and Bob Kurgan tuned '93 Cobra owned by @hss_svt was at the entrance to the snake pit, and was looking pretty mean. The dyno sheet shows the car making 483rwhp & 473rwtq.
We spotted Stephanie @rawr_5oh's bagged & boosted S550 GT looking great, as usual. Special thanks and photo credit to Gaeb @ Venom Photoworx for the excellent shots!
@boosted_newedge's 2002 Mustang GT features a Paxton NOVI 2200SL Supercharger and air/air charge cooler, and good supporting mods to make his car both fast and functional.
You may recognize Patrick @fearthevert's convertible Fox from the previous year's Vortech/Paxton booth at Fabulous Fords. Patrick has continued to modify the car, and the Paxton NOVI 1200SL supercharged and Vortech/Maxflow air/water charge cooled setup looks excellent in that engine bay.
Bright red, bagged, and boosted, @justalow5.0's Paxton NOVI 2200SL Supercharged 2014 Race Red Mustang GT grabbed our attention from quite a distance.
Jose @garagesalerawesome brought out his V-3 Si Supercharged Competition Orange 2015 GT. Many of you will recognize this S550, as it has been featured in many of our ads over the last few years. However, it is wearing new shoes this time around, courtesy of Velgen Wheels.
It is always awesome seeing an original Vortech Supercharged Saleen S351 Mustang.

The other 2018 Mustang GT from the Vortech booth is this Magnetic Grey Performance Pack car, featuring a Black Finish Vortech V-3 Si Supercharger. The 2018 Mustang Systems are available in Satin, Polished, and Black, to match whatever your underhood appearance is your preference.
This flamed Fox Body LX Hatch is supercharged with a Vortech V-2 Si Supercharger and a Vortech/Maxflow air/water Charge Cooler.
@carbondriven's widebody targa top S550 GT never fails to get massive attention everywhere it stops, but it is much harder to catch while it's moving thanks to the Vortech V-3 Si Supercharger System under the hood.
This clean LX Notchback had a polished Vortech V-1 Ti unit under the hood providing the boost.
Something about seeing a Bullitt Mustang in the original Dark Highland Green just feels right. This 2001 model was sporting a Satin Finish Vortech V-2 S-Trim non-cooled system.

This Red LX Notchback Mustang from @gearheads213 was ready to make some power with a Vortech V-1 Supercharger and Mondo Bypass Valve under the hood.

Tom @gator_fontech's Paxton NOVI 2200 Supercharged and Air/Air Charge cooled Legend Lime 3V S197 convertible is nicknamed "Gator".

Sergio and Jimmy from Vortech enjoying the show.
Even though it seems that someone lost their monkey at the show, he doesn't seem to mind...he's happy as ever just hanging around all the awesome Fords at the show. We hope you enjoyed the show as much as he did (and we did). See you again next year!
