How many supercharged VX's are there?

How many supercharged VX's out there? Supercharged Isuzu's? If there's enough of us, maybe we can convince Alpine Developments to get that stage II kit developed . . .

Mine is SC... MachineVX they offer a 5psi pulley, I have that installed not sure if you have that or not. But I would love a Stage 2 upgrade... but I know we are taxing out the tranny already with this much HP. I believe that 285hp is about what the transmission can handle. We need a ECU upgrade for better fuel maps and such also.

I've sold over 50 kits and it is unlikely that Alpine will produce a Stage II kit anytime in the near future. Featherfoot had been working on a better alternative that could actually be better and safer than a Stage II kit.

The 4L30E is technically a light duty transmission and has historically been used in vehicles with less HP and torque (<3.0L) than ours (Catera 192lb.-ft, small BMWs. etc) and is rated at a maximum of 258lb.-ft if I recall (GM no longer lists it on their site) and we are at or above that with a 5 PSI kit.

I have not been able to find anyone who can beef up the 4L30E so unless you are wiling to perform a tranny transplant, I would not be concerned with a Stage II kit - Stage I is still a LOT of fun, the way the VX should have shipped from the factory while maintaining reliability.

I have just gotten word that Comp Cams has bought all of the electrical components from Street & Performance Electronics and I have not been able to establish a point of contact with them.

Until I do our tuner is in limbo (that translate to in the toilet).

Sorry!!

I would like to know the answer to this as well.
I've been debating the SC vs. Aurora engine swap for a few days.
Still limited by the 4L30E trans...

My '99 VX has the Alpine S/C with the 5 PSI pulley installed. Love it!!! Only had one glitch with the S/C, had to have it overhauled by Magnuson. Took the needle bearings out on the rotors. They rebuilt the S/C (everything except the housings) and no problems since. Actually seems to run better since the rebuild.

How much for the rebuild????
