The procharger has it's own internal oil supply while the vortec has to have an oil line drilled into the oil pan to feed it. i forget the reason why that isn't good; i wanna say it causes a pressure loss of some kind with the oil or something like that.

it isnt as good if you dont do it properly, a proper install and the vortech will be a safer setup as you will be circulating oil in and out rather than keeping the same hot oil in there.
a lot of people mess up the installs by being stupid and taping the oil line into the oil pan without removing the pan......i cannot express how retarded that is

Last I checked thats how vortech recommends doing it. Just greasing up the tap real good so it grabs the shavings. Thats one reason I went with a powerdyne for my S-10 before procharger even had a self contained unit.
