How much boost and horsepower can a Vortech A-trim s/c support?

I've seen 450rwhp combos with 10# of boost and hci 5.0 ..they don't reccomend to spin it that high but other people have had good results ..it will be producing alot of heat at that point but hey..hp is hp

An A-trim is only good for 100 extra HP max on top of what the motor makes, an A-trim is physically the same size and uses the same case as a S-trim, back in day we were able to send A-trim to Vortech and have it upgraded to a S-trim for $700, but I don't know if they offer that still. The A-trim I am selling is not mine, selling it for a customer, it's not complete.

To upgrade all you would need to do is change the impeller and impeller bearings they sell them on eBay for a hundred or so.
