Vortec is a trademarked name for a line of small block engines for General Motorstrucks. The name first appeared in a 1984 advertisement for the 1985 model year 4.3 L V6 that used 'vortex technology' to create a vortex inside the combustion chamber, creating a better air/fuel atomization. Now it is used on a wide range of engines. Modern Vortec engines are named for their approximate displacement in cubic centimetres.

Jul 26, 2017 60% showdown A showdown of some of the hottest mechanical keyboards to own. The Anne Pro and Vortex’s Pok3r (Poker 3) are some of the most well known 60% mechanical keyboards. And rightly so, they’re both excellent keyboards for their purposes. That’s where both keyboards start to differ in terms of their features. However, Vortex is working on a web-based configurator called MPC for their keyboards. See the pictures above for example layouts of their other two keyboard lines (Poker and CORE) for a first impression on how it would look, and it would be similar for the Race 3 as well.
