RE: Vortech #'s are in!!

those #'s are pretty good...i bet you gain 40hp just from the PI itake kit you will be adding especially over 4000rpms.

Welli know that having an auto makes you lose a whopping 1-2% of power... as far as the PI stuff i duno about all that

. The only sn95 i have ever worked on was a cobra.

its more like 6-8%

you would gain that on a stock NPI...i've seen guys gain 30-50hp when swapping pi intakes on already blown npi's...Our NPI intake really is that bad.
your #'s are pretty good though, when my neighbor put his Vortech on his stock 97 he barely cracked 250rwhp on 6-7psi but he was stock except the blower. After he added some Fox Lake heads/blower cams and PI intake he was over 420rwhp.

RE: Vortech #'s are in!!

if you do the PI swap, you're gonna have to cut the boost down to 6psi,or don't go any higher than 8psi.

RE: Vortech #'s are in!!

thanks for the compliments!!

Sorry guys i can't post the dvd b/c my computer isn't dvd capable...but i got my car back and absolutely love it...they did a great job. And nothing was wrong with the car, nothing with the MAF...he told my dad that it wasn't even necessary to get the bigger MAF, but i told him my future plans so i would have needed to gotten it sooner or later...Next up PI Intake and Paxton A/A!!
