Getting Ready to Install a Vortech V3, have some questions
#11
Great thanks guys! I am actually going to be running the Vortech tune, at least for a while. The car has 85k miles on it so I don't want to push it to hard and figure the vortech tune should be sufficient.... at least for now.

The Vortech tune should be more than enough power
I was running a Brenspeed tune with great results.. even better with their 93 octane tune.

Are you running an air to air or air/water set up??

I bought a Novi 2200Sl and ordered Brisk 1 range cooler plugs from Brenspeed.

Installed the plugs a week before blower install. I was waiting on my Brenspeed tune to be made and wanted to be sure I didnt have any issues removing the stock plugs. Car drove just fine.
But I agree on changing the Brisk plugs probably every 20k. Brenspeed also recommended running the Brisk.

Ok thanks red96v6! I plan on doing the spark plug change next weekend and the install on the 27th-28th. I have my fingers cross that the plugs were replaced to TSB before I purchased the car (purchased it used with 60K miles).

From dead cold, I started my car and let it run a minute, minute and a half, then shut it off. Removed the COPs and sprayed some PB Blaster and SeaFoam on the plugs. Loosened each one a little bit and then sprayed more SeaFoam and let it soak a minute. Went back and removed them one by one. They all screamed coming out, but did come out in one piece.

That's exactly what I plan on doing, I think I have read ever post and the TSB 40 times! I have the removal tool coming in case I need it and will pick up some plugs shortly. I am using my father's shop to do the installation of the supercharger on a weekend (they are not open on weekends) so I wanted to make sure I got everything done in time to be out on Sunday. My worry was if I tried to do the spark plug change +supercharger install I would be held up to long on the spark plug removal leaving me with 1 day for the rest, wanted a little more time in case I needed it.

Don't get the removal tool from the Ford TSB. It's a pain in the ***. Lisle 65600 is the way to go
I was changing plugs for routine maintenance and had 3 break off on me. If you use the ford rotunda tool its >1hr per plug (to let the loctite harden) and only comes with 3 "prongs"... nad it didn't work
The 65600 is maybe 8 mins tops per cylinder, there is even several youtube videos of it. Best of luck with all of it and let us see the website when you finish posting the install!
