Default Vortech bumped my RWHP big time!

Installed a Vortech S/C & intercooler in my 05 Mustang GT Conv. The baseline pull was 275 rwhp. Mike Wilson @ Lone Star Performance did the tuning. He got it up to 437....I agreed that he should tone it down a little.....I'm pulling 417 rwhp...an increase of 142 rwhp....very happy with it.

Why would you want to tone it down?

437 is a little much to be pulling out of a bone stock 4.6 shortblock.

Not really, with a good conservative dyno tune, you can get 475+ RWHP without to much trouble.

Which vortech blower did you get?

Too much for bone stock? Not true! Kenne Bell delivers a consistent 443rwhp with over 400lbs fpt with their 2.6L twin screw S/C and custom tune. They stand behind their product and have engineered it very well based on the engine specs. Their are several other S/Cs out their that produce upwards of 440 rwhp without issue.

You should marry your S/C sherwood haha.

But he is right, Kenne Bell, Saleen, Whipple all have great products.

My guess is he has the Vortech Supercharger with the after cooler. They make around 420 HP on 8-9 PSI.
