RE: Just ordered a Vortech S/C
Congrats on getting the blower! You'll love the new power.
I hate to sour the moment for you, but, I suggest you stay out of boost until you get your car tuned on the dyno. I know you loaded the Diablo Sport tune, but those tunes are well know for being bad. It's more critical to get a good tune when dealing with FI. If it's off, you could easily hurt your motor. I know this sours the moment a bit for you, but it would be a lot more sour if you hurt your motor.[sm=gears.gif]
But that's just my suggestion/advice, and what I'd do if it were my car.I'd hate to see you hurt your motor because of that tune. After the tune, drive it how it's meant to be driven

For the most part yes. It hauls ****. But after this sat, with the custom tune, it will move out better. I will probably not hit the track this year, but next spring, I hope to break into the 11's. We should all meet up and have our own kind of cruise, and do some light to light racing. Should be fun. Let me know if you want to put something together doodad.

Finally got my Vortech installed. The guy was awesome. He did a fantastic job. I will have some pics of it posted up a bit later today. Hopefully, in the next week or two, I will have a dyno sheet to post up. The S/C sounds so good. When you start it, you get that beautiful whistle! When you start to drive, you hear that whistle get louder. I love the way the car drives now, and the sound of the vortech. You have to turn TCS off, otherwise when you go full throttle, the TCS will kick in, because in 2nd and 3rd, the tires screech and then in 3rd chirp a bit. On the way home, an RX-8 tried messing with me, and after I hit it, he disappeared in a matter of seconds. Then a Merceds CLK 500 tried his luck, and I put bus lengths on him. I love this thing guys. The cool thing about the kit was, vortech included a diablo sport tuner with a custom tune in it. It alsoincluded a vortech intake kit. I'll make sure I get some vids of the S/C and some pics for you guys. Also, again, I'll do my best to get some dyno's in. Thanks for reading guys!

RE: Just ordered a Vortech S/C
totally. Except that my intake filter has a casing around it. Do you feel like cruising on Sat. night? After my tune that night, I should be back from Stillman Valley by about 3. Let me know Erik.

Some are duplicates but I'm too lazy to go back.

RE: Just ordered a Vortech S/C
What I love the most, is whenever you start to accelarate, has that nice whistle. After that it is pretty quiet, unless I put it down. Thanks Erik, if it weren't for you, I would have went a different route on an S/C, you can't go wrong with this, hell, 500 HP for under 4K, can't beat it. Oh, when I see you, I'll try and remeber to give you some vortech supercharger stickers. I have two blue and two silver. We could put them on the rear side windows. Of course, there goes the idea of being a sleeper, but then again, that could fool people as well.
