Vortech install this week! Finally back on track...

sanchezcruz_20 · May 5, 2009

Dropped the car off for the install on Monday. Should have dyno numbers and news by the end of the week. I'm having the shop do a pre- and post-install dyno pull for comparison. The shop that's doing the install is local, check 'em out here: http://www.bigshotdyno.com/

Just to clarify from my original plans... the head unit is a Vortech V1 S-trim. I'm hoping to force about 8-10psi into her. I got a set of used injectors off an 04 Cobra, 39#'s I believe. Going with a Holley 255lph fuel pump, NGK TR6 plugs and a Diablosport MAF.ia to allow the stock MAF unit to read the new flow it'll be forced to engulf.

Just excited to let you guys know, finally getting this thing blown! If anybody recalls, it's been a long, arduous journey:

The car should be complete by this weekend. Hopefully I'll have some pictures, dyno sheets, maybe even some video of the dynotuning itself. I'll keep you posted.

But Fcuk Customer service! I've been calling, Emailing and PMing those tards for two weeks. And that's not the first time they've ignored me. I'm tried of the Hype they get. If they're so good, they have them return a phone call once in a while. I think I've heard Rhonda say, "Tims on the Dyno, I'll have him call you back when he's done" 30 times.

Damn sorry dude i know they have done quite a few of my friends cars. That was a while ago have you started posting on there Forum ???

Heck I've seen tons of cars come from there and tuned to a T and I would have driven from Michigan to have them tune my car but they just can't return a phone call, lol. There loss, i guess.

Win · May 5, 2009

Damn that's sad to hear. I know they had a attempted break in a month or so ago and the PIT got a hold of the person's leg as they were trying to scale the fence.

So I spoke too soon, lol. After two weeks of calling, emailing and PM's I got a reply. Unfortunately he didn't answer all of my questions and directed me to Rhonda. LOL

Win · May 5, 2009

Well i do know they have been really busy with Training some new Shepard's.

Came recommended from LaSota Racing that did my original installs and tune. Rob has a new job, and Don has moved, so they are no longer doing installs or tunes in the area, for right now. I really respected what Rob had to say, and always treated me great. So they came recomended. Don LaSota does tuning there from time to time, maybe that had something to do with it.

I had thought I might try Akron Horsepower which is highly advertised in the area, but was told by two different people to not go there.

I am a lil far from Cincy now, I'm almost in Cleveland. No longer in Delaware Ohio, which would've been closer.

Win · May 6, 2009

Better get some vids of that thing and some pics of it when it gets done.

sanchezcruz_20 · May 6, 2009

Install is complete. Dynotuning tomorrow (Thursday). I will be present for the tuning session with video capturing device in hand! Wish me luck, hoping for 350rwhp+

BlkoutGT · May 6, 2009

Sorry to thread jack a lil, but... sxynerd have you ever heard of Alternative auto? it would be alot closer and lidio does really good work.

big shot dyno are good guys, ive seen a lot of cars come from there, akron horsepower were the top mustang tuners around, but they were expensive and slow at getting cars done, thats probably why they closed down, but the cars were perfect when they got done with them

blown98gt · May 7, 2009

I think Modular depot is bigger than Akron Hp they are in Ohio but technically in Newport, Ky
that specialize in Modular motors and really are great at what they do

sanchezcruz_20 · May 12, 2009

Well now that I have some time after getting the car back and having fun with her after the install I have pics/vids/images and pre-install dyno charts for everyones enjoyment. It will be a couple days getting everything on that I want to, but it will give us something to look forward...or at least me.
