Re: Vortech is on!

no power pipe, just a filter, i like the look of the power pipe from afm, not a fan of just the filter but that is my opinion... and why just an s trim, if u were swaping y not a t-trim or something along that line and make some real power.lol

Reason for everything.

1. Don't have the money for a powerpipe, they suck cause there's no room for them and the filter gets dirty in 1000 miles.
This setup allows me to run with no restriction, huge airflow right to the filter and the filter doesn't get dirty.

2. I went from procharger to vortech and I didn't have the money to upgrade to a t trim nor was it necessary considering I have a stock lower end and can throw more than enough boost at it to throw a rod through the hood with the s trim.

Why would I buy a t trim when I can only run like 11 pounds of boost and that blower shines when running a lot of boost...I believe its actually less efficient than an s trim at lower boost levels.

are you going to get it tuned?

Its already tuned for the procharger so it shouldnt need a tune if its around the same psi....although I would like to get it on the dyno just to make sure its safe.

I added 6% more fuel at WOT just to make sure.

It was tuned for 11 psi before but I might be making more than that now, maybe 12.

ill tune it for you..... ill need you to sign a waiver first...

haha, I think ill pass...Like I said, it should be pretty damn close anyway, might need to add some fuel and pull some timing to make it safer if the boost gets higher than 11 psi

Re: Vortech is on!

Vortech should be more efficient, you are going to make more power now with the same psi (me thinks)

vortechs are even better with an intercooler.


get a power pipe lol

i wouldnt say less efficient, just a waste of money
to spend $$$$ on a blower when it wont see its full potential.
a S-Trim is enough.

Re: Vortech is on!

I think schmidt just likes having drag setups on his sn and blowing them up on the street and never being able to race them.. The streets are his home hahahaha. Sorry to be a jitbag Justin but shits gonna brake everywhere. Might as well see what your money has gotten you at the track. My dumbass spent 20k for a car that's 15 years old and any mod that gives you power is 2k each hahaha. Borrow Daves drs and Run your car sack.

i didnt mean to hurt ur feelings or make u feel like u had to explain i was just kidding... if i wasnt i would not have put the lol at the end of my statement. the only thing i was serious about is the fact i dont really like the look of just a filter there. but its a personal preference of mine and thats it. BTW hope u like it i know i regret buying my vortech.
