alright so, my car was the test car for vortech on a dbw application. i got the car back and it had 290whp . vortech used an aem f/ic and 55lb injectors for the dbw application. of course 3 months later i was looking for more power, so i did some research and ended up at a shop called autowave in huntington( im sure a good few of you have heard of them) they used a stand alone aem with a special harness for the dbw( i was a little worried about reliability and functionality at first but it works way better than a F/IC or vafc), and ran 9lb of boost. My car runs and idles much smoother after i got it tuned from autowave, than the stock vortech(and now i am making 70 more whp, thats 360whp total ). i was very impressed with autowave, shane and mike are top notch. this is the only place i will take my s2k. hopefully ill see some other dbw's boosted soon.

 

do you have a permanent CEL? did you lose VSA?

nice numbers

 

yes to both, thats the only draw back is the cel, but i didnt like vsa i always generally had it off anyway

 

cool

im also dbw boosted but mild turbo set up (greddy)

 

nice

 

I like

 

Can't get a tune any better then from Autowave And that 360whp is on dynamics too.

 

Very cool, just wondering today when a DBW Vortec would be available. Nice numbers for a start, and what kind of torque are you putting down?
Is there any word when this DBW kit might become available to the public?

 

no real word yet, i got mine about 9 months ago from the vortech factory and they installed it. they dont do that for the public though. if you lived in oc id say go to autowave

 

Vortech going to release a kit soon.
