Waiting with baited breath.......

I am based in the UK, and have the basic Vortech kit at present. I am currently in the process of buying all the supportig products for the car to run the supercharger.

So the above is great and very informative

Sideways, what else do you think will take for you to break the 500 rwhp barrier?

We talked about that today.

I need to increase injector size to 1000cc, add the inline Baush booster pump, and add some octane. A good header would add to the picture too. With the 3.9 inch pulley changed out to 3.8 it is real close.

A single exhaust would be worth a few extra hp. Would you ever consider that option? How loud are those things?

Motorklasse makes a cover for the AP1 bumper to eliminate the exit that isn't used.

Wow, impressive numbers, your da man for supercharged S2k!!!

What IAT numbers do you see between 6 and 9k at which ambient temps?

Looking forward to see you crack the 500+ club on the 3.8 inch pulley

Thanks.

IATs on a warm 80 degree Spring day ranged up to 121 degrees f. It's running nice and cool with no hint of knock using pump gas.

Thumbs up


Hi Folks,

As mentioned above I too have a Vortech Supercharger here in the UK, there is not alot of people running them, and even fewer people you can talk to who know what they are on about.

So I have the following to put onto the car:-
Vortech S/C V2
AEM ESM - ECU
J's Racing headers
750cc Injectors


Things already on the car:-
Amuse Dual Exhuast
Berk De-cat pipe


Things I'm considering on getting before adding S/C to Car:-
Mini Krankvents ?
NGK 3330 spark plugs ?
Thinking of a 4" Pulley? (to upgrade from the 4.5" I have at present).

So if anyone has advice or other considerations they think I should be thinking about please pipe up and say.

If you have any web links, I can look at let me know also please

Thanks
Kiwi
