What's this???

 

Nice, where did you get it installed? Did you get it tuned yet? Impressions?

 

I had it done at Vortech. They tuned it.

 

Sweet. Must be nice to have a carb legal FI kit.

 

Yeah, but the BOV is no joke!! I need to quiet it down a bit.

 

lucky, I'm still trying to get mine together. Congrats and where's the numbers? How much did vortech charge and did u get any gauges installed or just the blower?

 

congrats on getting your car back, enjoy your new "toy" that came along with it.

 

No gauges. As for the price I cant discuss that sorry. They used my car to develope the 06 kit. Also my car is going to be a demo vehicle for the company I work for (Scosche), Vortech is one of my sponsors.

 

Damn, the car gods must love u, lol. Did they at least tell u the hp/tq?

 

Gained 90HP and 50LBS ATW

 

that doesnt help much. I need a number like 370.

I'm assume they didnt give u dyno and just installed the sc with ss box with no tuning and called it a day.

 

Only 90Hp gain from a SC? Might as well gotten a Stillen SC with the warranty then. I dont think they tuned it at all, or must be a crappy tune to only gain 90HP.

 

what can u expect hes got an AT. his gains are pretty typical.

 

First of all they did Dyno it, but Vortech's Dyno is notoriusly stingy. Stck the car did 189HP/189TQ after it did 279HP/249TQ at the wheels. The stock numbers were what VT expected, they said a Dyno jet would've shown about 230 or so stock.
Second, this is the stock VT kit. I'm not looking to change pullies or increase boost to dangerous levels. I drive 100 miles a day RT so I need my reliability.

This is 90HP at the wheels on a tough Dyno so no, it's not a "crappy" tune and no, it's not less than I should expect.

 

Here's some car manufacturer style fuzzy math for people that like numbers:

HP on VT Dyno = 189
Ave. HP on Dynojet for stock AT= 220

189HP to 220HP = 16% diff (189 + 16% = 219.24)

Dynojet HP = 220
Rated HP = 280
220HP(DJ) to 280HP(R) = 27% diff (220 + 27% = 279.4)

So..
My VT SC Dyno = 279
279HP (VT) + 16% = 324HP ATW Dynojet
324HP (DJ) + 27% = 411HP Rated

So my rated HP went from 280HP - 411HP

What does all this mean? Nothing... My car is just much stronger than before so there :P
