Hey guys hows it going? I have basicly done everything i can do to a NA engine as far as basic bolts on go, except headers. I have new 19" rims and tires on the way with a BBK. I am looking to go FI now and i am leaning towards the vortech SC kit. I am looking to put down around 380-400 HP. I know the kit said it puts out around 415 hp..is that to the wheels?

I want a safe build i dont want to spare any expenises and end up with a blown motor. I would like it if you guys could tell me everything i need to do to run a safe 380-400hp kit. I know mostly what i need, but i want to make sure. So if you guys can make me a list of what i need that would be awesome.

The 415 advertised is to the crank w/ the 3.33 pulley because if you look at that quote they are basing the increase off of 287 which was the crank HP of the earlier "G's"

I love my Vortech kit and have had no problems in 10K miles on my 65K mile stock engine.

I have the 3.12 pulley with the mods listed below and am putting down 402 to the rear wheels.

If you are looking at 380 - 400 whp you will not be disapointed in the Vortech with the 3.12 pulley.

 

real quick question.. why a supercharge as apposed to a turbo?

arnt superchargers generally based towards V8 engines, turbos for V6 engines?

thanks

 

There is no criteria that would suggest a SC is only for V8"s and turbos for V6's. I like SC systems for the fact that they are much less expensive to purchase and install.

 

lol
call me dude
this is so funny i saw this post

 

if you get turbo we are no longer friends.....

 

lol
why cause ill beat you down the track
lol im not doin it anymore the sensible side and friends won lol

 

I'm going to be selling my polished full-vortech kit here pretty soon, once it's uninstalled. Its only been on the car for under 3000 miles. Let me know.
