Thanks bro. I saw my baby at GTM today dropping off my HFC's. It was sad to see her without the SC in there. But it shouldn't be too much longer before it comes back from Vortech. Plus I got a chance to discuss a couple of goodies for my G will it is there.

Dang, Hex, it wasn't that long ago that were all smiles over your new Vortech set-up. Sorry to read about your current situation. However, it does appear that your G is in excellent hands. Hope you get your baby back in short time.

Thanks Andy. Yeah, everything was cool for a few months. Luckily it's just the SC which is covered under Vortech's warranty. So it's just a matter of being patient, as much as it sucks. lol!

Yours has a widebody kit on it, I think I saw one up near the front desk, had the Vegas plate with a little Vegas picture on one side of the plate.

Hope you get your ride back soon Hector. I know the feeling all too well of not having your ride at home. But having a warranty is awesome, I don't think I have much of a warranty on anything.

Only boosting around 9psi due to the motor only having 50 miles on it, will go back later this year and raise the boost to 14psi I hope and get the final numbers then but even at 9psi I have more power than when I was at 14psi...lol
