Hey guys im looking to buy a vortech tuning kit this fall but have recentely came across a guy selling some parts that i think my help. Wondering if this is a good buy.

Mrev2(id buy regardless)
Alphawerks Headers
Utec

All parts off a 350.

for 1000 dollars. Also he said hed throw in some resonated test pipes if i took the other 3 items.

I think it seems like a fairly good deal, although i will admit i dont know much about the utec. Is there a certain one i need or are they all the same and i just get different software for it somewhere?

Any help would be great!

 

all utecs are the same, even the software

do your research on the prices, sounds ok though. def not a steal

 

Oh yah this is canadian so about 800 i guess american.

 

not a bad deal seeing as how the parts new would be around $1900, see if he'll go lower though.

MREV new is ~$400
UTEC new is ~$900
Alpha headers new are ~$600, but I think they are discontinued.

Now, these are new prices. I've seen MREV's here for $300, Utecs for $500, and used headers are all over the charts depending on what you get.

EDIT: Headers are a PITA to install. Get ready for some cut knuckles and bruises.

 

Not a bad deal at all. If you are going Vortech later and want headers now I say get them. As for the UTEC, it is a great tool to have but I would hold off on any tune until you boost it. N/A gains from a tune are not that high and if you are going to change in 6 months or so just sit on it.

 

Ya i didnt plan on installing the UTEC until i got the vortech anyways. Are alphawerks headers any good? Ive researched a bit and they seem to be after Strupp and Nismo, is this fairly accurate?

 

I hate Utec

 

Care to explain why? Most of the posts ive read say its the way to go with Vortech. Please let me in on why you hate?

 

It is good deal. But it is really depends on condition

 

alphawerks were one of the best back in the day, they got great gain.

think that and the crawfords are the best you can get

 

I had a set of alphawerks and i liked them. I got mine ceramic coated but i paid 1500 cdn just for headers and coating. Thats a awesome deal your getting. A utec is good, i gained 26 whp when my car was N/A.
