Vortech SC Question

My 2 cents-- if you want a reliable daily driver, you'll get all the power you need from a stock Vortech setup. The only mod I would recommend you do is swap out the spark plugs for a set of one step cooler coppers or Iridiums. Going with a larger exhaust will reduce back pressure to the point that your car will actually feel slower around town in the midrange of RPMs. The only improvement you'll notice will be close to redline--not something you're likely to do very much with a daily driver.
Tuning will optimize the setup but it's actually safest right out of the box because it's fairly rich during boost. I had 380 HP before any tuning and gained little from leaning things out--just better torque but not much. Any mod you do to increase HP and torque is only going to make the engine more failure prone.

Thx for the info, so its the safest out of the box; recommand i just install it the way it is with one step lower sparks right? ill be more than happy if i can get 380hp out of the box without adding/tuning anything else.
Also what does it mean when u said its fairly rich in boost? that mean theres more fuel being burned ? sorry, just new to the SC sector. thx again.

More air, more fuel, more power... as long as you're not in vacuum.

Thx guys, its been awhile since i posted anything in this thread. as of date, my mods are the 350Z H.Tech, INJEN SES exhaust, and New Rims.
G35 Coupe 04 AT with 16k now
I'm hoping to get a Vortech S/C next year once my income tax comes in...need to save save save
I read through the forum regarding Vortech S/C and in one of the thread mentioned about a tuner kit. Is that something Vortech includes when u purchase the S/C? If not, is it necessary?
My goal now is to hit around 380whp and around 350-360wtq. I want to reach the 400club but i don't want to change the internals or build a new motor, so i guess thats out of the question . My friend just got a V8 Firebird Trans AM. I need to be able to keep up with him. Knowing my friend though, he'll probably supercharge it or something and blow me away even more
Out of the box Vortech S/C will give me about 330whp est. running rich. but with a fine tune im hoping to hit 380whp and around 350-360wtq est...what do you guys think, with just an INJEN SES exhaust, you guys think i can hit my goal with a fine tune?
