Got my Vortech'ed G back and...

The car sounds amazing! They put in on a dynapack there at the install shop and it put down 340rwhp (300ftlbs) to the wheels. The A/F was between 12.2 abd 13.09...not happy with this but it was expected since I have hi-flo cats and Injen exhaust. I have a tune day next Thursday and I plan to have him tune it based on getting the A/F in the high 11 range, even if it means I give up a few ponies. Any suggestions on how I can get my A/f down AND retain my ponies? I also plan to retard the timing 1 degree for every pound of boost above 2psi abd 2 degrees at the top (for a total of 8 degree at 8psi). This was recommended by many other Vortech owners.

One question I have is, should I be afraid to open it up with my current A/F numbers. I've been shifting at 3500rpm just to play it safe until I asked this question.


2 G or not 2 G, there's no question!

Congrats on your new Mod Randy......

Just please be careful running that thing until you get the whole fuel/air ratio set up right.....

Too many of the board members are having engine failure due to weak rods.......Remember this engine was set up for N/A...

Now with that all said.....Go out and have a blast....let us know your new track times.....I bet you knock off a couple tenths with that set up! j/k more like a couple seconds.....
Be safe.....

You should be ok, the only problem area is at full boost and high rpm. Just watch it until you hit Dyno. Did you get a copy of the R4 software and do you have the USB connection for adjusting Fuel and Timing..

Re: Got my Vortech'ed G back and...

I have the R4 software, but what USB connection do I need? Is it just a standard A to B or is it proprietary(sp?) What RPM do you think I should shift at until the tune? Can I go above 3500rpm? I haven't even felt the power of this thing cuz of the A/F thing. Or, are you saying, I can shift at around 4500-5000 but not to keep it there too long.

2 G or not 2 G, there's no question!
