Hood holder for Vortech
 
I'm having a little issue. Does any body have a picture of the hood stand in the new holder for the Vortech Super charger.

Mine doesn't seem to work.

jdzumwalt 03-02-2013 01:19 PM

Figured it out my GC camber plates get in the way

jdzumwalt 03-02-2013 01:20 PM

Time to cut and weld

Are you talking about to hold the prop stick down?

When it smells like a duck, sounds like a duck and behaves like a duck....


I have smelled it since day one... Joined same day Gem was banned, first two days he had something like 30 posts, has very lighlty and discretely favored Vortech.... Then, I had read him recently asking about getting price on Vortech.. and then all of a sudden he has the rod in the position Vortech suggests... and GC suspension.. not to mention a white car.... (wink, wink)


BUT HEY, I am probably Wrong!!

thats the plan!
but really the holder they supply works fine with the GC plates, it touches, but snaps in and works as designed.

I like Gem. He gave us the tip on Pentosin to fix our whack ass 6 speeds.

I completely agree. I haven't really gone into the FI threads since. Not nearly as interesting any more.

True. Back on track. If the picture didn't help you I can take one today I have the cussco strut bar on my car and it is a extremally tight fit I bent the prop rod a little so it works better. Is that the last part you have to install?

2forme 03-03-2013 12:55 PM

If you guys want, I can just start randomly arguing with myself?

Vortech argues with themselves better. Their statements are linear in delivery, have been stress tested in the az desert, and have that great SC whine to them.

But what company are you going to be a cheerleader for?

Coheed 03-03-2013 02:33 PM

Speaking of hood prop... I'm glad I got the grimmspeed lift support kit.

I suggest Vortech/Perrin for old times sake.

jdzumwalt 03-04-2013 12:31 AM

Picture did help a bit I skipped putting in the window washer fluid and the hood prop but I'll get back on it this week. Just got back for the desert test the race truck.

Hi there Sportguy

hopefully, the forum will tolerate members who are here to offer up their help genuinely:

I only posted the pictures to show its a non issue with the hood prop, not feed any drama or fuel any fires seems many folks here seem to seek here beyond modding cars..

If a member is

-not trying to sell or persuade others
-non offensive in their posts or language or intent
-kind in both thought and expression
-helpful towards others
-respectful
-supportive
-fun to exchange posts with
-dedicated to the development of our platform
-obey forum etiquette and rules

hopefully there will be no trouble
thank you

Sorry, you missed the joke. This was far from a knock at you guys, but more a reference to GMookher, and a little jab at him. Keep up the good work!

Thanks
