I don't but when I did my tube adjustment, I was questions just how tight was too tight as that piece distorted. My guess is over tightening and heat.

It does matter on the designs that wrap up around the front of the engine like the nameless EL header.

The koyo radiator is what I'm worries about since its thicker than oem and header such as p and l is super close to the shroud without the koyo

Why now on Vortech web site there is info that its only for mechanical transmission? I have auto and was planning to by Vortech. Now don't know what to do?!

Buy the kit from @Visconti or Perrin or several other tuners on here as they support auto trans in their tune

After seeing all the install issues Dezoris has had with his Vortech kit, I highly doubt I'll be going Vortech (was originally my top pick in Forced Induction). Are there any plans to "simplify" the install of this kit, and perhaps fix the poor documentation? One of the major advantages of a supercharger to me (over a turbo) is the easy install, but the install actually looks just as involved (if not more) than some turbos I've seen on youtube.
