We are working on it. We have another Automatic R&D vehicle coming in next week. I'll be honest, with SEMA coming and all kinds of things in high gear around here, it is still going to be a month or two...but it is happening. Getting your Automatic Transmission Vortech Systems through one of our Dealers that can provide you with a custom tune will always be a great option for anyone, but our production tuned version for the Automatics should be out right round the same time as CARB approval (which is also in process). Thanks to everyone for being patient.

@Brian@Vortech are the new intake pipes available now? What is the procedure for getting the replacement?

I second this question, isn't there a new cast peice for the upper pipe?

Here you go belt swap, something to waste 8 minutes on.

Got a look at the 'new' pipes with the latest kit we installed, looks hydroformed rather than cast. Nice pieces!

I wouldn't say it's worth the change though, the fabbed pipes are great.

Old fabbed pipe:

New pipe:

I will have a video/pics of new piece this week. But just a heads up that you may need to reset ECU and re-log/learn. Flow changes could effect fuel trims etc.

Had to do this Perrin from pre-production pipe to production pipe. The minor differences effected the tune.

So nobody is running this on an automatic yet?

LMAO - you guys crack me up. Nice video, as always! Would have been great to see the actual install video, but you gave me enough of the basic description to do it whenever it comes time. Definitely not replacing my non-racing belt for the racing belt at this point, but that packaging alone has convinced me of its superior attributes and I'll definitely look into it when it comes time for replacement.

I've swapped my belt already, super easy; I pulled the whole blower out and the entire process took about 30 minutes.

I think he was trying to point out that the 150TQ was at 2,500 engine rpm. It ends up climbing to 211. Great numbers!

And moto-east

I went with 92 WAWA gas because im a lazy fuck. Its PA's 91 octane, and finding 93 around here is about as easy as finding E85. (Pretty easy, but once again... I just like the easy of finding 92.)
