You guys need more vids I'm salavating to get my kit on but since I just spent 500 on pump and injectors and my next check is for car payment insurance. I have to wait awhile to puty kit on you guys should post more vids while I wait.

Man, I meant to, but this last trip became an extended dyno day for me with over 15 pulls
The reason I dont shoot video up by me is it would be useless to you all
even ALL my data is up at 1500feet, so you have to believe the kit will make even more power than I am making at sea level...

Jeff already holds the record at the compressors spin limit-see his blog, and it did require a pulley smaller than your 3 and 1/8..FYI

Again making alot more power than me may be possible if youre tuning for just max power.

I'm tuning to spend the day at redline, so my shits often conservative. we already know we can do 300whp and 236 wheel TQ.ON STOCK FUEL SYSTEM

He, also tends to err on the conservative side, so it way well be that more peak hp/tq can be extracted,

eager to see how you do. Feel free to post up your own thread with results but for sure, keep me, and us, updated here, and again, I congratulate you and applaud your enthusiasm! making more and more power with this kit is such a joy with how smoooooth the power delivery is!

Got my "new" improved blower back today, installed it and did some data logging, and got Jeff to tweak my maps. HUGE difference from the original kit, HUGE!!! I am very satisfied and that's only with the factory 9psi pulley. Can't wait to crank it up!!!

Gem, please keep in mind Perrin's dyno is a dynapack. They read a bit higher than dynojets and mustang dynos which is what most people are familiar with when quote whp numbers.

I dont always see Jeff put on as much timing as we could possibly do for "internet dyno" sake, sometimes he will add, we make power, we feel good,then we subtract a hair for my 'working dog' tune vs my testing tunes.

Then he tells me what tune I should run at the track, ie the ones he has done the most refinement on, its not always the tune I made the most power with.

remember thats why I'm a tester and sure now he is shipping the 9psi tune, that appears 'done'. I know I can track that one.

We both understand the track tune needs to be refined, so I dont have a green light YET on my 10psi tune from him, so yeah we make power with it, but I need to wait till he says I can go play.

He's explored where things still make alot of power, and he sends me stuff to see if it knocks, sometimes it does and we dial it in.

This becomes an ongoing circular process. Example, the tune I am 'authorized to run at the track' is pulled back a hair from what I run on the street by a hair. I have revisions I am not sure he is ready to publish, so he and I work on tune revision, alot. He's a stickler for safety. He plans to get me a refreshed tune soon, and likely that will become his 3.33/10psi tune, but its never done in a rush so I always need to try and stay patient! I realize thats for my own good. He has alot of experience with our car, so I am sometimes weary of going to a alternate shop that hasnt had the time he's had with my kit.

I was just messin with ya Gem, and I am glad you are paving the way so I will already have a tune to work with when I get there.

The does kit will do 300whp, final answer, clam that piehole till you can prove otherwise

Lol, it will do 300whp on a manufacturers dynapack with 14psi and a full exhaust

Wheres the OMFG emoticon?

I'm gonna laugh SO FUCKING HARD man

1-when you buy the vortech
2-when you post a 300whp 3rd party Vortech SC dyno(when this happens we go drinkin and youre paying the bill, mark this post)

what -- your 86 build doesnt include a full stainless pipeset? it Should!


There. Have a nice day, know wha ah mean?

[2forme]

Lol, Gem, if someone makes 300whp on just a Vortech kit, I will gladly buy you a drink.

And my exhaust is full stainless?....

Well atleast I'm hoping to get more than 300, on e85.
I bet you I'm happy with 250 though. 100 more than stock. Mmmm
