In any case, you should always send logs to your tuner after driving on the base tune to get any necessary tweaks. You get that for free.

That may just be with their tune. At any rate, if you get the tuner kit, send some data logs to the tuner and have them tweak it.

Vortech is referring to the complete kit they are selling. If you purchase a kit from a tuner you are supposed to send data logs in and the tune will be tweaked for your car specifically.

Can we get an edit there Sniper? Vortech manufactures Supercharger Kits. That statement is literally like saying you are drinking a Coke Pepsi. Please do not ever get our products confused with them. Totally different company, VASTLY different product.

Turns out it isn't your fault. I don't ever stray away from the Forced Induction section, so I never saw the typos in that thread. Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.
