Thats how I feel. there was also a auto FRS with a P&L kit there made really good number but it just didn't feel the same as the supercharger. whats nice is the pull it give about 5000. Its just like when the turbo finally kicks in but you never feel any lag.

There is correction on them but it is a "extremely mean dyno." Quote from the owner himself.

I would say yes because the pulley I have on now I believe is to make 8-10 PSI at sea level and it made a little over .5 psi for me.

I was waiting for the question to come. We forgot to measure it before putting it on. I am going to call Vortech tomorrow and ask them what they sent me. Don't worry about the questions. Kind of the only way to touch on things people really want to know.

How does she drive? How do you compare the regular gas tune to the E85 tune?

@skatery1989 What is your most non partial opinion of it... name one negative thing amongst all the positive. Is it a really big difference? How are straight line take offs improved? I'm asking cause I'm trying to weigh out what route I want to go.

thanks for the reply! Only 2 more months before I will have enough to get it! does your set up have any type of warranty with vortech? or is it voided because of the smaller pulley?

Vortech has a 3 year warranty on the kit which turns into a 1 year warranty when you get a smaller pulley. Unless you overspin the turbine which will void it

I would say it's almost night and day. Between the two. It doesn't show to much gain. But because this cars weight it's make a big difference. The car drives amazing. I could not say one negative think about the tune or the car. If there is something that disappoints me it's the boost that I am getting. I want more. Some postives super easy to install, no drilling or tapping into the oil pan. I talk to the guy with the P&l get and he's said that was a pain. The power this kit gives you is so smooth and pull's hard all the way through. You also get great service from Vortech and Perrin.

Since Vortech doesn't want to answer my question. Skatery, how does Vortech handle the windshield washer fluid reservoir?
