I hit the streets with my bumper today.

I hate high curbs when parking

if anyone has any questions about the system you can email me.

How much for update?

a grand, so i'm told
plus 80-90 for a smaller pulley, and then maybe a new belt?

Does the supercharger sound louder when swapping to the gates pulley and belt? After swapping i can here the pulley or gears alot more now? Also anyone have any issues with vented hoods and the kit. I know have the seibon fa style hood and wanna make sure i dont run into any issues

I think everyone in this thread knows you already have your car supercharged, and have that hood, and had a problem. I feel like your trying to mislead people with your posts in this thread...

Car is running and just wasnt sure if the belt or pulley might sound louder for now that they are changed and tightened. Also i got a the fa hood recently which replaced the vis ams hood i had. I replaced my maf as well like we talked about. I was just wondering for future reference.

My apologies! I didn't realize you fixed your issues

Opened my kit and no map sensor or the long round spacer for the blower. Guess I will be calling Vortech and it's going on next weekend...

26K miles on my Vortech so far

50K miles on the car.
Still runs the same way the day I installed it.
I hope I can get 200+K miles out of this car.

Now that is what I call hitting the streets. Congrats man.

Has anyone successfully installed this kit while also running the OEM AC Delete Pulley?

I'm at 15k on vortech and 22k on car. Runs perfectly. Also have to note this is without oil cooler or catch can. Will be getting a catch can soon though
