Thank you! And it's the rexpeed front lip and the front is lowered about 2.5 inches and the rear is 2in.

This forum is lacking driving vids of this kit. Anything you can provide will be appreciated.

Have you decided to go EL or UEL yet? Two of us here in Houston have UEL Borlas but I haven't seen a dyno for some long tube EL headers with the Vortech kit yet.

Nice numbers! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I'm glad Vortech stepped up and finally made a compressor that lived up to the original claims

Most impressive for a stock kit with an off-the-shelf tune. Every kit has revisions after it first came out. My old JR blower had two such revisions. Nothing new there. Vortech's done a solid job both in delivering a kit to people desiring one NOW, and improving it to be everything it should be at no additional cost. Props and congratz!

this is a stupid question, but is the vortech kit able to install on an automatic or would mods need to be made to the transmission with a cooler and torque converter?

Trying to get some this week. Hopefully some in car footage and some go pro footage as well with some drifting. This past week I didn't get the chance and over the weekend I was up in Austin for MotoGP so I didn't have a chance either.

I'm leaning more towards UEL, the sound the headers bring out is just too nice to not consider haha, but EL still aren't out of the question. My next investment is going to be my gauges then hopefully soon after i'll start working on picking up some headers along with overripe and front pipe.

You almost made me question myself there, but the standard pulley is indeed 9psi.

Thanks! I'm pretty happy with what it put down with no revisions to the first tune i've gotten. Hopefully I can squeeze a bit more out of it. Once I complete the rest of the exhaust that should help as well. @skatery1989 definitely put down some impressive numbers on e85 which has me considering that route as well.

I believe vortech has stated that their kit is compatible with the AT. I would probably message @Brian@Vortech to be sure though.

IIRC, Vortech never made a 9, it was 8.5, 10, and 12.

The kit I saw definitely came with a 10psi on the new compressor...perhaps you have a very small boost leak? How are your AFRs?

Ha yeah MotoGP was definitely fun, and a lot better watching it in person.

Actually if you check their thread they state their new upgraded kit is at 9psi

As far as my AFRs I seem to be running a bit rich right now but I'm currently working with perrin to get a new map to fix the issue.

[reyruiz191]

Planning to get some driving footage on sunday, i'll have it up by either sunday night or monday. Also gonna try and get a photoshoot done so hopefully it doesn't decide to rain.
