    Another New Guy Here

    Just wanted to say hello. I think it is great that there is dedicated Vortech support site such as this one. Some of you may know me from the corral. I was gonna try and attach some images of my car and engine bay, but the files are too big. As soon as I can resize them and make them look clean, I will post them if anyone is interested. See you all around.

    Welcome!

    Welcome CHRGDPNYBOY! Glad you and everyone likes the site!

    As when me and Ian were discussing the birth of this site we both came to an agreement that there is a need for a site dedicated to vortech users, just how we got novipower.com going for the novi peeps!

    A big thanks has to go to our main sponser, Jack @ Muscle Motors Performance!


    Glad you are on the site CHRGDPNYBOY! Everyone be sure to light up the forum with questions, answers, tech, new product designs like nate79's, and anything related to the vortech supercharger!!! Let really get this board rollin'!

    Thanks for the warm welcomes everyone.

    As for what I did to move from my previous tune to my current tune was the addition of a AFM Power Pipe and switch from Flowmasters to a DynoMax Ultra Flow Welded catback. Jimmy C. is a great tuner IMHO and I think the free-er flowing exhaust and the smoother diameter of the AFM pipe really opened up the inducation and exhaust track of the car. We left the previous tune in tact with the exception of taking the rev limiter up from 6000 to 6100. He wanted to go 6200 but couldn't find any other pill to put in it. About the only thing that bugs me about the car is it runs pretty rich but seems to be safe with an A/F of 11:1 at peak. Would still like to change a couple more things.

    Thanks for the suggestion I will try it. If not I will see if the web master here at work could take the time to size them down for me without loosing the image quality.
