F8L Z71 Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 I would have to disagree with the not expecting too much thing, expect some good numbers and power. I put down some good numbers and with any luck next time I go I will hit the 500HP mark with out changing any of the factory internals. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So you're telling him to expect the best power first time out? That's kinda dumb and a good way to set oneself up for a let down if the #s are not what he expects. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess so...how else would you know you would hit 500hp? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well he did dyno it at 475 a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess that hitting that peak number too often on stock internals would not be a good thing. Just hope it is not stock on the tranny internals.

dounome Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Been to the track Ben, I put down a best run @ 13.2 and that was with stock tranny(not to good I know). I would have to say that with a mail order PCM and long tubes got me the 472HP so YES expect some damn good numbers. How can you tell someone not to expect something out of a product you do not have. Take a look around man, the fastest truck on this site runs a Vortech and I know for a fact that my next visit to the dyno will produce 500HP. The alky control, smaller pulley(10-11PSI), electric fans, new converter, valve body.........these are the things that will get me the high 12's and 500HP. I just don't understand why you would bash on a product you don't have experience with? Good luck with your new toy man, you will learn how to get the most out of it and beat up on some radix followers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say anything bad about the Vortech. I said don't expect everything to work 100% first time out IE it may take some tweeking. Is this your first time modding a vehicle? Kinda sounds like it to me because pretty much anyone who's been down that road knows that you rarely put out 100% the first try or with something right out of the box.. Also I have owned a Vortech S-Trim on a 306 ci. Mustang then on my built 351w. I have a my share of experience with them ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WI_Dave Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Grats man! Just dont expect too much first time out. May take some tuning to get it 100% How can you tell someone not to expect something out of a product you do not have. I think they mean it won't peak till you get the tune just right. p.s. Nice numbers before supercharger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 If i recall his numbers weren't done at all 4 wheels. I believe he only dyno'd from just the rear two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dounome Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 Well you came off like the know all to end all, Im sorry if I took it the wrong way. My point was you won't spend tons of time makeing everything work , its DAMN good right out of the box, thats all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 ...I somehow missed this post. I think the Vortech is a nice piece and almost bought it. I liked the fact that it can produce higher boost #'s where the Radix is pretty much spent at 10psi. dounome - I think high 12's will be a walk in the park after your newest mods. Hell, low 12's are within reach. A 500/500RWHP/TQ is in your future for sure. We gotta get a bunch of trucks together for a party at the drag strip this summer.

I dont see how it came across and a know it all. *shrug* I've seen more than a few people on Perfomancetrucks.net that had to work to get good #s out of their Vortech kit, just like some have had to do with their Radix, or turbo kit. It's just easier on you when you dont get your expectations too high is all. Ask Haynss LMAO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skandulous ss Posted March 15, 2006 Report Share Posted March 15, 2006 cool good luck with the blower but in my book theres no substitution for cubic inches and compression all my cars have been naturally aspirated my vette runs 11:1 compression and i run 564whp later on i plan on new heads and new pistons for my ss to get that compression up there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adding cubes and FI is where its at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
