Car is at the Shop for Surgery

[R3troGT]

My car was picked up yesterday (enclosed trailer) by the shop I deal with and tomorrow they are going to start the installation of a Vortech Intercooled Supercharger. The whole process is going to take 3 to 4 days. I plan on going to the shop on a daily basis to take some video of the progress and the dyno tune. To say I am excited is an understatement of course.

good luck - who is doing the install?

 

[R3troGT]

The install is being done by DaSilva Racing. You guys may know the owner from his Joe's Garage column in Modified Mustangs Magazine.

Ya I know him, I raced against him in the early Mustang drag racing days. He was all about nitrous then in 1998 he jumped over to a turbo and started winning. Nice guy if you stay on top of him. I lent him tools when we raced in Milan MI and did not get them back for 2 races. He was so funny, he felt bad and bought me a hot dog to say sorry

Should get some good results with that kit for sure!!! I installed a paxton the other day and the results were phenomenal...I think the vortech is 1lb more boost too!!!

Here are some pictures from day one of the install. Kind of scary to see the car in pices like that

Good deal! What pulley are you going to run, the stock 3.6"?

I currently have the s-trim V2 series with a Paxton 'cooler. Running a 3.33" pulley the car made 469/414 rwhp/tq.

Very nice. Cant wait to see what kind of numbers she puts down.

 

[R3troGT]

I will be running the stock pully that comes with thekit for now. Anything over 400 at the wheels will be enough for me, for now
The car will be dynoed later today so I will post video and a copy of the dyno sheet soon. Here are some more pictures from yesterday.

Here is the Dyno Sheet. Someone I know mentioned that my A/F ratio is lean at 12.1 and should be 11.2 to 11.5. Any comments or advice on that?

 

[R3troGT]

Opps, double post

 

[US-1]

12:1 is just fine. How much boost was it making?
