I have a DR Vortech S-Trim Air to Air Kit w/ the stock 3.60" Pulley. Dennis provided a SCT Tuning file for me to take to a local SCT Tuner. I had the car Dyno Tuned last night. After 9 pulls, the car was more than dialed in :D

I would HIGHLY recommend this kit to anyone who is looking for an easy to install kit that makes a GREAT amount of power with great looks to boot.

Oh yeah....the numbers! :D

Stock
239.3 RWHP
251.1 RWTQ

DR A2A
435.9 RWHP
403.5 RWTQ
10.2 PSI @ 6500 RPM
Almost flat 11-12 Air/Fuel

Overall..... very good kit!

Dennis, thank you for the KILLER SETUP, and the most BANG FOR THE BUCK SUPERCHARGER!

PS - I just thought that I would add this. This is the only power performance mod I have. No Exhaust work of any kind. The only other mods I have are Front and Rear Sway Bars, and Rear Control Arms.

Congratulations Steve!

Glad you got it dyno-ed, like the local shop says "It ain't bragging if you can back it up"!

The Kit is $$4,895.00. I see no reason why someone w/ a "normal" mechanical ability could not install this in a weekend..

Good numbers, especially the torque.

Your biggest problem will be no traction.

I know we talked this afternoon, Steve, but I have to say it again.

You got some very nice dyno numbers from a Vortech S=Trim blower with an air-to-air kit. I can only imagine what your seat-of-the-pants is going to feel on the blacktop, on a reasonably cooler evening...That will be some awesome power to the wheels, with just a 3.64 pulley.

Congrats again, my friend.

Hey Killjoy, thats a bunch of dyno runs!!! What did that run you, did they offer a fixed price or by the hour/pull?

Thak you all for the kind responses.

Yup...I was on the phone w/ Zack probably 20-30 times during the install. The goober knows his stuff!


What did that run you, did they offer a fixed price or by the hour/pull?

The guy charged $200 to tune the car...no matter how long / how many runs were made. However, he did not have access to a BMD0 Engine Code for the Advantage 3 Software, so...he had to purchase that. That added an additional $100 to the total. So....$300 + Tax was all it took.

The last time I had the car just Dyno'd w/ A/F it was $85 for 3 Pulls.... but we actually did 4 :D for the same price.
