Vortech Supercharger

[camelgrundle]

opinions on torque converter, installing a vortech supercharger. Also would i have to get car re dyno-ed if i waited on it. Then J mod anyone around NY.


" Is that the car from men in black" I was literally asked that question.

[camelgrundle]

If any statements or opinions about s/c install im all ears. especially anything that is a must with it. Love you guys and girls, yeah im drinking big deal!

I have 120K on a PI 3,500 Stall w/ 541RWHP and ran a 11.55 @122 using a V-2 "T" trim.
Assuming you have a top tuner you won't know you have it.

[camelgrundle]

i will be at around 440 hp do you still reccomend it?

Depending on which Vortech S/C you select will determine what stall speed(above stock) if any you will need for your combo to work, as you may know Vortech makes several different S/C in different trims

[stevengerard]

still recommend what?

If you SC your car you will need to tune it. With a centrifugal SC to get the car moving you need to think about changing gears from 3.55s to 4.10s and going with at least a 3000 stall - I have a 3500

W/ 450RWHP I had a 3,500PI.

Re: Vortec and 3,000 stall PI

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You cannot tell the difference between 3000 and 3500 when it comes to driveability.
My 60' times were reduced almost 2 tenths from the change alone.
It will not make anymore heat than the 3000 either.
It is totally awesome, get it.
Besides, it is free to upgrade.

3500 stall FTW!

[camelgrundle]

Looks like the 3500. And it's the vortech v3 self lubed.

[LANDY]

It is self lubed..

[camelgrundle]

Always haha

[johnnyrauder]

i have the v3 with a 3000 stall pi conv. and 410s. i make 438 rwhp. i got no complants.

[camelgrundle]

Good to know if landy does not sell his

[LANDY]

Mine just sold this afternoon. My suggestion is a circle D or FTI 3500 stall.

[camelgrundle]

Will this work? I have around 500 for the converter and reccomendations for that price.

[greggash]

I would suggest a vortech "S" trim with 3.33 pulley.

39lb injectors or better

PI Stallion Tripple disk 3000 stall

Good Brakes.

Well since Casey doesn't seem to be around....


That's what she said!!!

[camelgrundle]

Thanks got the rings from ford dealer. and tackling the install this weekend. its the reinhart kit so any tips or hints would be great. Im not amazing at car mechanics but I can tackle anything after watching a you tube video haha.

[Blackmobile]

I hope you got the tensioner tool, it makes life a lot easier.

[camelgrundle]

well i broke a screw taking the thermostat housing apart. Got to wait til tommorow to see what part number from ford. drained radiator, removed belt and alternator, mach up the supercharger, now removing upper intake and doing injectors and plugs. making sure i put a little vaseline on the orings of injectors.

[LANDY]

Plumber putty works well on o rings too. Why did you have to take the tstat apart?

[camelgrundle]

putting a 170 reische thermo in. huh plumber putty makes sense.

[camelgrundle]

also got pissed and could not remove the alternator housing. So i sprayed a thin coat of black engine paint on the whole thing instead of the pieces i wanted too. Do you think it will still work. haha.

[camelgrundle]

just keeps getting better. the injectors came with plastic end caps on them so i removed them and also removed a small plastic ring on the nozzle which the original injectors i removed did not have. luckily i only did that to one imjector because those are suppose to be left on. it was the same color as the end caps so i though i had to remove it.

[LANDY]

Contact Reinhart with any questions. After all you spent over 5k for his kit.
