    Exclamation Vortech Cold Weather - 25* Max Cold

    "IMPORTANT COLD WEATHER INFORMATION

    In order to achieve the low noise level of Vortech
    superchargers, Vortech specifies manufacturing
    procedures that call for minimal internal clearance.
    These precise tolerances however are not
    conducive to temperatures below 25° F. Therefore,
    storing the vehicle in a heated garage and/or
    employing the use of an engine block
    heater/aftermarket engine blanket is required when
    the vehicle is subjected to a "cold startup" in
    ambient temperatures below 25° F. Failure to
    comply with this may result in immediate
    supercharger failure and invalidate the
    supercharger warranty."

    It's minus -7 here with wind chill -26. My driveway is like a wind tunnel and the car is facing the wrong way. Ain't taking a chance with the Procharger.
    It's been good at 10* degrees so far.

    Don't worry about that at all.

    My dad's V2 is regularly started in -10 temps at his condo for about 5 years now in the winter. All you have to do is start it. Let it idle for about 5-10 minutes then go. Basically Vortech doesn't want you getting in the car, starting it, then driving around like a jackass before it gets warmed up.

    Same with ProCharger....they recommend not exceeding 2500 engine RPM's until the engine reaches normal operating temperature regardless of the ambient temperature!!

    I always try to follow this recommendation......key word......"try"!!
