After the initial 2500 miles you replace the oil every 7500 miles which isn't all that bad IMO.
According to Vortech, changing the oil isn't difficult. They designed it so that you can drian and re-fill without removing the unit. The only problem is that they don't include that procedure in the manual. I will give them a call tomorrow and find out.

It all depends on the type of dyno, the correcting and conditions during the dyno process. I only hit 330 on a DD and I know my car is faster than 330whp on a DJ. My friend hit 383 on a DJ with his mustang (weighs about 3100lbs) and we are neck and neck when we race. Sure its not an apples to apples comparison but that's really my point. Great numbers none the less on the stock pulley though!

So which of the two are more accurate...DD or the DJ? I always thought that the DJ was the most accurate. Well whatever the case I am happy with the results nonetheless.
CHEF-J , do you also have the V3?

I think the rule of thumb on a DJ you add 15-18% and on a DD you add like 22-25% So for you I would add 50hp to your wheel hp and that should be your aprox. crank horsepower. You are well over 400

Ok, the oil drain line is the steel braided line that is attached to the bottom of the blower. Route the line so it descends down toward the ground vertically from the blower and use a zip-tie to secure it. You can access the blower oil drain line which will be above your under panel near the drivers side front wheel. Sounds like a pain in the a$$ but it really isn't. You will have to remove that panel anyways when you change your engine oil. Just remember to change the blower oil after the first 2500 miles. After that, it is every 7500 miles.
Another important item is the brass flat head shipping plug that has to be replaced with the vented round head brass plug. I attached a picture to help show what I mean.
I have to admit though, once the blower is installed, removing the dipstick is a major pain. It's a tight fit but I was able to remove and replace it with some manipulation. Not a big deal.

^ Thanks alot, always wonder how other V3 owner leave their drain line...
Yea, that's how i leave my drain line..And oh i didn't replace that...humm i guess i gotta do it.
Edit: btw, just notice that you have a plenty of room between pipe/AC line compare to mine.
