Yes, on stock 3.33 pulley and SS Box . Just got home from a great day of driving. The oil cooler really helped keep the temps down.

Wow...those are great numbers for the 3.33, granted you have some nice breathing mods to help that but still. One of the higher 3.33 numbers I've seen.

Yeah, same here. I was very impressed with numbers. The car pulls very strong and seems like it doesn't want to stop pulling
I know that in the future I will want more power, but for now I am more than satisified. Just have to avoid getting a ride in a TT 350Z.

You ride in any car that's built and TT'd and it's game over for your Vortech...just a fair warning. My budget simply limits me from going the built and TT route. What sold me on it though was my buddy's 900 hp TT'd '03 Cobra....

Oh I always thought it didn't have one since the V3 is a self lubricating unit like the procharger
