Lightbulb What is your mileage with your F/I system*?*

I would like to know how many miles do you have on your engine with the F/I system? How many miles did you have on your stock engine when you inital put the kit on your car? How many miles have you put on your stock engine with the F/I kit before you did an engine rebuild? Did your engine blow and what was the cause?

Vortech SC put on at 16K miles.

Now close to 44K miles, so 28K or so with Vortech on the car.

11,000 miles on my Vortech with zero problems and 1/16 quart of oil consumption per 3K miles. However, it's critical with each oil change to throroughly clean the oil nozzle going into the blower. Apparently, some folks are forgetting to do this and I'm wondering if this is the primary cause of blower failure that a few Vortech owners have experienced.

I had 28k at install
I know have 50k so 22k with 440 or higher.
Only problem is cracking exhaust and my diff now.
Lots of drag racing so diff is probably busted. Changed fluid on time.

I've taken my K&N off a few times to clean it and have not noted any oil there as you describe. Any idea what causes this?

I had 7 K mi. on my '04 Roadster before installing the APS TT 12 months ago. Now have 21 K mi and still running stock internals with 404 RWHP. No serious problems except having to replace the stock clutch with JWT.
