Steve, u know you did good when u handled my situation, i was just taking a guess as to where the hell that thread went. I have just heard horrible stories about vortechs service, however my situation was treated well. And i thank you for that.

The graph is showing wheel hp not flywheel. The dyno has no way of knowing what flywheel hp might be.

The Vortech will sound the same on the G35 or Z. No, the Vortech does not come with a Greddy bov.

All Dynapacks print flywheel HP but are actually reading HP at the wheel hubs... Its WHP.

The Vortech comes with a Bypass BOV . Different than a normal BOV . It vents all the time when under vacuum [ no load ] and closes when under load and build boost

the more i see videos about supuerchargers the more i want one, i have alsways been into turbos and i know you can get more power out of them but i may try the supercharger this time.


i kinda liked the stillen because of the warranty you can get with the stage 2 but i dont like the look of the kit and that you need a diff hood.


so we will see.

Great numbers man. Shawn tunes my Procharger too and got me amazing number even he was shocked.

I dont recomend changing the BOV the ones used for turbo's done work well with the SC and all the back pressure sometimes causes the blower to blow.
I got this from my reseach on all the forums but someone can correct me if Im wrong.

The cars in the video are both monsters and gorgeous cars. Randy's and David's G's.

Good luck man be safe and when you hit 5k rpm get used to the grins from ear to ear.

Jeff, I second that. Many of you may have read of my Vortech install gone REALLY bad.. In all, it cost me around $1100.00 to have this bad install fixed. I am still trying to work something out with GRC Performance in Mission Viejo, just about everything they did during the installation had to be redone. Four days at Power Nissan and three days at Vortech later, car is running great. Thanks to Jamie at Vortech for allowing me to bring the car if for a run through. I have a full page of issues that their technician found, all issues of the installation facility. From using "Transmission cooler line" instead of fuel line, to hooking up the new fuel pump backwards and also putting a tight (restrictive) bend in the fuel line. Oh, crosse two sets of cam position sensor wires which shut down the ECU.

Thanks Vortech for standing behind your product, and thanks Jeff for your input this past weekend.
