Belt sli[age was my only problem . The cog belt is shreading teeth because the Bypass doesnt flow enough at 20 + psi . Soon to be fixed

I don't know if this is worth anything, I have been following this thread because I'm also running a Vortech and have intrest in how to get more from it. I did search and found a company that claims to make custom sized belts. May not be cost effective but might be worth checking on. http://www.fnsheppard.com/?gclid=CKq...FR_0IgodbANoaw

Im sorry guys. I really felt like Im letting some of you guys down especially Sentry and Booger or Tupac and Biggie as I like to refer to them. Im so greatful for all the help the last couple years. Today ordered the Greddy TT kit, APS 3" exhaust, APS 3.5" test pipes, built motor with cams, and all the smaller things that are going to make it all come together. I loved my Vortech kit and with 60k miles on the car and its finally paid off Im going to build. And with the build I might as well do the TT kit at the same time. Im proud to say I was one of you fine fellows.

that makes sense

The V2 is supposed to be the quiet version with hellical gears if I remember right while the V1 is straight cut gears

don't feel bad man, I think it's great you're stepping into the TT world. Considering all the bad blower problems you've had, I'd probably start thinking of a different setup too.

anyway, congrats on ordering the greddy With a built engine, it should be a total monster of a car when you're done

Mine gets done on Tuesday so we'll see what a non-rev up does.

Anyone get a SI trim done on a non rev-up yet ?

I recieved my vortech SI tuner kit already but not installing it until Kyle from Import Parts finishes my stage1 short block. My fx35 uses the non revup motor.
