i currently have a utec tuned to my NA setup...im installing a vortech supercharger at my house but taking it to a nearby show for a tune...im wondering if it is safe to drive my car with the vortech installed on my current tune or if i need to get my car towed to the shop?

 

just take the rear cog belt off so it isn't actually turning the blower

 

I would say install everything but just do not get into boost untill the tuner does his work.That is the same thing i did when i installed my greddy twins.

 

doesnt the supercharger always have boost though?

 

take the cocg belt off, install in the shops carpark. simple!

 

no, you still have to push on the gas pedal hard to get positive boost pressure

the belt is always spinning the blower though (unless disconnected) so when you floor the gas pedal, you'll still get instant positive boost - how much is instantly there depends on the rpms you're at.

 

thanks for the responses guys

 

ask the tuner if they have a base vortech map they can send you for the UTEC. Then just take it easy on the way there.

 

one more question...when upgrading from the 3.33 belt to the 3.12 do i need to get the utec retuned?

 

absolutely
