To answer your question on the meth, I gained 16whp with it. I would spend the money on a meth kit and a 2.87 pulley. I have a utec and it starts just fine every time. Maybe once in awhile it will stumble a bit but just blip the throttle. Its really not a big deal. I added my dyno graph so you can see where the meth adds power, just look at the dotted and solid lines.

I have 390WHP on my revup vortech kit. I have the 440cc injectors, Osiris Uprev, powerlab spacer. i havea the 3.12 pulley. I am in socal so I have crappy 91 octane. I had utec but I sold it and got uprev. Although I never installed the Utec on my car I just figured it's easier with uprev since it's a reflash and I don't have to hack up anywires or install issues. I also never had any problems starting the car or hesitating. I also can switch between few difference maps on the blip of my finger to the cruise control. You can put race gas mode, valet mode and etc. total of 5 modes. I thought that was a plus and seemed so much simpler since it works on stock ecu.

doesnt quite work like that i dont think...im pretty sure say i had a code on and went and got a reflash to remove the code that i would still fail my nys inspection because the machine would still detect it even if it wasnt showing up with the light..i just flat out cant have any codes come up and dont want my dash looking like a christmas tree anyway, i didnt build the car the way it is to have all kinds of warning lights on..

I don't think you understand what I'm saying...with a good tuner you can eliminate the codes, period, not hide it...

I'm trying to figure out what to do. I can switch to Osiris and sell Utec and come out even. So I just want to know what is the better system for being boosted with the vortech.

Technosquare and GTM have reflashes that can fix CEL's too...it all depends on your tuner and what they can do...
And yes, you can do this stuff with a Utec, in combination with a reflash of some sort...the main reason I went with Osiris is that I didn't want the transitions between ECU and piggyback...i was actually initially going to use a SS Box until my tuner convinced me to go Osiris...
In the end, it all depends on your tuner and what they're good at...I would use that as a basis for your decision...

yeah thats what i was trying to say..it has to totally be tuned out so there is never a code to have to try and clear with a reflash.. i have heard of some poeple doing this where they are not required to have to pass inspection and just didnt want the light on..
...yeah man it sucks, really makes me have to plan my route of attack so i dont get screwed and not be able to drive the damn car because of a stupid light on the dash

oh i have a hook-up, but theres no way to beat the computer u get hooked up to..i have to get hooked into the obd port with a computer that even if i go clear the code it will still appear to the computer and automatic fail until the car has been driven through a complete cycle with no codes coming up..

i havent had a CEL related to my supercharger that led to a non-ready code ever with my setup (well besides when my ecu and utec fried).
not sure why you think you are soo doomed to get one.
plus it only takes a little bit of driving to get an all ready status as well after the CEL is cleared.
any actron reader shows readiness.

Hmm...well in that case I can only vouch for Osiris and my tuner...I regularly check my ODBII for codes and I don't get any codes, but like I said, my tuner tuned my car so I don't get those codes...it's particularly pertinent here in California, we have the strictest emission laws of all...
I guess in the end it doesn't matter what tool you have, whether it be Osiris, piggyback like SS box or Utec, or Technosquare, you need a good tuner to make sure you don't get codes...
It makes me wonder what the point of all these other reflashes are if they don't totally get rid of the codes...
