Talk to me. I was going to keep them for myself but if everything goes as planned I won't need them. You already know I'll take care of you.

Yea their Mustang Dyno is a heartbreaker. I made 330whp on it and 400whp on a Dynojet one week earlier. My last tune there with the impeller upgrade made 375whp. I'll try getting a DJ run to compare the two in a couple weeks.

As a Vortech owner, I agree...thankfully my car is a garage queen so I park the car as soon as I start getting tired of the Vortech whine/rattle...

My tuner has an S2000 with a rotrex blower on it, and I couldn't hardly even hear it...I considered switching to the HKS kit or even a Kraftwerks kit for a while (they run rotrex kits for hondas and had a belt-eating prototype for the 350z for a while), but I couldn't ignore the power potential of the Vortech...

Do you have any video of the hks/rotrex blower in your car...just curious to hear the sound of it...

In terms of peak power the Vortech is King in regards to 350z and supercharger options. The HKSGT8550 is a solid blower but the kit wasn't available as a complete set up(Like the HKSGT8555), if I didn't have an extra bracket I think I would've gotten a GTM Stage 4/5 blower instead of going the extra and going with the HKSGT8555. I don't know what I'll make on the 8555 but I know it'll be more than 460whp and I have better supporting mods than the HKSUSA GT8550 test mule had. There's a pleasant "unknown" in the equation because no one has the blower... so 460whp? Definitely. 500whp+? Possible and very well might be the highest HKS GT set up on this side of the world.

I don't have any sound clips but anything past 4500rpm you can hear the spool... the bypass valve is probably the loudest one I've heard. I often startle people on the highway that are rolling with their window's down. There is a "sucking" sound at idle but no whine at all.

What's up dude?! There's an in ground DJ a couple shops over from Danny and when I'm finished I'll have Danny's tuner do it at that shop. Jake looked rather unimpressed with the output and told me that it was "normal".

I was in utter disbelief until I took the car home... a Vette was driving slow in the left lane right past the Pompano Beach service plaza and I couldn't get around him. 15mins later I was still behind this jack hole then by the Hard Rock I was able to pass and he gunned it... almost as to block me in again... So I gunned it... not even close. He looked up at his HUD in shock as I walked away and then slowed to normal 75mph. The look of horror on his face when he accelerated to see WTF just left him was classic.

Thanks guys.


Both of you guys need to have your builds completed before mine

thanks... I'll hopefully have pics/news on the build in the May/June time period.

Sweet and thanks... I'll email you when I get a chance but I'm swamped this week and it looks like I'll be forward deploying to a ******** eating MRE's and pooping a bag in the near future for remainder of my deployment

Thanks... me too

all i have to say is....

YOUR NUTS!!!

GL, this will turn out awesome, especially if the appearance of your bay doesn't change much... a true visionary!

p.s thx again for the core support bar, looks awesome it sucks that you couldn't utilize that piece at all.

That's the same dynojet I used prior to the Mustang dyno. RageTek I believe is the name of the shop. Got to love the Vette guy's LOL.

i made 299.9 on a awd mustang dyno thats uncorrected thats why i was saying i was hoping to see at least 400 from a hks set up.

i would line up but i have traction problems running toyo t1r 245's and i know you got some fat rubber on the rear lol.

on a side not i would love to see what a stock block all motor hr could do up against a supercharged z.
my set up is simple cost effective and makes the power. injen long tubes into the beastly HR motor( virgin block ) oem headers spill into some high flow cats into a dual exhaust tuned with uprev.
vettes are fun but porsche and Ferrari's are so much more of a challenge

Mine is corrected but a OEM HKS/Rotrex isn't going to make 400whp... the number most people throw around would be around 360whp. Now I was told to add 25% to 295whp to get DJ numbers so I "made" 368whp and I was aiming for 370-375whp, I was close. 05Z33 made about 22% less on the a same Mustang AWD that I was on. I don't know if you know this but a stock C6 Vette is faster than a Porsche(unless it's a GT2/3 or Turbo) and the guy in the Ferrari probably didn't notice you. I don't have traction problems because:
