Default Vortech Keeping All Else Stock?

I have been a nitrous guy for some 25+ yrs. Sadly I am tired of filling the bottle. Would it be possible to buy a new V3 kit from Vortech bolt it on my car with a plenum spacer and not much else and just call it a day?

I would prefer to just run the stock Vortech V3 kit on my 2003 350Z. I am not concerned about more boost now or later, what ever the stock kit provides would be comparable to my nitrous kit from the looks of it. So at around 100hp could I just bolt this on and be done with it? Or would I need more supporting mods? Has Vortech got the tuning of this kit down or do I need stand alone or aftermarket tuning.


I only ask because most people always want more power. I would be more then happy with what the stock kit has to offer....


THANKS

you will still need it fine tuned, but a full kit out of the box will be 90% there.

make sure you get at least 440cc injectors a fuel pump, i would recommend a walbro 255 and a tuning solution such as UpRev. you will get somewhere around 350whp with this set-up i would imagine.

What type of power do you think would be possible with the stock Vortech kit on a 6sp???

Keeping it stock except for the plenum spacer.... I could see changing exhaust once mine rotted away otherwise I would like to keep it stockish..

THANKS

300-320whp would be my guess.

The V3 kits already come with fuel pump 255 and tune with SS box
you really don't need anything, maybe a CAT or test pipes
