teh215, if you buy the splitsecond box directly from SS, it comes with the software. Your installer/tuner can probably acquire a copy by calling the manufacturer but I doubt they would give it to an individual.

From what I'm reading around here, it sounds like Vortech might soon offer a kit option that comes with the software. I don't know for sure on that, tho.

I'll ask again...

did either of you with Vortech G35s replace (or look at replacing) the stock injectors? Just wondering if your stock ones are up to the fuel delivery task. Or does the Vortech kit come with new injectors?

I did not replace the stock injectors. If I were to eventually go with a 10lb pulley, that is something I would definitely consider mandatory (assuming everthing else could be readjusted to properly handle the larger injectors--I'm not sure if an ECU reprogram is necessary).

My dyno does not show signs of injector maxout.

Never operate your engine at full throttle when the engine is cold. When starting the engine each day, allow plenty of time for the oil to reach operating temperature before running above 2,500 RPM. Full supercharger operating temperature is generally achieved after the engine water temperature has been at the normal operating range for two or three minutes.

How's that?
Man, my car is stock, but I need to slow down on my going to work NASCAR races, lol. What can happen if the engine is still cool, even if it is stock??

I have a Stillen exhaust. I used to have a plenum but sold it to pay for the sway bars I'm going to have installed

I have some pretty heavy 18" rims that I'm sure slow me down at least in theory--but until I get better rubber (wider than my 235s), on a 45 degree day like today lack of traction is pretty much my limiting acceleration factor. I drove to lunch today and even with an extra 200 lb passenger in the car I still went sideways shifting from 1st to 2nd at 6500 rpms.

Hey, does the vortech kit have different pulley sizes you can get?? I assume any change voids the warranty. Thinking about it, I bet they do have alot of pulley choices, cause they have been making SCs for forever. Are these pulleys hard to change??

I'm just assuming they have or will have a 10lb pulley (or thereabouts). If it's the pulley I think it is, the replacement would be extremely simple. Of course, the retuning would be the harder part.
