Default Vortech Kit has arrived!

Just wanted to let you all know my Vortech kit arrived last night! I will probably be asking questions and giving updates as I do my install, so I'll keep you all posted. I want to do the install this weekend, but I had surgery on my shoulder a month ago, so I don't want to aggrivate it. Also, after reading this list I've upgraded a few parts of the kit that I've heard are weak points.
- JWT oil pan spacer
- Braided steel oil return line
- Gates 93 inch main drive belt
- Silicon vacuum lines
- Zeitronix A/F boost gauge - If any one has installed their own I may have questions on this.

Later,
Steve

Good luck on your install. I noticed you have an ECU flash, remember to pull back the timing even more to compensate for any timing advances AA may have made....

Definitely... I talked to Mike at AA last week and I'm gonna have him do all the tuning with the R4 and the reflash once I get it installed. Thanks!

Wish I would have known about the JWT oil pan spacer before my install. I know SungnamZ has the Zeitronix guage. Him and Booger have done thier homework with Vortech but you'll get some handy help with others also. Your going to love it. Would also look into the R4 software.

I'm doing the install, and AA will do the tuning. I live in Brooklyn Park which is between Federal Hill and Glenn Burnie. PM me if you want to meet up.
