    Sold The '04 Vortech Awaiting Delivery Of A '13 Gt W/ Track Pack... 2011-2013 Questions

    So about 6 weeks ago I sold my 2004 Supercharged GT which made 420rwhp and 408 ft lbs and traded up to a brand new 5.0. Since they didn't have exactly what I wanted (more of the go less of the show) on the lot I opted to order. I was supposed to take delivery 11/6 but with the recent Hurrican...

    00 GT, Random miss after warm up? Runs great otherwise.

    When I initially got my car tuned after the install I had to play with the MAF a little bit but since than it has been trouble free. In terms of turbulent air causing noise for the MAF I basically used the rule that after a bend to keep a distance of twice the diameter of the tubing being used...

    Vortech guys!

    Are you sure you are hearing the supercharger? When I switched to an intercooler and a blow through MAF I can here the BOV releasing a ton of air as the valve flutters open and closed if I am coasting down from high rpm coming out of boost. What kind of noise is it?

    Vortech guys!

    +1 For being intercooled. Once you have a blower you will get addicted to the extra power your car makes but it sucks when you can feel how much doggier it gets in the hot summer months. But one thing I would like to say is if you are going the non self contained way spend some time and a...

    99-04 2v header reccomendations-shorty and longtube

    I have BBK and wasn't pleased with there fitment initially to be honest. They are long tubes of course I agree do that or nothing else. Helped a good bit in conjunction with the SC. I have heard great things about MAC. Does anyone know if MAC makes equal length? THat would be ideal.

    00 GT, Random miss after warm up? Runs great otherwise.

    I encounter the same problem with my boosted car. The car will idle and every few revolutions it will sound off as it is dropping a cylinder. It runs OK and makes good power but I would like to smooth out the idle. How can I determine if excess EGR flow is the issue?

    Needing Some Vortech/Meth injection Advice

    Yea I agree I was trapping 114 with ~400rwhp. I am curious to see if my trap speed changes at all now that I am making 20 more rwhp.

    Needing Some Vortech/Meth injection Advice

    It is extremely nice to be able to be able to have a debate on a forum without it turning nasty or downright stupid. Sounds like your car is quite the beast! What cams are you running and have you given any thought to the Victor Jr. EFI intake. A friend of mine had a automatic 2V making...

    Vortech Mustang Randomly Floods and won't start what could it be?

    So my car will randomly act flooded and will crank, fire, sputter, and than die. To start it I must hold the gas to the floor and crank it till it starts than feather the throttle for a second to keep it running. When it starts I get a huge puff of smoke out the back (unburned fuel) but within...

    2002 GT drivebelt changes with Vortech

    To change the drivebelt with a Vortech you need to remove the bracket. It sounds like a huge pain but it honestly isn't that bad especially if you have an extra set of hands. As for moving the belt tensioner get a 16" pipe wrench to grip the tensioner from under the car and it will turn easily...

    Needing Some Vortech/Meth injection Advice

    You make a very good point which I did not consider initially which is in the event of failure in the meth system the computer should have ample time to pull timing accordingly prior to failure. In this sense meth injection is relatively safe but still not as reliable as an intercooler no...

    building 4.6l 2v any advice?

    Depending on your power output you might need more than a 42lb injector. I would recommend 60#'s. Also in terms of the compression ratio I would do some research on what is an safe amount with a blown motor. 9.5:1 sounds pretty good. And I agree you should definitely go with a blower cam if...

    Needing Some Vortech/Meth injection Advice

    I have $1100 invested in my set up which does not include the dyno tune. I did all the work myself. I went ahead and got 60# injectors when I put on the intercooler so I would have some leeway down the road if I wanted to make more power which added to the cost by about $350. Unfortunately I...

    Needing Some Vortech/Meth injection Advice

    I was going to go down your root. I installed a non intercooled Vortech set up with ~10lbs of boost but didn't like the loss in power during the summer months. I initially wanted to go with a Meth injection set up but was guided otherwise and never looked back. Here is my concern with Meth...

    Radiator Fan Constantly Runs what could it be?

    AHA! So today I ran into a new problem the car wouldn't start and it wasn't flooded it wasn't getting any fuel. It finally started accompanied by two codes: P0190 and P1233 I believe. However, I finally got a chance to take a better look at my CCRM and wound up removing it entirely from the...

    Vortech (non-aftercooled) @ 8psi Safe on DD '01 GT?

    Yes and no. Yes you can safely run a non intercooled supercharger although honestly you could spend another 1000 and piece together a kit off of CX racing and make more consistent power safely. But if all you want is non intercooled fun it won't kill your car but on 8lbs you won't be making...

    12lbs Intercooled Vortech with 3.90 rear... thinking about switching to 3.55 thoughts?

    You make a very good point. If I had some extra money it would definitely make sense to have dedicated summer and winter tires. That is definitely something I should invest in for the future. But on the subject of gears there does come a point of diminishing returns with the current set up...

    12lbs Intercooled Vortech with 3.90 rear... thinking about switching to 3.55 thoughts?

    I hear what you are saying and I understand that tires, especially summer tires, don't hook as well in the cold. Honestly though I kind of like the 555's at least for an all around tire. I have some friends with the NT05's or a stickier equivalent but you wear through them so fast and this is...
