Finally got some pictures of my new AFM Vortech S-trim Stg I kit. To say I'm stoked is an understatement.

Fuel pressure seems a bit low.

The last time we spoke you were doing the breather/PCV system. What did you end up doing?

Vibe,
That was taken after car had been off for a while. Normal pressure at idle is 42 vac on. I haven't really gotten on it too hard until I get to the dyno but the press does go up with boost.

So does the BOOST ( I thought you would get more than 1 lb)

Ok...much better. Now it's time to start cleaning it up (NO, Im not talking about chrome or polish, but cleaner looking.)

1. You can take the hose coming off the Power Pipe and route it underneath to clean up that area. (that's how mine started)

NOw it is moved:

2. You can clean up the radiator cover. It's YOUR choice about all those stickers on there. Most of us dont care for them. That stock sticker with the engine info definitely makes for an eyesore if it starts separating. Just think...when you pop the hood, the FIRST thing they see is the radiator cover as you raise the hood.

3. Then you can just start tucking and hiding wires, clean any grease, spray some WD 40 on the hoses and wires.

GOOD part about all these things above is that they are FREE..Gives you time to enhance you car while replenishing those funds

NICE WORK!

RC,
Yeah I agree and had already planned on running the bypass hose like yours. Because its a daily driver I don't get as much time to work on it as I would like but now that I've got the power to a place it will satisfy me for a while (yeah right) I can concentrate on dressing it up.
All suggestions are welcome, believe me.
Thanks.

You can use a small wire brush or scotch brite pads to lightly brush over the powder coating stuff to remove debris. That gives a little brightness to it.

BTW, the plastic elbow that connects the hose to the power pipe...Where can you buy one of those? I want to change mine. I got it used. It is all greased up and scratched, and it sticks out like a sore thumb.

If I remember, I'll ask Rick Anderson when I call on Monday but I'm guessing a plumbing supply house, Lowe's or Home Depot might have it.

I really like the polished pieces and hope some day to have the time to do that too but for now, unless its something I can do in a day or over a weekend, I can't take the car down that long.

I hear that RedSnk95, Make sure you research who gives you your tune to. If you in Michigan at all Lidio is amazing and worked with vortech on their superchargers to. Just last week at Protech in my area they blew a guy's motor trying to tune it, NOTICE I said TRY. Not many people can tune Superchargers well. They don't take into account all aspects generally just WOT. And who drives at WOT all the time. What about other aspects like climate change and progressive rpm's. Lidio pays attention to all aspects and will keep your car until he is satisfied it is the best it can be all around. Watch out for other TUNERS!

By the way it looks really good under your hood.

I know what you mean Troy and man its hard but I keep reminding myself of the consequences if I don't. I've waited this long for what I have, I can wait a few days or weeks longer.

WhyTryy,
You're right on. I have a TweecerRT which I got after my JMS chip. Since I had the JMS I sent it in for a reburn to take in the new changes. The basic tune really focuses on WOT mostly. Locks base spark to fixed value and changes only to WOT fuel.....
I"m using this as a base and will rely on what I've learned from the Tweecer on my NA setup and the datalogging capability to fine tune it.
