Yes, Vortechs directions blew donkey balls...I was left scratching my head a few times, but theres some good sites on the 'net. Good luck.
Sunday modified the radiator hold down and bent the air conditioning lines, and set back into the bracket to clear belt and pulley. Mounted the Vortech crank pulley

Getting tired of looking at it taking the next 2 days off the install 
Starting back Wednesday evening. Got the T-rex mostly finished tonight (Monday), still have to run the power line. Got the Oil pan threaded and the oil input straightened out too! Getting close

Youre running an FMU and 42# injectors? Thats a lotta fuel it seems like, whats your combo and what disk will you have in the FMU?
Hi
Yes I am using a 4.1 disk in the FMU. I should be around 500 RWHp and my son had 525 RWHP similar setup and had to use an FMU, he just put in 60#'s, bigger fuel lines and rails. I hope to make a run at the tuners with it bypassed but have been told by them that I will need the FMU??

Brancer said:I noticed you did not say WHO installed the kit!...Hmmmmm?
It doesn't matter, it was my fault not getting it tuned properly. Now get to work on the Volvo.

Hi,
An update
Jay and I worked last night. Got the Vortech, alternator, upper intake installed, oil lines plumbed to vortech, hose installed between vortech and T/B. Starting to look like something is being done
. Ran into a few fitment problems with the MAF and vortech intake. The lightning MAF is a larger diameter than the stock, so need an adapter, for the air intake, also had to solder the pig tail into the harness. Also needed SCT chip for the MAF, got a basic tune put on it to get from Jay's to dyno, that was programed yesterday, by Mike at Paul,s.
Getting excited now.

Hi,
I took my chip out and took it to the tuner (Pauls Automotive Engineering)and had them put a base tune in. Then they will refine it on the dyno! (my son also works there) I need a base tune because I went to a Lightning MAF and 42# injectors. The lightning MAF is tuned by the car computer not calibrated for a particular injector. At least that was the way it was explained to me.
