Thumbs up Thank you Vortech!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know some Vortech staff is reading the board, and I wanted to think you again for sponsoring my stock cube, Renegade style project.

Now that the car has hit 719.5rwhp, through an unlocked turbo 400 transmission, we have more than exceeded my expectations.

All of this, and it's not even the YSi head unit that superceded my YS head unit!

Heck we have the older YS unit, no cogs, and 110 leaded gas, just think what could happen if we cogged it, installed a YSi head unit, and C16... Is 800rwhp through an unlocked turbo 400 transmission possible?

I think for anyone considering a max horsepower setup you really need to consider the YS series of superchargers from Vortech Engineering.

Thanks again to John and Ricky from Vortech.

My Turbo 400 transmission does not have lockup provisions. so I have probably the worst drivetrain loss you can have... I am probably making 810 - 850 horsepower at the flywheel.

Nice new numbers. I want a sponsorship Maybe since Vortech is sponsoring you I could get their other division, Paxton, to sponsor me.

I also have zero complaints about Vortech. I hear there customer service line is a little busy, but I've never had to use it. i.e, their **** works.
