LT's + Vortech = lean? I have a question about putting LT's on my car with the vortech unit. According to Superchips I can't without making the car go lean is this true. They told me that I would have to reprogram the car and have it dynoed. Is there a less expensive way around this, or am I stuck putting shorties on it for now? There isn't a dyno in my area or at least any that people aroung here know of. Any help would be greatlt appreciated. |
1) Yes if you make more power you need to give it more fuel 2) Then don't do headers. 3) Where you located? |
So even the supplied fuel pump and bigger injectors that come with the vortech aren't enough? I'm located in Cody Wyoming, the middle of nowhere. |
I thought headers usually richen the A/F? I do know that even if you get shorties, you will need a new tune as they will through off the A/F. |

If you already have the kit installed, adding headers will lower your boost by about 2PSI, and you'll pick up a few horses. You'll need to pulley back up to make real power, though, but don't do that without a retune. That said, I don't trust the Superchips tune regardless. I lost 50 horses with superchips. I always recommend a custom tune for supercharged LS1's, the extra $300 or so is worth it in the long run. :bomb: |
I already have the kit installed. I was told once that the program from superchips wasn't a very good one, but that's what come with it. Who or what company would you recommend for the custom install? |
