nice, glad to hear it all worked out for you.

can't wait to hear the numbers, last vortech car i saw over there put 448 or so down, on a stock car with exhaust car..

did you end up with any extra vortech parts for sale, after your problems, if so Ryan212@aol.com i may be interested in them.

Ryan.

no extra parts, if you read my thread Hugger SS shorted me a few parts and I had to get them direct from Vortech.

he's an ***.

i knew you got shorted some parts,

I know after talking to vortech, it seems to be cheaper to buy the assemblies, than it is to buy the individual parts sometimes... thats why i asked.

Good luck, and i'll keep an eye out for your car next MCO show i go to. (and most likely will ask you if i can take some pics of the setup)

Ryan <-- vortech still sitting in box... just got ATI twin intercoolers today, working on custom install

SOM, I read all of that posting bullshi+. Just tune and run. Quit trying to discredit Hugger. Love your Vortech, and post some good #'s.

man if I were you I'd go with the Aftercooler system vortech makes, or make a custom aftercooler system yourself, air to air just doesn't do it in this hot humid Florida weather mang.

Well I guess next week we can go to the track and get kicked out for going too fast . You dont want to go this week with all the rain we have had. If you want to use my BFGs and skinnys you could run some low 11s.

I`m sure you could get 2 or 3 good runs without hurting that 10 bolt, and they run Quick 32 this weekend so traction next Wed + Fri should be great. I`ll take the BFGs and skinnys in my silver car and bring my tools + jack. I cant run my red car again until I get the cage. Of course Fred will probably kick you out too after you run some low 11s.
