there was no custom modification needed for my car other than cutting the hood, it is very well designed kit and to date has ZERO problems.

i made 450 to the wheel with an automatic someone show me where they sacrificed hp..

ATI cannot claim that.

I picked up 18RWHP and 17RWTQ. It is constructed out of 1/8" ABS plastic. The only reason I'm posting this is I know John won't mind because I'm no longer out to make money on this deal..just trying to offer them to the public if wanted. I need all who are interested to please drop me an e-mail with all of your contact information. name,address, etc..
bbrannen@compcams.com

Thanks,
Brian

Brian email the pictures to jsnee@vortechsuperchargers.com and see if they want to get some. He works there and has a Z/28 with their kit.

The actual lid in those pictures is sitting in my garage.

I volunteered my '01 SS to do R&D for Brian last year. When he didn't get enough orders, he let me purchase the prototype lid. There were a couple local guys that wanted it, but as a thanks for my work on his behalf the lid went to me.

I did 8 dyno pulls to test the lid. Bottom line is that the stock lid (which I smoothed all of the ridges out of already) made a best of 446 RWHP. The Spectacle lid was then installed and made a best of 463 RWHP. This is on a stock internals 8K mile motor.

That's a significant EASY amount of power to gain there.

I'm at work and don't have the dyno sheets etc. in front of me, but I emailed all of them as a file to Brian. He was going to post my results on his website, but gave up on the project (at least for a while, sounds like he may be doing it now) due to lack of response.

Yeah I contacted you TWS a long time ago about it and then E-mailed Brian back then but never got a response so after a few months (at least 6months) I PM'd him again and that is when I started trying to getting other people interested so that I and everyone else interested could buy on if possible. The lid sound promising so I am excited to get one. I also have the dyno sheets if anyone needs them. If Got me some isn't available or something.

Jeff,

Hope he starts the project back up so that you and other Vortech guys can get one of these babies.
