Vortech LS1 Head Units Failing
Vortech LS1 Head Units Failing Did Vortech discontinue the 'high boost' LS1 kit? I heard that they have had so many V9-G trim head units fail that they were no longer going to sell the 9psi kit.
How many out there have had a head unit fail on their LS1?
As a side note, is the 't-trim' LS1 kit ready yet, and what are the details on that?
tia,

Re: Vortech LS1 Head Units Failing We had a 9psi H\O unit fail within 1 week,and it was only making 5.5 psi on a heads\cam car.It was so bad,had pieces of the impeller in the intercooler-thank god for that <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
So far the new unit is doing ok...

Re: Vortech LS1 Head Units Failing vortech stopped selling the V9 SQ for the LS1 for sure some time ago and only sell the g-trim for our cars now. I saw one of the sq trims put out 9lbs <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> on a heads/cam car and blow up the second run on the dyno <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" />

Re: Vortech LS1 Head Units Failing Not sure about the V9-SQ either.
The V2-SQ seems to be doing well for the C5. Not sure why the F-Body can't fit one. Normally you have more room than us.
