Vortech guys inside

I am trying to find out what the most Hp/tq you can get out of a Vortech G-trim? lets say you had a forged 402 and methanol injection. I know the little G-trim is a smaller blower (800cfm) Do you think that you could make 700rwhp with it? I am considering a new setup and it would be nice if I didnt have to shell out 3k for another a T-trim or YSi

I'm not a Vortech guy, but consider 1.5 CFM per FWHP a rule of thumb. 800 cfm max would be good for maybe 525-550 at the flywheel, max.

If you want 700rwhp you should get a YSi.

I agree, I think that you're going to run out of steam with that little blower... JMHO

If you want 700 rwhp get a T trim or a YSI. G trim is not going to be enuff.

wow your far off. i'm pushing 525 at the wheels and I'm a damn automatic..

Like others said, T trim or YSi. Either blower will work the rest of the G trim's kit.

Why I agree with the fact that the G-trim will not be good enough for a 402, and or 700rwhp I did make 601rwhp with the G-trim I believe Vortech under rates some of there blowers. Another member made 628rwhp with a H/C346 and a G-trim. Go with a t-trim or a YSI. I would use a YSi if I had my choice in your shoes.

I'd say 600rwhp at most, on a forgiving dyno through an M6. Although Vortech only rates it for 575-600fwhp.

Yeah well when I purchased mine they were rated at 525fwhp first time at the dyno I made 575rwhp stock bottom end with H/C runnning out of fuel. Like I said the rating they have is conservative for the G-trim it just will not feed a larger motor. 628 is the highest G-trim I know if and then me with 601 so I didn't think it was too hard though.

Who knows I might know where to get one or two made but there not tested yet.

Im at 627 rwhp sae corrected. 12 psi with a 2.95 pulley forged 347 and 6.0 l heads on MLS gakets. I have the 2.75 pulley but I am waiting for my new engine should make 700 + easily

Just not sure if I am going to keep this setup or just wait for my twins to be built and use this kit in the mean time. I did make 650 595 when I had my 6 speed and that was thru the 9" and 95 degrees outside lol.
This pic sucks but you can see it at least.
