Vortech Sq-Trim: How much rwhp would I make?
Planning on getting a Vortech Sq-Trim blower for my GT. How much power would I be putting to the wheels? The only mods I have right now is a Bassani Cat Back and 3.73 gears. Oh yeah, it's a 5 speed. Vortech advertises 364hp but I don't know if it's RWHP or at the crank.

There is no way I be making that much power right out the box. I'm going to be getting the non intercooled 6psi kit from Vortech and using the Vortech tune.

youre going to want a 75mm TB and high flow plenum with that set up it will definitely give you some extra power. add a boost pipe and smaller pulley and youll be close to 400 rwhp for a few hundred bucks more when you want more power. starting off without those things will still make your car a lot of fun.

Don't plan on going that crazy. Just need enough to snap my passengers neck when I floor it.

I might get a good deal on the 6psi kit. About a even $3000 for a brand new one. With the money I'll save I might slap on a 8psi pulley and a different tune. But we'll see. Does Vortech sell a 8psi non intercooled kit?

I'm pretty sure Vortech's base blower is 8PSI, along with Paxton and Procharger.
I know Kenne Bell offers a 6psi, but idk about Vortech.
Anyway, with the catback that might add another 10RWHP w/ the blower for a total of around 345-350RWHP w/ a tune IMO. That's at 8PSI.

91 octane will keep his numbers a little bit lower than the 93 octane people out here that have blowers. i think my car is around the neighborhood of 370-380 on my 91 tune.
just go for the 8 psi kit and dont beat on the car with the vortech tune, their tunes are crap and will make your car run rich as hell

A blown motor. You cant go into boost with anything less then a custom dyno tune. Just recently a guy here blew his motor running on a KB tune. MAIL ORDER TUNES ARE NO GOOD!
The only thing you can do with a mail order tune is drive it to the tuner for a real tune. Stay outta boost till then.

I'm definitely going to a dyno afterwards just to see if everythings fine. If the Vortech tune is in the car's cpu when I take it to a tuner can they overwrite the tune or will it have to be sent back to Vortech to get flashed back to stock?
#17
my s trim with automatic transmission made 389rwhp 359rwtq with pipe and pulley non intercooled... hes got a standard which will pick up alot more hp than a 4r70w

What other mods do you have?

a buddy of mine had a KB tune blow up his motor they gave his money back and he used that for a forged block build.
another friend had a base procharger tune in his car that made his car run rich and act erratic at times. he did that for about 3 months till he had enough cash for a real tune. he picked up 50 hp after a custom tune.
dude that is buying this kit you will have to buy a chip or a hand held tuner

my 91 mailorder tune works great 11.0-11.5 air fuel.

Yea, they would have to tune using your diablo. They would just clear the Vortech tune.

My car has the same setup. I have the 8psi non-intercooled s-trim. That is the base vortech kit. They dont put 6psi to our cars. Mine has stock TB/plenum, stock vortech intake, stock headers, walbro 255, and 39# injectors. It made 340whp and 354wtq on a pretty conservative tune. The kit badly needs an intercooler. It runs good, but not enough low end grunt for me. Maybe the intercooler and 10# pulley will help.

Cool. Do you have lower gears?
#25
wont pick up any low end. i get max torque between 4500-4800 rpms. the car is at 300lbs at 3100rpms and pulls all the way to 390 at 4800rpms and falls off a little after that. once you get the intercooler try a 3.2 pulley first i have a 3.1 pulley and that makes 12#'s on my car. im on a very very conservative tune.

Depends on the tuner
I have an 05 GT and won a Vortech S/C in a raffle @ the Unique Performance Car Show in Oct. My base line was 275 rwhp....Mike Wilson @ Lone Star Performance tuned it up to 437rwhp....I asked him to drop it a little
and he got it to 417rwhp....That's an increase of 142rwhp.

u should see at least 350 with his tune on it. he treats california 91 octane like georgia 89 octane. thats what he told me when i was at the shop getting my car re tuned on the dyno.
#30
That should be rather safe if it's really a tune for 89. I'm going this route because it doesn't look like my hook up will come thru anytime soon.
