"reclocking" a Vortech

>I'm just throwing this out there... is there anyway to adjust the head unit (Vortech T-trim to be percise), so as to have the discharge come from the bottom instead of the top?

>where does yours discharge from?
How many different angles can the T-trim get rotated on the 4th Gen Fbody?

Re: "reclocking" a Vortech

Also, not sure what mounting brackets you are using, but the stock S-Trim brackets won't allow for too much movement for re-clocking. I found that out the hard way when I tried it. The fat part of the discharge will hit the mounting brackets and make it impossible to mount. I was trying to spin it about 180 degrees to discharge straight down instead of straight up.

Re: "reclocking" a Vortech

Z8's not to get off topic but how did you like the Super Vic intake that Bret did for you and how was the gains on your Supercharged Setup. Another Board member here stated he made the same HP at peak but made an additional 80RWHP throughout the RPM band. Bret converted me a Super Vic for a N/A Setup and I sold it since I went with a D1Sc procharger, now I am thinking about switching back. I have a LT4 intake right now with the Runners ported and is opened for my Monoblade.

Re: "reclocking" a Vortech
