Re: Vortech Sucks!!!!!

Vortech sucks? My *** douche bag! They make the most reliable best fitting kits on the market.


Most likely YOU miss placed the damn pulley. NO way you make a mistake? Quick to blame Vortech and them say they suck. You suck get an import and be the *** you are jerk off!

I have been dealing with Vortech's for over eleven years and never once had a problem with them.

Sorry to be so harsh but the guys at Vortech have bent over backwards for us in the past. We had the FIRST 4 Valve kit out, Saleen was at the race and we asked him if he got his yet he said they are not out, so we asked them to come by and check out what we got! He was pissed but when you sell tons of units and give them the respect they deserve they give it back, they are not about kissing the big names asses.

done ranting! you hit a nerve pal

Re: Vortech Sucks!!!!!

HEY BUD,

I realize people make mistakes. However, not putting the tensioner in the box was a mistake. Not sending it out the first time you said you would was horrible. Not sending it unil the third time is unexcusable. I own several retail car audio stores and if I screwed something up four times I would expect someone to bitch and talk bad about me. I don't care how good you product is if you can't treat a guy on the phone who just spent four grand like he is just being impatiant. Hell ya I'm impatiant if I wasn't impatiant I would have waited the two weeks to get the ATI kit I really wanted.

Why not? There are small block Chevys that turn a lot more than that.. Though I did settle on a bit different setup.

I ran mine up to 7200 on the dyno with a hydraulic roller and no rev kit. . . didn't make 800 hp though. . . Hp peaked at 6500 and dropped about 25 at 7200.

Yep, those runs were with an open inlet. Even with my custom hard intake pipe it drops ~5psi and 50-60rwhp with the inlet and air filter. No wheelspin issues in high gear, never tried it in the lower hears.

No IC, but using a big dose of water/methanol.
