Vortech DONE! Took the car for a ride

Shaun03GT · March 7th, 2010, 09:20 PM

So I finished the install, and decided to go take the car out for a spin. Ran fine, stalled once in the driveway...whatever no biggie. Kept it under or at 2500rpm. just like a 10 minute ride.

Question, is the head unit supposed to run hot? I would think so because the motor runs hot. But the head unit itself was hot. Not rediculously hot, but pretty warm.

My KB will burn you after a drive. Yes it is hot, that is why you have an intercooler. It compresses air

And whens the dyno since shes up and running! I want to go but have too much stuff on to do list. So i get excited for all these install posts and want to see numbers... then everybody got snagged by a few weeks lol. What is with the damn teasing!

Shaun03GT · March 7th, 2010, 09:24 PM

lol aright cool...just wanted to make sure. I hit it was seafoam too so it would clean the plugs alittle...but its been starting up fine. I SHOULD get my base tune tomorrow...and Im pretty sure my dyno tune is Tuesday....if not Wednesday..Im so pumped.

yep, looks like you got the same positive reinforcement here. haha but yeah all blowers run hot. if they didn't, there would be no need for intercoolers.
