vortech ?s

alright just recently added the s/c runs great , but when i stomp the gas from low rpms there seems to be a hesitation in the boost. almost feels like a rev limiter and then it will kick in hard, not a belt slipping. is this a tune problem ????? anyone with this problem ?

thanks in advance

the vortech is a centrifugal (spelling?) supercharger so it builds boost similar to a turbo. it has some lag time as opposed to a roots or twin screw s/c. you are feeling the lag time then the boost kick in

Are you seeing any boost at that time?

I have a friend who has a whipple and he had that problem a while ago. He figured out later it was the tune and took his car to another shop to get it retuned. Now it runs great.

I'm with coastie.
Prob just a lil' lag.

I have that with my Paxton I think it's pretty normal

It is normal, you have to move from vac. to boost, that period or "dead spot" is lag. You can tune a little better to help it, you can also re-cam and gear to compensate a little to help it as well.

Beyond that you will have to be patient the second it takes to move

nature of the blower - all blowers I've owned did the same thing - centr. are higher end monsters.

How are you sure its not the belt slipping?

If its stumbling or doesnt seem to be pulling like it should... take a look at the boost gauge (assuming you have one), if the needle is jumping of moving back and forth.. it could very well be the belt slipping. If its a lag.. and thats what your experiencing.. and just describing it as a hesitation.. thats normal for that type of supercharger. You could band-aid that problem with a gear swap, and a more precise tune.
