Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

VFE / Vortech Supercharger Stage II: Parts: 0.2� smaller pulley (From 3.8� to 3.6�) Vortech part number 2A036-361 - $78.95 link - www.vortechsuperchargers.com/product.php?p=42 20mm smaller 6-rib Gatorback belt (Original part number 6PK2655) 20mm smaller belt part number 6PK2635 (can be purchased at AutoZone) link - www.goodyearep.com/productsdetail.aspx?id=3128 Notes: System must be retuned for optimal air/fuel mixture following modifications. Boost, Intake Temperature and Water Temperature gauges should be added. Water pump power should be rewired to ignition, not accessory (phone). Water pump LED should be mounted near water temperature gauge. Expected change: Dynamometer horsepower from base (445.9) to base + 33.1 (479) Dynamometer torque from base (327.3) to base + 18.9 (346.2)

POST 2Original post

I would have a hard time boosting a 11.3:1 motor anymore than what the original kit used. But, as long as you don't run lean, run too hot inlet temps, or detonate, it should stay together. There just isn't much margin for anything getting out of whack IMO.

POST 3Original post

How much boost AFTER the throttlebody are you getting with the 3.8" pulley? What year car is it?. Your expected change is far too high if you are tallking whp.

POST 4Original post

Have uprated other Vortech based kits. Pulley, injectors, and tune, and make sure your charge cooling can handle it as well, and your clutch, and your brakes, and your transmission, and ........
