A&A Vortech Kit Install/Dyno
Got the kit completed and took it to Dallas to LG for a tune. With a conservative tune 516.7 RWHp and 464.4 Torque. I have a stock 2000 Coupe with the exception of a Borla cat back and off road x-pipe. I'm very pleased with the whole setup. I'd post the dyno sheet but I can't seem to get a good picture. If your interested I'll email you the pictures. The boost is right at 8#s with a 3.8 pulley. No belt issues at all. Kit looks great and runs WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Power comes on at about 2500 rpms 360#s torque at 2600 goes thru 400#s at 3300 and maxes out at about 4700. The HP line is 180hp at 2500 rpms and is almost a perfectly straight line up to a max of 516.7hp at 6300 RPM. Ok, mabe I should just round up to 517 it sounds better. Thanks to the guys at A&A for the phone help during the install and the Guys LG for a great tune. YES!!!!!

The Vortech unit just sounds like a moderate whistle at Idle. That sound goes away as you add throttle. As for the BOV you have to get on it hard and let off quick at 8 psi to hear the BOV. Pretty loud when it does activate. About like an air compressor blowing a hose off. The unit is an S-Trim.

Sounds like a good safe tune, once you go forged you can turn up the boost and off you go. 
I was just thinking after I posted, I wonder what the difference is between 500 and 600 and 700 RWHP besides some spinning tires.
