Default A&A Vortech installed!

Got my car back from A&A Corvette. Had them install a Vortech Si Trim V3, stage 1 cam, and Dewitts high capacity radiator. I know the kit is capable of 500 rwhp, I was hoping thinking maybe I might get 550. I could'nt believe the results! 622 rwhp and 513 rwtq.





Scarwee!!!

The car had a previous H/C package. The heads were ported and polished LS6 heads. The throttlebody and manifold were ported. The valve train was also built up for a high lift cam.

Bet you were wishing you'd done this last year Will! Now be honest. You've tested her out and scared yourself silly. Probably giggled like a Japanese School Girl too.

Nice numbers!

So are the ported heads and intake still on it? Only now it has a blower cam in it?

.........yeah.

Edit: Well if I had done it last year, I would have the 241 heads and stock cam in it. I also would be taking a risk with the stock valvetrain and springs. The combination of the heads and cam with the supercharger is what made the numbers.

Yes, the LS6 intake manifold was previously ported. The heads are PRC 799 castings stage 3.0 from Texas Speed and Performance. The cam and exhaust manifolds were changed to comply with smog.

Yes I'm done.




I actually really mean it this time!!


You should have seen the look on Andy's face when I told him I was sticking with the Si Trim. It was like "Phssttt, ...heard that before".

Benny probably said that 5 years ago before upgrading to a T-trim several months later...

Why even stop with the T-Trim.....Might as well go YSI and reinforce the bottom end.
