Default DTE-Vortech S/C Performance Package Special...

We are offering a special on our in-house installed, Vortech S/C Performance Package from February 2/3/04 to 2/29/04. This is the same custom performance package that weÂ’ve tested in the past and currently install for our customers and it comfortably produces reliable power on a O.E. bottom end, with out any adverse affects on engine durability.

Our Vortech S/C Performance Package includes some unique improvements/enhancements that are exclusive only to DTE and we’ve integrated better fasteners/components to our installations that you won’t find in the standard “run of the mill” S/C kit. Drivability and S/C operation are O.E. smooth/quiet and fuel mileage is relatively unaffected. This package does not require the use of an aftermarket hood. :)

We believe the concept of aftermarket supercharging should be approached with the engineering goal of integrating the S/C into the vehicle so that it functions and appears as if the installed package is as clean as if it was offered that way from the manufacturer in both fit and finish.

Installation time is approx. 2 weeks from vehicle delivery and digital photos are also taken during the installation and sent to the customer for their own personal records. LS1 systems are set to 7.5 psi, LS6 systems are set to 6.5 psi and respective power output levels displayed below reflect testing at DTE with a completely stock vehicle.

DTE-Vortech S/C Package Includes:
Vortech V-2 SC Trim Centrifugal Supercharger w/ satin finish
Air-to-water Setrab air charge cooler
High capacity Bosch fuel injectors
Secondary supercharger drive system
Alternator relocation and custom wiring harness
Custom power steering reservoir relocation
Charge cooler coolant circulation system
Custom S/C discharge ducting
Charge cooler coolant reservoir & pump
Cogged S/C belt to prevent slippage
Stainless steel step-less hose clamps
New GM harmonic balancer bolt
NGK sparkplugs
160* engine coolant thermostat
Mobil 1 engine oil
AC/Delco oil filter
Intake pressure crankcase check valve
Installed stainless steel AFR sensor bung and plug
Double pinned harmonic balancer
All necessary chemicals, fluids and sealants
Manifold pressure referenced fuel pump booster
Professional installation and O.E. appearing fit
Chassis dyno testing/validation and custom in-house PCM calibration
Vortech/DTE written, limited 3 yr./38,000 mile warranty

Complete Turn-key installation special: $8399.00


Application
Â’97-Â’04 Corvette and Z06

Power Output
Average LS1 output: 495 RWHP/ 410 RWTQ
Average LS6 output: 540 RWHP/ 440 RWTQ

I've been trying to decide what to do with my '01 coupe come warmer weather and this is interesting. I'm running a Gilmer-belt driven, liquid intercooled Vortech at 10# boost on another car and like it fine, though it does increase oil temp some.

3 Q's, please...

1) could we see a typical dyno sheet to look at the actual curves, and

2) can the LS-1 package be had with a bit less boost--say 5.5-6.0 pounds,

3) typical oil temp in 90 degree weather?

Thanks in advance. :yesnod:

Avanti-

1) I've saved some past dyno runs in .bitmap form for our webmsater to post onto our website, so hopefully, he'll update them tonight.

2) I suppose one could, but why would you want to? That will only reduce power drastically and the engine isn't overtaxed as it is w/ the manifold pressure set as Vortech delivers it due the LS1's lower C.R. The special pricing offered does not include any modifications of the package as we have it listed.

3) 205-209 has been the average.

HTH's :)

Regards,
Phil

DTE:

Thanks for the reply.

But, am I missing something? Is there something that makes the Z06 boost different from the L-1 that simply wouldn't be a simple pulley/belt change combo? I don't know, just asking?

As to why... I've lots of "toys" and the C-5's my daily driver (everyday/everywhere); I'd like some power improvement but I don't have to display my cajones with it.

Thanks, again.

Yes, one could alter the intake pressure by changing to a different size pulley combination. :)
