Default Vortech question

I was looking at some Vortech/C6 pics and noticed that this system has a pretty cool sealed air box and air bridge from the air cleaner up to the sc inlet. My question is can these pices be used with a ProCharger kit and where can I buy these parts. Thanx.

I think you're referring to the A&A Vortec system. Check the link below to see if this is what you're referring to. Contact Andy at A&A Corvette (1-888-VETTEPRO) and he'd be able to tell you if the parts could be used with a ProCharger head unit.

But why not just go with a complete A&A kit? The ProCharger systems are notorious for overheating problems. Whereas the A&A systems don't overheat, and they're the only kits with the "RAM-AIR" Intercooler.

Best of Luck.

This is why................................. heehee



Actually, I never have any overheating issues: Ron Davis 57mm radiator, Meziere electric pump, 160 t'stat, LPE oil cooler. Coolant temps run at 90 degrees and oil temp runs 105 degrees above ambient air temps, so on a 90 degree day, I see 180 coolant and 205 oil temps at 70 mph.
Thanks for the heads up with Andy. I'll give him a call.

I see (said the blind man). That's a great looking motor! 180* coolant on 90* days! You really did it right.
