Well it looks like we are at it again... We now have the new Vortex ram Induction system for the 08 vette. Vortex Ram Induction proven on the race track and dyno to be the world most powerful Ram Induction System. To this date we still have no challengers for the Ram Induction Shootouts that we put out. Next Shoot out C6 Bash- Beach Bend Raceway- April- Bowling Green

We just finished designing and testing our new Vortex Ram Induction System (First Production Ram Air System for the C6)for the 08 Corvette and have some interesting results. First let me explain how we get our results. We do all the runs on the same day and within 30 min of each other. The first 5 runs were done using the stock system. Second 5 runs with the Vortex Ram Induction System. Another 5 runs with the stock system and yet another 5 runs with the Vortex Ram Induction System. All the runs were on our C6 08 stick Z51 Corvette with a Magnaflow exhaust. All runs done with the hood down and a high flow fan in front.
Results on stock system between 378.4 RWHP and 380 RWHP
Results with the Vortex System Between 390.4 to 393.2 RWHP
This is with no programming done to the system. LTFT were between -2 to -4 and wide open AFR was 10.5 to 10.7 That’s about 17 HP gain on 10.5 AFR

If programming is done and AFRs are set to 12.7 to 12.9 gains should be between 26 to 30 HP not including the ram air effect.

This test before programming was done to insure performance results without having any check engine issues without the programming being done. We do still recommend a good computer tune to further enhance the power level.

We figured the stock system was still restrictive and still picking up the hot air from the engine compartment. Our Vortex system has again proven itself to be the #1 Ram Induction due to its design and the first to the market for the C6. Our ram air system has the Vortex Ram Induction Box, Powerduct and all couplers as a complete kit. No need for a throttle body spacer that does nothing.

We welcome anyone to come to our facility and see it for themselves.
Next to be tested would be our Long tube step headers

By the way we will be at Carlisle in the install area providing installs and tuning.

I have a quick question. Did you remove the MAF screen when you installed your system? Have you done any testing to verify if it helps or hurts airflow, or makes it more difficult to tune?

Thanks,

Tim

 

I saw in another thread where another shop bolted up a K&N system for the C6Z on an 08. Out of curiousity, is your vortex a new design for the 08 or is it the same one you sell for the C6 Z06? If it is a new design, what is the difference?

BTW, I had a BPP vortex on my 2000 coupe and '02 Z06.

 

Since the LS3 seems to be at least as sensitive to airflow variations as the other LSxs, have you had a problem with surging, codes, etc?

 

There is no MAF screen on the 08 like the Z06.

 

 

You are my hero.

Thanks for the answer

By the way Breathless performance-

This thread cracks me up. 30 rwhp.
For the sake of BPP I hope this thing does actually make 30rwhp tuned. I say that with true sincerity. I've used my car as a mule and disproved one company's claims already. I'm not saying BPP's impressive numbers are wrong, its just that they are quite high and it's disappointing to unwary cutomers when they expect to get the results of a cam with an easy bolt on and don't. For the sake of this community I hope your product does get 30rwhp. Sounds like a good product.

 

Yes it is differant then the Z06 system we have. No there is no MAF screen to remove it uses the same maf as the Z06. No we have had no surge problems so far. LTFT seem to be fine at crusing and idle.

As far as hp it will not give you 30 on an untuned car. You need to raise the afr ratio to 12.5 to about 12.9 to do that and also increase the timing curve. We plan on getting the car back to our facility either Monday or just after the Carlisle show for the dyno tune and will post the results then.

We are heading off the Carlisle and will have to tune the 08 car when we get back.

If installation was included for the price, I'd be on one of these quicker than my cat runs for food.

 

Any results yet?
