Default Performance Guarantee With Our Vortex Ram Induction System

Performance Guarantee With Our Vortex Ram Induction System We do try to keep the cars at a consistent temp when running on the dyno. When we test our cars we run 3 runs stock let her cool 20 min, run 3 more with mods let her cool 20 min, go back to stock for 3 more then another 20min then back to mods. As for the power gains we not only did them on the dyno but backed them up at the track. We did gain about 5 to 6 tenths on an auto car with our Airbox and Headers. That gain was with only 3 mods, Vortex Ram Induction, BPP long tube step headers and our X-pipe. As you see we do not just sit back and give you dyno numbers we are the only manufacture that not only attends Corvette race events but also participate. If our systems did not perform we would not be there. When we go to the shows that have drag events we install our products onsite and guarantee a performance gain or we will replace it back to stock. In the years of doing business we have called out other manufactures to do the same but got no response.

Our customers are our best salesmen. All who have had the Vortex Ram Induction have been pleased with its performance gains of 2 to 4 tenths. We also stand behind them that if you do not feel a seat in the pants gain we will refund your money.

The Vortex Ram Induction System is the first ram induction for the C6.

We plan on going to the track again next Wed if anyone would like to come watch. As for all the products we manufacture the Vortex Ram Induction is the biggest bang for the buck.

Yep, 40 hp is tough to believe. Im willing to give you the benefit of the doubt however, and if it proves out, my money. Do like your style BTW.

for accurate dyno results the oil and water temp must be +/- 2 degrees and the fuel temp +/- 5 degrees

In reality it gives 10-15 RWHP. Also, you ran it on the dyno and got a gain of 36 FWHP, so why not advertise 35+ Flywheel horsepower?

Was the 36 HP dyno gain with the intake only or was it with the intake, headers, etc.?

Thanks.

Yes we did have the screens out and it is easy to remove. I say it again yes you can get 35+ at the flywheel. I did not know that you can gain 2 to 3 tenths on only 10-15 Hp. To do that it takes between 25 to 35 flywheel HP to get that gain. Some my find it hard to believe but those who have the system will agree that it makes a good seat of the pants difference.

What does anyone have to lose, you have a money back guarantee if you are not satisfied.

Good point Ernie,

Don't you have to drill into your car though?

James here is the install I did with it. It took me about 1 1/2 hours and it was relatively painless and it actually does make a great deal of difference in ther performance of the car. I bought mine from www.breathlessperformance.com and it really works!

Scan down the page a bit and you will see a photo of mine after the installation.

Ernie, I am going to purchase your system. Does it have instructions on how to remove the MAF screens?

Resetting the battery has worked for some, try performing a search on this - I know I just read this a day or so ago.

i reset it an it came on agian bu this time it was 20 minutes at least before it came on. as for the screen removal you just pry it out. the instructions that come with the kit are junk. they do not even talk about cuting the pipe you pull out of the intake and reusing the plug on the air bridge. for 500.00 i was a little p.o.'d that i had to figure out how to get it together

Sorry you feel that way about the instructions but you could of called us for help if you needed it. All the other customers had no problem. It is a pretty easy install like our C5 Vortex Ram box is.

The only reason the light would be on, as mine was, is because the clamps were not tight enough. I had to take a socket wrench and tighten them. As soon as I really cranked down on the clamps the check engine light never came on again.

i did this as well and it still is on. i do not get it? any other ideas? Ernie? oh and for as far as the instructions go it is not rocket science but if you at least mentioned that you had to cut the tube that goes into the accordian coupler and pull the plug out and atttach it to the air bridge with the hoes provided it would have saved me some confussion.
