Anyone else running a vintage Vortech V1 ??

Just curious if anyone else is running a vintage Vortech V1 ??

Chime in if you are - looking to see how you like it and how yours is tuned?
Trying to decide if I will keep it on the car or remove it and go back to stock

Re: Anyone else running a vintage Vortech V1 ??

Why are you thinking of taking it off?? I have always thought those were super cool. I rode in a GTA that was bone stock with one of those kits and headers and it was super impressive honestly.

Looking to put the car back to all original - it's a pristine low mile car and I have no intention to drive it hard or take it to the track

If you do remove it you should trace out the brackets and post dimensions, I know there's a big interest for the brackets for that kit. Also having someone 3D print a plastic version of that cast aluminum charge tube would be worth its weight in gold too. That kit is very sought after

Does yours make a bunch more power than stock? It feel like it pulls hard when you're in it??

Re: Anyone else running a vintage Vortech V1 ??

I've got an almost full kit in the box..

If the bracket dimensions are in high demand I'll pull it out of the attic and get it measured up.
