Vortech supercharger by carb. connection 345hp on wheels but too lean!!!
My first run has 317hp and the third has 345hp. (before or after??) correction is 350hp. Yesterday was cold and i was there watching them to do the dyno. But they said my air/fuel ratio is kind of lean. Average close to 14. At Vtech, it is 14.5 and 14 at 9000rpm. Also, my car can pick up boost before Vtech and the max boost is about 8.5 psi. They said my supercharger is making more boost than the other s2000 for some reason. They monitor my fuel pressure and it is working fine (75 psi). They will contact Vortech to find out next week. Or they can rise up my fuel pressure. My car is save to drive on the street but will not last long on track with this setup.
Any comments!

The HP numbers look good on paper......& I'm sure that it's tempting to slam the hammer down......to see how it feels.....but I'm with RT & Jerry.......
The Air / Feull would have me playin it safe.......or this could cost a lot more that a few $$$$

You'll want hover around 13:1 if you are running boost. With your car bumping against stoimetric you might as well be driving a four wheel grenade. Why are you boosting 8.5lbs? Did you wedge in a smaller pulley on a deathwish? Its very likely you will need larger injectors and a standalone to run that kind of boost in the long term, unless you don't mind swapping blown engines regularly.

I sent my fmu back to vortech and they blame on someone has opened the fmu and mess around and void my warranty. They are full of BS! Their technical support are trying to aviod questions and they will never call you back. Terrible customer service. After these troubles with vortech, i will never buy anything from them. If I can go back to the beginning, I will pay more to buy comptech, which gives better reliability. Fxxk Vortech!
