programmers are made specifically for each individual vehicle with respect to the
factory ECM calibration and VIN. Simply follow the instructions on the hand-held

IMPORTANT NOTES
This product is protected by state common law, copyright and/or patent. All legal
rights therein are reserved. The design, layout, dimensions, geometry, and
engineering features shown in this product are the exclusive property of Vortech
Engineering, LLC. This product may not be copied or duplicated in whole or part,
abstractly or fundamentally, intentionally or fortuitously, nor shall any design,
dimension, or other information be incorporated into any product or apparatus

Installation of this kit requires special tools for removal and installation of the
vehicle's harmonic damper. These tools may be impractical for the individual
customer to purchase for one time use only. Vortech recommends having this
procedure done by a dealer or professional if the tools are not available.
When driving the vehicle on non-public roads (off-road applications such as
racing/high rpm) Vortech strongly recommends reducing the spark plug gap down
to .032".
NOTE: Vortech Engineering is not responsible for engine or ECM damage due
to an improperly installed/mishandled ECM module or ECM.
(Read before installation is started)
SS Models Only:
This supercharger kit does not fit vehicles with an "SS" hood installed. The
customer may wish to cut the hood per the following graphic. After this modification,
the supercharger will fit. However, since the engine is now drawing its intake air
from the engine compartment, high under-hood temperatures will increase the
likelihood of severe engine detonation. For this reason, additional care should be
taken when driving a vehicle with the hood modification.
