    A couple questions come to mind ...

    1) What air filter do they (or did they) use?
    2) Who can (or would) assist me in case something goes wrong with the blower?
    3) Is there a real tuner that wants to tackle the car?

    I may be a little harsh but who knows what I got under the hood ...

    1) Measure it and call K&N or AFE
    2) Likely, no one.
    3) Yes, but you'll have to pay for it. Don't forget that the gear whine from the blower is probably messing with your knock sensors. Techco's quiet drive was needed for tuning, but marketed as an "upgrade".

    For real.....sell it as is for $5000, cut your loses, and use the money elsewhere....Ebay is your friend....

    I was "driven" in your car.....something just ain't right bro....seriously it's not supposed to be that slow having a 5.7L with a 3.0L twin screw...my friend and I talked it about it all week how a v6 felt faster....no joke

    Car looks AMAZING and is PERFECTLY executed! Without a doubt it's a sick ass show quality car

    Just my opinion buddy....would love u to have ZERO headaches from here on out with such a nice car!

    1) It is a K&N and we can get you a replacement when needed
    2) We will help as much as possible as wee have dealt with these units more than most
    3) i would suggest talking with Johan @ Diablo if you need tweaks

    Vortech might toast your cylinders, but at least they're still around to sell you shit. LMAO!

    Hey guys why sugar coat things just being perfectly honest on what I witnessed when I went by Techco

    I can't speak for any other techco cars....hell I'd take honest advice if somebody was willing to be straight up

    No need to be little babies

    MoMo you knew the risk you were taking when u let them install the Vortech......doh!

    Driving without coolant in your intercooler will cause a TechCo to pop a ring land too.

    it's all speculation at this point, but it doesn't look good.
