Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of 30 35% and horsepower between 35 - 45% can be expected with the boost levels specied by Vortech Engineering. This product is intended for use on healthy, well maintained engines. Installation on a worn-out or damaged engine is not recommended and may result in failure of the engine as well as the supercharger.
Vortech Engineering is not responsible for engine damage.
Installation on new vehicles will not harm or adversely affect the break-in period so long as factory break-in
procedures are followed.
For best performance and continued durability, please take note of the following key points:
1. Use only premium grade fuel 92 octane or higher (R+M/2).
2. The engine must have stock compression ratio.
3. If the engine has been modied in any way, check with Vortech prior to using this product.
4. Always listen for any sign of detonation (pinging) and discontinue hard use (no boost) until the problem
is resolved.
5. Perform an oil and lter change upon completion of this installation and prior to test driving your vehicle.
Thereafter, always use a high grade SF rated engine oil or a high quality synthetic, and change the oil
and lter every 3,000 miles or less. Never attempt to extend the oil change interval beyond 3,000 miles,
regardless of oil manufacturer's claims as potential damage to the supercharger may result.
6. Before beginning installation, replace all spark plugs that are older than 1 year or 10,000 miles with
original heat range plugs as specied by the manufacturer and reset timing to factory specications
(follow the procedures indicated within the factory repair manual and/or as indicated on the factory underhood emissions tag). Do not use platinum spark plugs unless they are original equipment. Change

Remove the factory installed at-head brass
shipping plug (not the dipstick) from the top
of the supercharger case. Replace the sealed
shipping plug with the supplied “vented” plug.
Do not operate the supercharger without it.
Check the supercharger uid level.
Fluid level checking procedure:
1. Ensure that the .06” copper sealing
washer is located on the dipstick
base.
2. Thread the clean dipstick into the
supercharger unit it seats.
3. Once the dipstick has seated,
remove the dipstick from the unit.
Fluid should register in the cross-
hatched area on the dipstick.
4. DO NOT OVERFILL!!! Drain
excess fluid the unit if it is above
the maximum level on the dipstick.
Check the uid level using the dipstick at least
every 2,500 miles.
Initial supercharger uid change must be performed at 2,500 miles. The supercharger uid
must be changed at least every 7,500 miles.
Drain the uid, rell the unit with 4 oz. of
Vortech V3 lubricating uid and then conrm
proper oil level using the dipstick. DO NOT
OVERFILL!!!
WARNING: Use of any other uid other than the special
Vortech lubricant will void the warranty
and may cause component failure.
