The Vortech 2010 Camaro 50mm cog drive upgrade was designed specifically for use
on 2010 Chevrolet Camaro SS vehicles equipped with a supercharger to support applications with increased horsepower over the basic kit. As with any power enhancing
product, this unit is intended for use on healthy, well-maintained engines. 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 a note of the following key
points:
1. Use only premium grade fuel 91 octane or higher (R+M/2).
2. Always listen for any sign of detonation (pinging) and discontinue hard use (no
boost) until problem is resolved.
**IMPORTANT NOTE**
This supercharger drive system is designed for use ONLY on vehicles equipped with
“heavy-duty” Vortech supercharger units (designated with RACE on the supercharger
serial tag). Also, when employing a cog drive system, a Vortech race bypass valve
must be used; this is crucial to maintain proper supercharger performance and longevity. Make sure that the proper supercharger pulley ratios are selected for your particular application and supercharger type. Call Vortech with any questions regarding maximum recommended supercharger speeds.
