Congratulations on selecting the most technically innovative, best performing and best  
backed automotive supercharger available today... the VORTECH V-2® supercharger!  
Before beginning this installation, please read through this entire instruction booklet and  
the Street Supercharger System Owner's Manual which includes the Automotive Limited  
Warranties Program and the Warranty Registration form.  
Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque  
of 30 - 35% and horsepower of 35 - 45% can be expected with the boost levels specified by Vortech  
Engineering. Thisproductisintendedforuseonhealthy, wellmaintainedengines. Installationonaworn-  
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.  
Installationonnewvehicleswillnotharmoradverselyaffectthebreak-inperiodsolongasfactorybreak-  
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 modified in any way, check with Vortech prior to using this product.  
4. Alwayslistenforanysignofdetonation(pinging)anddiscontinueharduse(noboost)untilproblem  
is resolved.  
5. Perform an oil and filter 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 filter every at least 3,000 miles. Never attempt to extend the oil change  
interval beyond 3,000 miles, regardless of oil manufacturer's claims; 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  
originalheatrangeplugsasspecifiedbythemanufacturerandresettimingtofactoryspecifications  
(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 spark plugs at least every 15,000 miles and spark plug wires at least every  
50,000 miles.

sleeve on the supercharger outlet as far as  
it will go.  
NOTE: If installing the kit on a 5.8  
Lightning, disregard points B, C  
and D. Install the discharge tube  
to the throttle body using the 3"  
x 2" sleeve and the clamps  
provided. (See Figures 7-a, 7-b.)  
Figure: 7-a - 5.0, 5.8 F-Series/Bronco  
B. Slide the two 2" diameter blue sleeves onto  
the throttle body inlets, temporarily, as far as  
they will go. It is easier to unscrew and open  
the clamps and place them after sleeves are  
in place.  
C. Fit the smaller ends of the plenum into the 2"  
sleeves and check the alignment with the  
supercharger outlet. It may be necessary to  
loosen the bolts on the mounting plate to  
achieve proper alignment. In some cases  
the socket head screws on the perimeter of  
the supercharger must be loosened and the  
volute housing rotated slightly. Do not over-  
tighten these screws, torque to 6-8 ft/lbs.  
D. Once proper alignment has been achieved,  
slide the sleeves onto the plenum and se-  
cure with the hose clamps.

15. IGNITION/BOOST CONTROL UNIT OPERATION  
A. The Ignition/Boost Control unit is designed  
to retard ignition in relation to boost.  
B. The unit is adjustable from 0° to 4°of ignition  
retard for each pound of boost, up to a  
maximum of 20°. (See Figure 15-a.)  
C. Using the 1° per pound position as a starting  
place, adjust the ignition retard knob until  
justbeyondthepointofdetonation.Usethird  
gear for testing in a safe area or road. Adjust  
the retard according to changes in altitude  
and fuel quality.  
Caution: It is extremely important  
that the boost retard never  
be turned to 0° using pump  
fuel.Itisrecommendedthat  
instockstreetapplications,  
the knob be at no less than  
1° per lb.
