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

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.
