This kit should only be installed by qualified mechanics. It is imperative

Kit is to be supplied to competent engine tuners for their completion by
the addition of, and tuning of, an appropriate carburetor unit and fuel
pump.
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.
Vortech Engineering is not responsible for engine damage. Installation on
new engines will not harm or adversely affect the break-in period so long
as factory break-in procedures are followed.

2. The engine must have stock or lower than stock compression ratio.
3. If the engine has been modified 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

5. Perform an oil and filter change upon completion of this installation and prior to
operating the vehicle. Thereafter, always use a high grade SF rated engine oil or
a high quality synthetic, and change the oil and filter every 3000 miles.
6. Before beginning installation, replace all spark plugs with one to two step colder
