Carbureted System

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

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

that the correct air/fuel mixture be maintained at all times. This Universal

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.

1. Use only premium grade fuel 91 octane or higher (R+M/2).

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

boost) until problem is resolved.

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

heat range and reset timing to no more than 26°-28° total. (Always follow the

procedures indicated in the factory repair manual.)
