Vortech 1992-1996 5.7L LT1 Corvette - Manual (Page 6)

Before beginning this installation, please read through this entire instruction booklet and the Street
Supercharger System Owner's Manual which includes the Limited Warranty Program and the Warranty
Registration form and return envelope.
Vortech supercharger systems are performance improving devices. In most cases, increases in torque of 30%
to 35% and horsepower of between 35% and 45% can be expected with the boost levels specified by Vortech
Engineering, Inc. 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 as well as the supercharger.
Vortech Engineering, Inc. 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 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. 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 test driving your vehicle.
Thereafter, always use either a high grade SF rated engine oil or a high quality synthetic lubricant, and change
the oil and filter every 3,000 miles or less. Never attempt to extend the oil change interval beyond 3,000
miles, regardless of oil manufacturer's claims, as 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 original
heat range plugs as specified by the manufacturer and reset timing to factory specifications (follow the
procedures outlined in 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 every 15,000
miles and spark plug wires every 50,000 miles or sooner.
