Installation Instructions
Before beginning this installation, please
read through this entire instruction booklet.
This Vortech Maxflow Power Cooler (referred to in general terms as charge cooler) system was
designed as a street/strip oriented charge cooler, specifically for use on 1999 - 2001 Ford V-10
vehicles equipped with a Vortech supercharger producing up to approximately 580 horsepower.
The Maxflow Power Cooler System will fit and work equally well with other brands of centrifugal
superchargers as well as turbochargers, with minor modifications.
As with any power enhancing product, this system is intended for use on healthy, well-main-
tained engines. Vortech Engineering 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 proce-
dures are followed.
For best performance and continued durability, please take a note of the following key points:
1. Use only premium grade fuel 91 octane or higher (R+M/2).
2. Always listen for any sign of detonation (pinging) and discontinue hard use (no
boost) until problem is resolved.
