Make sure allwires and lines are properly secured withclamps or tie-wraps. (See Fig. 11-a.)D. Check all fluid levels, making sure that yourtank(s) is/are filled with 91 octane or higherfuel before commencing test drive.E. Start engine and allow to idle a few minutes,then shut off.F. Recheck to be sure that no hoses, wires, etc.are near exhaust headers or moving partsand for signs of any fluid leakage.G. PLEASE TAKE SPECIAL NOTE: Operatingthe vehicle without ALL the subassembliescompletely and properly installed may causeFAILURE OF MAJOR COMPONENTS.H. Recheck all fluid levels following the factoryrecommended procedures at this time.I. Test drive the vehicle by gradually working upto full throttle and paying close attention toany abnormal sounds or engine detonation. Ifdetonation is heard, discontinue heavy throttleusage until the necessary adjustment orrepairs are made.WARNING: Never operate your engine at fullthrottle when the engine is cold.Always allow plenty of time for the oilto reach full operating temperaturebefore running above 2,500 RPM. Fullsupercharger operating temperature isgenerally achieved only after theengine water temperature has been atthe normal indicated operating rangefor two or three minutes.Fig. 11-aWARNING: Due to variances in each vehicle,<strong>Vortech</strong> recommends that the vehicleget a “custom tune” from a local, reputabletuner.This kit is supplied with a “universal”fuel and ignition timing calibration.
