Dan,
I don't think that I answered all of your questions. The first step(I would
think), would be to supply Vortech with the Info that they have requested.
With this, they should be able to tell you whether or not they can get the
FMU to work happily in the OBD-II environment. If they can, then your
problems (more power) will be solved. If the FMU is not the total solution,
then they should be able to tell you fuel and ignition requirements. Once
known, then the next step would be the computer and additional components
like fuel injectors. I haven't found anyone other than Hennessee (probably
misspelled), that can re-flash the OBD-II computer. If Ron (Z-industries)
can do the custom programming ask if the larger injectors would be
beneficial. I don't believe that a larger TB is necessary in a supercharged
environment, heck I get 6 lbs. boost out of my truck at the manifold. I
don't need any additional air, I need to stop the detonation. Anyway, those
are my thoughts......
