    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 throt-tle usage until the necessary adjustment orrepairs are made.

    J. Read the Street Supercharger SystemOwner's Manual and RETURN THEWARRANTY REGISTRATION FORM withinthirty (30) days of purchasing your super-charger system to qualify.

    11. FINAL CHECK

    WARNING: Due to variances in each vehicle,Vortech recommends that the vehicleget a custom tune from a local, rep-utable tuner.This kit is supplied with a universalfuel and ignition timing calibration. Thiscalibration is intended to allow the vehi-cle to start and operate at part throttle,and is not optimized for full throttleperformance. Do not operate the vehicleat heavy throttle or high RPM until acustom calibration tailored for yourspecific vehicle can be obtained from acompetent tuner. A wide-bandexhaust oxygen sensor must be used toconfirm proper air/fuel ratio. Vortechsuggests a proper WOT air/fuel ratiorange of 10.8-11.0:1 for 91 octane fuel.

    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.
