Vortech Superchargers Tuner Kit - V-2 SCi-Trim - Satin (2001-2002 GM Truck / SUV 6.0L) 4GL218-270SQ
Satin V-2 SCi-Trim Supercharger Tuner Kit for GM 6.0L Trucks & SUVs
The Vortech Superchargers V-2 SCi-Trim Tuner Kit (PN 4GL218-270SQ) is engineered for select 2001-2002 GM full-size trucks and SUVs equipped with the 6.0L Vortec engine. This satin-finish tuner kit delivers Vortech's high-efficiency centrifugal supercharger technology while giving experienced builders complete control over fueling and calibration for custom performance goals.
Designed as a flexible alternative to fully calibrated systems, this tuner kit includes the core supercharger hardware while omitting fuel system upgrades and ECU programming. The result is a scalable platform ideal for higher-horsepower street builds, towing-oriented performance upgrades, or race-focused applications where custom tuning is required.
V-2 SCi-Trim Supercharger Technology
At the heart of the system is Vortech's V-2 SCi-Trim centrifugal supercharger, featuring an advanced impeller and housing developed in Vortech's supercharger test cell. The SCi-Trim architecture emphasizes strong airflow and efficiency, while SQ (Super Quiet) gear-drive technology delivers smooth, near-silent operation with excellent long-term reliability.
For applications involving sustained boost - such as towing or road-race-style use - the V-2 series shares the engine's oiling system, allowing the addition of external oil cooling or filtration if desired.
