    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Tony, I'm not complaining, just not understanding. The earlier post with runs 10-13 were from a dynojet in LA. The last post comparing runs 11 and 13 were from the aforementioned runs, and the last GRAPHS of pulls #11 and 13 look different to this untrained eye. they are the same pulls in LA...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    These two lines, red and blue, reflect the differences in the stock and performance cards, with the performance cards reflecting more h.p. and torque from the same runs posted above as #11 and #13, 11 being performance card and 13 being stock card. What do you make of these comparisons? I'm...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Runs 10 and 11 were with the "performance" card; runs 12 and 13 were with the stock card. The stock card seemed to do better. Can you make out anything from these graphs? Thanks.

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Here are the dyno runs which I had run after Sean did his latest mods to the performance cards. On his machine the A/F ratio was between 13.25 and 12.7. I don't know if they were "real time" or not.

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    joseph, since you are ONLY as far as Georgia, please take a look at what we post tomorrow, and if you can do better, let me know. Hell, I'll drive to GA to get this *@#$%^* fixed. It has pulled 582/605 without any damned help from the VEC3, and I'm about fed up with this. If you can do it, just...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    I'll try to get my computer literate secretary to help me with this tomorrow so you can have the A/F ratios. I've had more than 20 dyno pulls and all have A/F ratios which are too rich (suck). How long does it take to tune a VEC3? I'm 63 now and don't have too many more years left in me. sigh.....

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    After 21 pulls on the dyno, we're still no any better than the stock setup. This makes me wonder if the VEC3 module is defective. I'll try to send you the link to my most recent pulls.

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Joseph, my man, chill a little about what you "care about". I appreciate your help, so please don't take it so seriously. No, the VEC3 was NOT installed incorrectly, but each engine being a little different than another, it took time and effort-and actual hands on dynoes by the master- to...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    I made it home from FL and had some good help from Sean Roe, who personally dynoed and tuned my car with 3 cards: stock, mileage (a variant of stock), and performance. The car runs great and smooth now, pulling hard through all gears. His 12.7 A/F ratio seems to be a good REAL WORLD choice. I'm...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Please tell him I can't scan or post the d*** A/f ratio, but the good news is that my tuner has now dynoed and adjusted the a/f ratio to approx. 12.7 across the board. The stock settings were WAY rich. I dunno what the h.p./torque maximums will be when I run the dynoes for those maximum...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Thanks, Joseph. I'm going to have it dynoed Wednesday afternoon, as my vendor probably figured out a fix for it today. If not, I'll try to get her fixed by the vendor, as I'm not computer literate enough to attach the dyno sheets, and the problem, if not fixed, could either be a bad module or...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Sorry for my lack of technical knowledge, but in any event the data was irrelevant because the engine computer wasn't reading the VEC3. I have downloaded a new program from my vendor, using a laptop, and will dyno the car Wednesday at the same shop. Without the VEC3 it's producing 481 rwhp and...

    Run in with Z06's

    I have the same equipment in my '05 as you have. Have you had your car dynoed? If so, what rwhp and rwt, if you don't mind. I haven't had my dynoed with working VEC3 yet, but without it, 481 rwhp and 506 rwt. Thanks!

    Cruise Control is In and Works Great

    I've used my Snakoyl cruise control on several LONNNNGGG trips, like 650 miles in a day, and I find it absolutely essential. Otherwise my sciatic nerve gives me fits after keeping my right foot on the accel. pedal all day long. My gen. I was even worse. This should be an option, even if it IS...

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    Yes, it blinks until I remove the card. No engine codes are set off. It could either be improper installation or a faulty control box-or maybe something else, but the cards have been re-done, so that's not the problem. We'll figure it out sooner or later. Thanks for everyone's replies.

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    That's what we did; two dyno sessions two or three weeks apart. Seven or eight runs. No difference after retuning with new cards. Has anyone had this experience? If so, what was wrong. Thanks.

    Problems with VEC3-no response to tuning

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and if so, what was the cause? I have dynoed the car twice on Dynotechs, with the stock card and the custom performance cards having identical results, to 1 hp difference. My vendor hasn't tried the cards on other cars, nor has he sent me a...

    What gains do you expect from a VEC3?

    I only have two other mods: greens filters and Bellanger headers, hiflo cats and bellanger mufflers (no crossover pipes-too hot in LA). The car is already making 481 rwhp and 506 rwt, so what do you think it'll make with the VEC3 hooked up to stock ECM? Thanks.

    Spun rod bearing at 3-4 pistons

    You obviously know much more than I, so may I ask what is meant by the term "cavitation"? Thanks!

    Spun rod bearing at 3-4 pistons

    Since I got my engine back from Arrow, with the added swing oil pickup which I paid extra for, my oil pressure is steady at 75lbs after warmup, unless I slow the rpm's to under 2,000. In fact, pressure is 99lbs at startup. I haven't put it on a road course or even timed a quarter mile yet, but...

    What is the hp improvement with air filter mod/corsa exhaust on 03 srt/10?

    Mike and Juli's numbers are the MAXIMUM anyone should expect, in MHO. I've got the same numbers with my car, which has Bellanger headers and full exhaust, greens filters, with VEC3 and STOCK profile chip. I haven't been able to get her dynoed with the custom performance chip yet, but I am...

    Luggage - Traveling

    There needs to be a removable luggage rack which would be rubber-padded on bottom, and mounted by straps running under the trunk lid. It's impossible to pack enough for a week's vacation for two and also leave room for a few souvenirs. SnakeOYl, et al, are you listening? Sports cars of old-MGB...

    Should Dodge Fix This?

    IF all else fails, file a LAWSUIT. This will get their attention, and then you'll at least have some negotiating room. If not, the Judge will decide whether you were racing or not. It could always go either way with judges, who are just "people", some of whom don't understand what racing is...

    Dyno results....

    My car dynoed 481/506 without a custom card, which I now have. I'll have it dynoed asap, but it will at least be next week before I know the new, hopefully better numbers.

    Dyno results....

    Air/Fuel ratio should be set to run about 13 to 1 on the street per Sean Roe. Tuners use 12.6 to 12.8 for race versions. Stock SRT Viper ECM's are usually on the lean side at mid-ranges, but about right at higher rpm's.
