    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    Ls1tech spawned out of a mass-exodus from ls1.com, and it is a good resource...but nobody really cares who "founded" the website - I sure don't, so I'm not sure what you are crediting this guy with since it's the members who take the time to post useful information that should be thanked.

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    I quote that to make it easier for you to follow the flow of the conversation, seeing how easily you seem to get confused. You seem to get butthurt pretty quick about being "corrected" but I was not intending to correct you so much as to explain what the ECU is...even though most people call...

    Just got New Custom Floormats (Lloyd's Ultimat) - Pics

    No issues with snags at all. All three of the pedals move freely and do not come close to touching the mat.

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    Uhh...if you were paying attention you'd probably pick up on the fact that different gears have different ratios which effectively place a different load on the engine. Meanwhile, you're still dead certain that the additional heat is causing a "parasitic loss". Seems like you need to take your...

    Just got New Custom Floormats (Lloyd's Ultimat) - Pics

    I checked and I'm still able to fully depress the accelerator. The pad doesn't interfere with the pedal, but that may have been why they had that cut-out. Wouldn't surprise me since the stock mats are really pathetic. I'm happy with my choice to go with red. There's enough black on the...

    Just got New Custom Floormats (Lloyd's Ultimat) - Pics

    A few more pics... The drivers' side mat is much better than the stock mat which has an unnecessary cutout. Trunk mat, something that is not included at all by SRT but should have been. Passenger Side:

    Just got New Custom Floormats (Lloyd's Ultimat) - Pics

    Just got new floormats which were recommended by another member here in another thread. Ordered these from carid and it took about a week for them to get these over to me. I do like them and they are a substantial improvement over the stock walmart mats that SRT saw fit to include with the...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    When you can't respond to the points I've made using a logical argument it's time to direct the comments toward me directly. I find that amusing, because a self-proclaimed "dyno expert" runs out of steam so fast and has to postulate rhetorical questions that, to an expert like himself, should be...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    I haven't made a single excuse since I was never wrong. lol You need to get over that, and yourself. Third is pretty close to 1:1 on several of the transmissions I listed for brother Jack, since they are what's known as "close ratio" transmissions. The dyno pulls I have done were done to tune...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    Ya'll are way too sensitive and lacking in the sense of humor department. I guess it's just the jealousy that all the people are loving my big red clown shoe, especially the ladies, because they know what a big shoe means. If by diversion you mean sticking to the facts... Ratios for Evo 8 & 9...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    According to honda guys, a slicker paint job improves aerodynamics and top speed potential. No, we are talking about dyno numbers and whether or not the Gen 5 is posting numbers that are too low for its factory ratings. This discussion is more about the accuracy of dynojet figures, as well...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    No, we're talking about dyno numbers and how they pertain to the viper, as well as other vehicles...but feel free to try to keep telling everyone what they are talking about since you know better. Just watch it when your S2000 hits VTEC because it gets a bit squirrely with all those powers...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    Oh, but I was talking about my other cars and cars in general as they pertain to dyno results, with the point being that the figures presented in this video are not indicative of the Gen 5 having optimistic power ratings. Whether or not you dyno the viper in 3rd or 4th gear is irrelevant -...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    The cars that I have had dyno tuned were done on 3rd gear of a 6-speed trans, although you're stating it as if it is the same for all cars it's not. You get the best results by pulling in the gear that gives you the closest 1:1 ratio, which can vary based on the gearing of the transmission and...

    Gen V dyno - New Vid

    Third gear is usually 1:1 if no changes were made to the vehicle, and that's the gear used in a dyno test. If your car comes stock with 3.07 and you change to 3.55 or 4.10 gears then 3rd gear would no longer be 1:1 and you'd see higher dyno numbers, which would have to be compensated for to get...

    Paint Protection Film Recommendations and Prices

    I wouldn't say that glass coat is a "scam" because it does provide some degree of protection against chemical contaminants if applied directly to the paint (not on top of a coat of wax). I do think that their marketing efforts over-hype its benefits but it's not like the product does not do...

    Cool Stryker Red Video

    The gap is fine when the trunk is properly closed; but closing the trunk takes a bit of effort because it's made from carbon fiber and is light as a feather. You actually have to give it a good shove downwards before it latches completely. I'm pretty sure that a lot of people are being gentle...

    Few questions about viper before I order one

    TCS and ESC help keep the Gen V under control but they do not counter the laws of physics. An experienced driver, perhaps someone with a real talent for driving, could get more out of a car like the Viper in certain scenarios by disabling those things. TCS and ESC just allow less experienced...

    Paint Protection Film Recommendations and Prices

    If you buy the glass coat treatment at the dealer it's a 5 to 7-year paint warranty - that makes it worth considering. Clear bra isn't really protecting anything if it discolors after being applied and dulls the appearance of the underlying finish. It's also not "invisible" and you will have...

    Paint Protection Film Recommendations and Prices

    I'm not convinced that the longer warranty indicates a longer-lasting product. Someone else also mentioned a good point, that is parts of the car that are not covered with clear bra may "wear" at a different rate than those that are. Seems like an overpriced hassle to me. You can save yourself...

    Few questions about viper before I order one

    A good driver will know their vehicle limits on a given surface, and will have a sense of what to expect based on differing road and weather conditions. If all you ever do is putt around like granny then you'll have no sense of what your vehicle will do if it catches you off guard. You should...

    Few questions about viper before I order one

    People lose control when they unexpectedly exceed the limits of their vehicle and this happens when they don't understand how their car will react in a particular situation, and even for experienced drivers it's not always possible to predict. You're basically telling us that you drive like...
