    POP vs Instant On

    You're missing my point all together. ...and I continue to disagree about the speed thing...especially after working with my trooper friend for so many years. (I'm also pushing 2 million miles of windshield time so maybe that skews my opinion) I thought the idea of visual observation was crazy...

    POP vs Instant On

    That's pretty much a useless analogy as far as the visual observation thing goes. The cop should have been busted, but the other guy was at fault as well. If the shoe were on the other foot...meaning anyone here was involved in the same situation (meaning the cop driving too fast), they'd...

    POP vs Instant On

    I would bet a meal that ALL law enforcement people…township, city , and state use visual observation a great deal of the time. …it makes the instant on so much more effective. It takes virtually no training to see someone coming at you at excessive speed. I would guess anything more than 10...

    Roe Running Rich at crusing speed

    I believe the injector base set is what fools the pcm. That shouldn't cause a big decrease in MPG if set right. With 3.45 gears, I have gotten as high as 22.5 with the 5 pounder and other bolt on mods we have. Typical highway MPG on a trip is 20 at 75-80 MPH in 6th gear and getting into it a...

    You really don't want cruise ...

    Reading some of this stuff makes me cringe. Ted is EXACTLY right. ....That some of these comments come from states that get snow is even more alarming. I'm guessing White Out lives in a part of MI that doesn't get much...which thankfully means our snow covered paths won't likely cross. He would...

    Roe Running Rich at crusing speed

    Hi Ken, Well, I guess it's not the first time we've all had this discussion ;) Yes, one size does not fit all. Completely agree! I could be wrong, but I slightly disagree with something above here as far as collector/single tube fuel adjustments. The VEC is a supplement to the factory pcm...

    Roe Running Rich at crusing speed

    The collector area is where my Belangers had their bung......just like from the factory. ...That was 2001 and 85,000 miles ago. I thought all aftermarket headers did before 2000....trying to replicate the factory set up and still be able to use the same O2s for cable length. I've never...

    Roe Running Rich at crusing speed

    If you decide to move them, you will need to burn a bung into the collector area...approximately where the OEM sensor was on the stock set up. Any muffler shop worth their salt can do it. The rub is you will have to buy quick fires or a 96 PCM to get rid of the heater code light. You can try...

    Roe Running Rich at crusing speed

    I know every car is different, and that Ellow Viper's experience with the 3rd tube set up is what works best for him, but it is not possible to properly adjust LTFT reading only one cylinder. Yes, you can keep an eye on the plugs and trim accordingly, but LTFT is meant to collectively read all...

    Roe Running Rich at crusing speed

    I should have added, or included, that the VEC is not capable of adjusting for cold air temps in open loop conditions without the IAT feature being used. I think I sent you a screen shot of where my parameters are for the IAT variables. Remember - the steeper the line, the more you will see an...

    Roe Running Rich at crusing speed

    I wouldn't worry about those readings. I have found that running at low rpm in a higher gear (3rd in your case)...the afr runs richer than say the same speed in 2nd. Unless using the IAT feature, the VEC is not capable of doing any adjusting..... and even then only in open loop. If you think...

    Powder Coating Stupidity

    No, they came out very good I think. They had multiple colors on a board, but not sure if 'Viper' red valve cover was among them Here is the website: Peninsula Powder Coating Good luck with however you go. This may be a place to consider for any future stuff to help contain costs. Steve

    Powder Coating Stupidity

    I had ours done last winter for $40 total. He even shined up and clear coated the logo stuff so I don't have to monkey around with 3M pads anymore. It's an industrial powder coating place near here that does misc. parts once a week or so. I am very satisfied with the work. Not a very good...

    Supercharger Installer

    I don’t agree with the simplicity stated above. If you have no mechanical chops and/or never worked on cars before, it would be a little challenging. You do need a fair complement of basic tools. Special tools maybe not, but the intake manifold bolts come to mind…a regular socket wrench won’t...

    MCVO Tech Breakfast & Fall Colors Cruise

    Thanks for a great time Zach and Jeannine! Thanks also to Jim & Lena for hosting us at their fantastic home. I even got to take a few extra cookies back with us. It was our first fall cruise down there and as long as we can dodge snowflakes getting out of the UP, it will certainly not be the...

    Forced Induction 1/4 mile times

    Per the dyno shop .... SAE corrected: 592.6 HP (std was 593.1) 616.8 TQ (std was 635.8) The 2008 Viper tested pretty much right after me was 565.3 HP and 533 TQ. His runs were juxtaposed for results. His other run was 559 HP and 536 TQ (SAE corrected) Steve

    Forced Induction 1/4 mile times

    I'll see what I can find out from the dyno guy tomorrow. We were 616 feet above sea level. Outside temperature was around the mid 50s Steve

    Forced Induction 1/4 mile times

    I have no clue. How do you figure that out? A quick look shows SAE gross HP/Certified HP/Net HP....with Certified being the newest? Can it be determined from the dyno run? Steve

    Forced Induction 1/4 mile times

    We got a strong one I guess. I think 540-560 HP is about normal. I got a dyno sheet with the car from the original install (Dynojet machine -- sniffer up the tailpipe) in 2003. It was 554HP/586TQ. After I upgraded the VEC to log and installed a WB, I found those numbers were produced with WOT...

    VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!!

    FE 065....I don't disagree with most of your points. I do think the Vipair itself blocks the same space the access cover to the oil cooler area does. I think we can all agree that cooler air is good for a gas engine and will lend itself to better performance. My hot 'moving' logs seem to...
