Man does the SRT respond well to a Paxton. I just finished install an Corsa tack system and Paxton on SRT viper. This car is stock including cats with 12,000 kms on it and to my surprise it Dyno'd at 673.2 rwhp and 608 rwtq :2tu: . Makes me want to sell my GTS and get an SRT !! I just love the looks of the car and Brakes are amazing.

The dyno test was done with the car hot ( customer drove the car 50 mile to the dyno not waiting straight on the dyno no time for cooling down :p )

I have driven SRT10 tt at the high boost power is useless. Just spin tires could get beat by a bus !! The mercedes CLS65 AMG just kicks the traction control on every time you punch it.

I have a question and it may be stupid but I've been wondering...if you get a mechanic to install the Paxton on the car and have the corsa etc. put on and don't do anything at all to the factory computer would the car still make this much power or does everyone have to go to someone to "tune" their car before it starts operating properly?

This was a stock kit, no extra tuning was required just took to dyno and check air/fuel which was ok . I test mine on the street with a lambda meter

Doesn't the stock kit include the split second module? Doesn't the adaptive memory of the OEM module eventually start to make inroads on the effect of the split second module?

The split second is only used to control timing and activate the xtra fuel pumps. It does not affect injector pulse or map timing. For this reason the adaptive of the OE computer will not be affected. I saw the post you are referring to in your post. I may be correct as it goes to the VEC2 although I am not 100% convinced of it.

Paxton adds fuel by adjusting the fuel pressure as the engine starts heading towards boost only. When the car is driven normally and boost is not attained timing and fuel mixture is controlled 100% by the stock computer, therefore not affecting the adaptives fuel controls. As boost is being attained it ups the fuel pressure therefore adding more fuel, at the same time it removes timing to protect the engine. When at full throttle, the stock computer goes open loop mode which uses a preprogrammed injector pulse or fuel map and timing map. Because the adaptives are not changed by the split second, at less than full throtte, the adaptives do not change and therefore the open loop map is not affected.

On my own car I used both the split second and the VEC2 with out any problems. I used bigger injectors and the paxton fuel pumps. The split second was only used to control the fuel pumps as the car went into boost and retard the timing. Because the injectors where bigger I used the VEC to reduce the pulse by an just a percentage to make the adaptive stay equal too factory.The VEC II also allowed me to add timing when I saw a dip in the graph at 3400 rpm . I did not experience the problem that mention by you in this post Oem adaptive problems (I believe this is the problem you are referring too). I have experience what he mentioned but it was fixed by adding more grounds for the VEC II.

Here is a graph of my own car with the VECII and the split second. It is a 98 GTS with 10 lbs of boost. You can see where I used the VEC II to start adding timing. and how it increased torque and Hp wher it had dipped. I quit tuning as I decided that I was going to be increasing my compression as I had dropped it to 8.4 to 1 and I wanted to be closer to 9:1. BTW that was the result of adding 3 degrees of timing and adding and removing some fuel as the mixture was down to 10:5 to one at one point. Using the two combined is a little tricky but the car run great no hiccups
