Re: So when\'s the SVS vs DLM vs Heffner competition??
Your smear campaign against DLM is invalid and tasteless. You have NO idea what you are talking about and your lack of knowledge about DLM products is most evident. You are supportive of Jason Heffner and that SHOULD be the case if you are pleased with Jason's results in your car. But, I suggest you support your tuner WITHOUT trying to belittle others to make your point -- I find it to be a poor effort (and an insecure one) to gain acceptance among the Viper community.
I've been a long standing customer of Doug Levin and will tell you I don't need to attack Jason Heffner or his customers to show you how delighted I am with my DLM car. Doug Levin overbuilds his car's and this is the reason I've had my car running strong for over 3 years without any serious problems. Doug Levin's product, support and outstanding reputation has won my business for years to come.

Chuck, If you think I am doing anything other than defending myself from smearing of my name by the DLM guys, then you quite possibly have taken the last few posts out of context.
Max started with insinuating:
1. I was backing down from Mike.
2. My car has detonated.
3. That there is something wrong with my supercharger kit and that's why I am going to turbos.
4. That my trans was not broken and messed up.
5. That I was making excuses about not going faster in the 1/4.
Now let's take Gerald, he says,
"I'm curious to what a "Superior System" is compared do a DLM system that's been perfected since the early 90's rather than one that still has growing pains (200 dyno pulls to tune 1 car) that was developed a couple years ago.
==>Gerald is insinuating it takes Jason Heffner 200 Dyno pulls to tune a car. when it was just stated that Gary's car had over 200 dyno pulls on it throughout all the supercharger development Jason Heffner has done.
This superior supercharger b.s. all a load of crap and it's sad people will beleive anything they read. Heck, your Heffner cars are old technology DLM dumped approx 5 years ago.... He's so far ahead of you guys it'll make yer head spin... Top fed fuel system via split second? phhhhfftt, amongst other Neanderthal methods of crude HP"
==> Chuck if this is not a smear, I do not know what is!
This thread started out with someone asking who would go the fastest, SVS, DLM or Heffner.I stated Turbos are the way to go for ultimate power like the SVS car.
1. Doug does not have a turbo system ready for release yet.
2.The DLM guys feel threatened especially when Gary makes a stirring remark about everybody trying to keep up with Jason Heffner.
3. I am initially diplomatically saying it is impossible to quantify which system is better but the DLM guys are insisting DLM is SO FAR ahead of the supercharger game it is not even funny.
4. I ask how measurably and point out some well known facts of the records Jason Heffner holds in the Viper supercharger tuning/building/racing business which are the following:
1. Highest RWHP blower only.
2. 1st supercharged Viper in the nines.
3. The only Forced induction Viper in the nines on boost only ever!
4. Quickest ET: 9.90 @ 143.76.(Doug is a great 1/4 miler{certainly a much better 1/4 mile driver than any of his customers} as well but has not gone nines in one of his own supercharged Viper creations)
5. Fastest Standing mile for a supercharged Viper 191.8 MPH @ 3,000 Ft on 9 PSI.
6. Only Supercharged Viper to compete in a magazine shootout.
7. Highest RWHP (850 RWHP through full factory catalytic converters) ever recorded by Sport Compact Car Magazine.
8. Having customer to take his car to 200+ MPH more times than all the DLM WANKERS giving me sh!te on this post put together one of which does not even have his car back yet!
9. Has a DLM car ever had the belt stay on for a standing mile or two or three?
10. How about keeping a belt on the car at 200 MPH? Has a DLM car done that yet? How many times with the same belt?
Mike wants to race to prove "Which system is better"
I responded that if a race is what he thinks will prove which system is better that he should try beating a 9.90 @143.76 MPH.
Then all of a sudden I am accused of hiding behind the "Heffner stats" and not wanting to race.
So I let a few guys have what's coming to them and have laid down the empirical facts of the Heffner records when it comes to supercharging, and the DLM guys continue to twist things around because they have nowhere to go in the scheme of this post and no facts to back up what they are saying.
==> And here we are!
Chuck, I suggest you take a look at the entire post and I am sure you will see exactly what I am talking about.
[/QUOTE]Paolo,
I've read the entire thread and stayed out of it as long as possible. You and Gary A. are BOTH instigators. You want others and myself to believe you were just here for the ride? Anything derogatory posted by others was AFTER the fact.
Paolo, unlike you I didn't have to write an essay to make my point.
Cheers,
Chuck
