Re: VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!!
Shelby,
As you suspect, I do have an agenda. My agenda is to find the truth through measurements.
The reason for the focus on the Vipair device is simply that this thread concerns the Vipair device.
If you do not accept these obvious explanations, let me know and I will go over it again.
Since you asked about tubes and filters, I will repeat what I said earlier in this thread, by the way, how much of this did you read before posting? I do have tubes and filters on my Viper. As I said, I needed filters, I bought the filters from Roe and he had a sale on the tubes if you bought filters. I think the tubes look nice. That's why I have them. Perhaps they give some gain, I don't care. I needed filters and chose the aftermarket filters. Perhaps they give some gain, I don't care.
This discussion is about Vipair. The value of tubes and filters isn't the topic.
If you do not accept this obvious explanation, let me know and I will go over it again.
I agree with you that Scott isn't trying to knowingly sell a worthless product.
However, the independent testing that has been done to date shows no increase in power on the dyno, no SOTP increase and no increase in pressure in the intake.
The pressure in the intake was measured because Scott claimed that the Vipair would channel air into the box and produce a slightly higher pressure.
I'm sure that Scott believes that he is correct even though he has not tested this himself.
Again, the independent testing proved otherwise.
Claims of bringing cooler air into the box, cooler than it would receive without Vipair, remain to be validated. Independent testing has not been done and Scott has not tested this himself.
Claims of a SOTP increase that "feel's like 50hp" have yet to be demonstrated. Scott has tested this and made his claims. The independent testing, again, fails to see any SOTP increase.
There are only two ways this device can produce more power. Pressure increase due to ram air and introduction of cooler air.
There is to date no proof of either.
