PS. ViPec will be at the PRI Show

I did'nt have trouble with them (DIY MegaSquirt )! I asked for a quote! They said they would get back to me! They never did! No Problem! Hello BigStuff3!

Try ViPec. It does more than the others that are twice the price.

Like this one?

The MegaSquirt is legal in Stock. It is an NHRA approved aftermarket computer...

And it is uncommon that they didn't back to you Art... We found them ready to turn the shop upside down to get our Challenger running and they did it in quick order.

We just didn't give them the kindof track testing they wanted to get our tunes good.

But they are geat folks and will "usually" do exactly what they say. (I only said usually becuase if Art says tehy didnt get back after saying they would, I beleive him.)

Hi David. It wasn't me that said that. I just mentioned the things I've seen on Neons.org I doubt they used the DIY version. Most of them were hand made.

I have a buddy who uses the MegaSquirt on his road race car. His is the DIY kit. He had some issues but figured them out himself.

He is a professor of Thermaldynamics/chemistry/metalurgy though.

New information for y'all to rip, tear, chew,spillfuelon, and otherwise. Hot off the presses 5:00PM Yesterday CST. Dyno Test on a GEN III Hemi reveals that at 70% throttle, the motor lost 10% HP on a pull from 3000 RPM to 7500 RPM. Now the 4 bbl Throttle Body on a GEN III has progressive linkage, and the secondaries are only open scant thousanths of an inch not to be confused with a meter, and the primaries are open 70% out of 100% It is the TB off the stock eliminator GEN III motor. I would suspect a Throttle Body which was oblong, or round as opposed to 4bbl configuration would lose less.

Pretty much in line with what I have seen on my dyno, Jeff. With any throttle body I have tested 10%, 15% less throttle angle does not cause the huge power losses everybody wants to think.

For ****z and grin, try a tug with factory stock 6.1 SRT8 heads vs the so called upgraded heads that came with the DP's.

Where was Donato when we needed him? lol
