[KB Viper]

Possibly if it ever gets done. Spray will come out much sooner for the Heads and Cam kits. We are working on that now.

Andy

Looks like some miscommunication from another member. Thanks for clearing that up Andy and keep making us Gen V owners proud! Looking forward to what you guys bring to the table in 2016!

[Evan@D3PE]

You mean the same shady post you first made about you taking the fastest gen 5 title, deliberately leaving out the fact that you had an auto and nitrous installed "for looks only I guess" while emphasizing that you are on the stock ecu? You mean that kinda of SHADY? You sure have the balls and lack of integrity to be calling another tuner that has never criticized you shady and trash their product in order to push yours. As a customer, I would never do business with a shop like yours. Your lack of integrity and etiquette is enough for me to run the other way! try letting your product speak for itself without being such a feminine hygiene product. You will get a better response....

It was obvious to all, and with many members being there in person, that my car was not on our base supercharger system to run better than a 1100whp TT car and I never claimed it to be 750whp. I'm not going to get into a shit slinging competition but believe me you miss out on a lot that these other people are doing behind the scenes that I know from emails, screen shots, and seeing with my own eyes v.s. the front they put on. Time to start calling people out for what it is and hopefully spare some customers. I've never stated anything but facts that can be proven

I don't have a dog in the fight but you can't make claims like the ones you did that I've highlighted in bold and not provide evidence. I'm not saying your lying, I'm just saying that if you're going to make an accusation that strong (and potentially harmful) then you should at least back it up with physical evidence.

I wasn't referring to the added hp you were running but the tranny which wasn't obvious and the nitrous which is "not being used". You boasted a big # in order to sell kits leaving out the most important details! if that's not misleading and the definition of shady, what is? now as far as your beef with Calvo. You guys are not the first tuners in the game to ever clash and name call behind the scenes, steal customers or do other stupid shit to make a buck. This shit happens, But there is this little thing called etiquette and decorum. No one here cares as long as nothing is being done to cheat or hurt fellow members..

I boasted a new record, not that our base system was capable of it

Once again you are attacking us instead of answering questions about your business. We will choose not to lower ourselves to this level as it hurts all of us performance shops in the end, but will defend our name is your attacks continue. Like I said I never have once bashed your product. I have praised it and said good job. Not sure why you constantly feel the need to bash us?

To be clear I paid 3k for headers with cats back in Jan of 15, 11 months before I sent my car to VE for heads/cam. So what I posted is what I paid.

[socal]

Quick question Evan. What does the car dyno or run on the spray? Just curious, seeing how it's been on that car for a while. Cheers

I have truly never sprayed it. The first time we ever filled the bottle was at the track for Viper Nationals and another racer actually ended up borrowing it and still has it till this day. I'm not interested in hurting the motor and we're already making a chunk of power and torque. We have a great relationship with nitrous outlet and before we did the auto swap and raised the boost I installed the nitrous kit with the intention of spraying on top of the 750whp the standard blower kit makes. I still plan on going back to that once the 6spd goes back in and now that we've improved the record a little more

I own the car D3 just finished. It had a 250shot Nitrous Outlet kit running C16 tuned by Karger and installed by Anything Automotive... following what Will Dugas did.. HPT. Never hit limp mode.. 813whp/875tq. I Run Nt05R's.. I don't drag race much but I ran one N20 Pass and did a 10.3 @ 146.9.. Slips and vid posted on this site.

Wanted a bit more daily power that could be upgraded in stages. Visited Calvo, very impressed, but wasn't ready for the full TT setup. Saw D3's Supercharger thread on this site.. visited. Saw that I could move to 750-800 in budget.. and over 1000whp using my existing N20 setup and my Belanger headers and cat delete. Phase II would be ProEFI or Motec and fuel system additions when I need more. Probably move faster to phase II for better traction control.
The D3 setup met my needs in my situation. Evan and Chris were great and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
I roll race.. I probably won't even run it from a dig so what time it runs the 1/4 in is irrelevant to me. But if I do I'll surely post it for the group.

So far the new F1X setup is phenomenal... Still breaking in the McLeod clutch. No limp mode. Great street manners.. heck, my wife drives it now and then.

The gen V viper community should be happy to have D3, Calvo, Karger, Anything Automotive, ViperExchange, etc in the mix. Competition breeds innovation.

Ok I will sum up the comment about VE, Woodhouse, and the Sledgehammer Supercharger so it makes more sense, and I understand your confusion.

Woodhouse has nothing to do with the Sledgehammer package. ViperExchange is behind it with Arrow 100% with no other parties involved. Both Mark and I talk to Arrow on a regular basis so I am sure he's passing on info based on what someone has told him.

I know this because I personally sit in on those conference calls and the meetings at Arrow. Mr. Keating actually made an announcement about the Sledgehammer development at the Sebring race this weekend to the owners that were in attendance discussing a pushed out timeline for bringing the product to market. I am not going into a lot of details because there are still a lot of things up in the air on our end and to comment on them wouldn't do you guys any good.

Andy

Thanks Andy, that is good news for now. Still being worked on and sounds promising but issues being addressed. The last thing anyone needs is a rush to market solution that is not vetted to the nth degree. For me anyway, when I take the plunge on these big dollar upgrades, I would expect only 100% reliability, support and satisfaction. Will wait as others for the no drama option. So close to finalizing my GEN V purchase.

Thanks again.

Does everything on this site have to devolve into a dick measuring contest?

Thanks very much for giving us what you can Andy. I'll wait 'till they have everything ironed out and do the complete install all at once.

I would win so I stay out of these conversations to let everyone else feel good about themselves.

Absolutely, but honestly everyone needs to prepare themselves for the posibility that it might not ever come to market.

It's a small pond with a sizable number of Alpha fish...it's going to happen.

its tough to disclose every single thing in any statement- maybe all claims should end with, "feel free to ask for details", lol

That's only because you start your measurement at the back of the balls. That's cheating. It's supposed to be shaft length only.

Oh yeah. And I have a Paxton Novi2500 on my Gen 2. So I can say I'm sort of staying on topic.

[ViperPete]

Sounds like VCA in here....

[Disturbed]

It's stuiped to be arguing over a 9sec pass. It would be great to focus that energy into getting a G5 into the 6's.

Lol I agree. Or at least the 7s. 9s are so 15 years ago...
