ESS VT2 500 IND Install

It's great to see how this kit suits many different driving styles .

I think even before a full gauge setup you should get a dyno run with full boost and AFR logging. That will tell you a ton and have it in a format you can use to objectively compare to other kit installations. You could be down 50 WHP and not know! My car feels extremely strong but in fact is down 1-2PSI in boost and a bit more in power than even the low boost can justify.

Basically, to me it is the same car with about a 100 more hp of pull. I plan to put headers on it and Eisenmanns sport cans...and that probably will be it other than gauges. Plan to keep it until dead and leave in the will to my son. He was pissed I sold the Viper, but he just doesn't realize how much nicer the drive along the river is in this roadster.

plus, it doesn't feel like the car is about to kill you, even though it runs similar quarter mile times

after i saw the vt1 car run 12.3 on 19s with good tyres, id really believe vt2 with proper tyres would suprise alot of you guys, only problem is i gaurantee it will break something in the rear.

tom.... you guna be dude to try it?? lol

I don't think I'll break anything with street tires... I'm planning to hit the quarter mile soon. I've just been very busy most weekends
