Default VR Velocity Stack Track Results Inside

I ran with & without the velocity stack this past weekend. Can you guess which 3 passes were made with it on?

(1) 1.906 8.299 85.44 12.897 107.77
(2) 1.909 8.299 85.23 12.896 107.66
(3) 1.969 8.333 85.23 12.937 107.63
(4) 1.926 8.283 85.40 12.884 107.61
(5) 1.934 8.328 85.36 12.930 107.75

I'll post my initial impressions of the VR stack later, if anyone is interested.

your MPH is similar in all your passes.if you notice youre 3 slowest runs you hooked slightly worse too which id have to say was more of a factor.


im not defending this part im just going by what youve posted.

Do you have any pictures? Does it replace the entire manifold?

All of the 107.6x runs, I bet.

The stack isn't a manifold, it's just this plastic insert that goes in your TB and restricts your flow.

So what's the damn answer? Those runs are too consistant to make a difference IMO.

That's exactly what I was thinking. It didn't help BUT it didn't hurt either (at my power level). But for the record, runs 1, 2, & 5 were made with it on. My 60 ft times got worst as the night went on because the VHT started wearing out.

FWIW, I only ran one tankful of gas so far since putting on the stack. I saw a small improvement in mpg. Throttle response is the same. The only noticeable improvement is the better pull during no-downshift acceleration.

Damn, where's that 0.2 sec improvement!!! LOL

All the mph are the same.

No difference.

the quicker times are a direct result of the velocity stack emptying the excess cash in his wallet, therefore making his car slightly lighter!

Ha!

I'd say either way what ever the thing is, it makes little difference.

But! Is it tuned for it?

Haha, you wanna hear more funny things..... I use the HPP3 tuning AND get this... I have a Flowmaster catback!!!

Seriously, I just wanted to test this thing out for myself. There was too much speculative talk being thrown around that can mask the products benefits. I wanted something that improved throttle response and gas mileage. Well, it appears that I might get at least one of those improvements (gas mileage, small improvement as it may be, still an improvement). The improved "dead-spot" acceleration is nice too. So, since it didn't hurt my track numbers, on it stays!

I hope this helps others out there considering this product. That dyno graph in their advertisement sure doesn't help!

"I got a NOS setup yesterday. Me and my buddy took today off work to get a jump on installing it to enjoy this weekend. The problem is that we cant get a good seal to keep the gas from spillin out of the tank where we drilled the hole for the NOS injection. I bought my setup used from some dude that is always at my tat shop, so it doesn't have directions.

Tried silicone glue and hot glue but the gasoline spilling always keeps the glue from setting up. What do I do?

PM me if you can help" <- Is that **** for real? Where in the hell did you find that? I know... off topic, but I couldn't help but ask.

Any dude that uses an avatar from Clockwork Orange can't be all that bad! Maybe I'll start using cousin Kevin as an avatar from the movie Tommy.
