So, that video... just not feeling it at all. It looks like a NOPI commercial or and advert for a car show... IMO it does not showcase the product at all other than how the install looks. But if your marketing to the car show, "im so low i gotta hit 10 degree drops at 45 degrees so i don't get hung on my herra functional splitter yo" crowd then your on the right track

Great product, terrible video

I have NOTHING against you guys, this is constructive feedback.

I see the power figures and IMHO they are deeceiving because everyone looks for WHP WTQ numbers and might be misled buy this. I would either list the Wheel power, or add Crank HP Crank TQ.

Awesome video nonetheless.

They had stock 200 vs blow 294. Nothing deceptive about that.

I felt like this was a preparation video for the ice cream cruise. I personally would have turned off the music and paused the video as each car was pulling out of the parking lot and gave a list of mods and whp/wtq numbers.

But in the video they posted stock numbers at the crank as well. So its all good.

I wish I could have heard more car sounds :/

Makes me want to put my hat on backward and cruise the mall parking lot, yo.

How about the next video showing what the system actually does for the car?

SnapOv3st3r · 05-11-2013, 09:14 AM

Wow...tough crowd.

Welcome to the FI section. "WHERE'S THE DYNO HURR DURR"
"DYNO VIDEO HURR" "HOW MUCH BOOST DURR" "Y U NO TRACK"

/slight sarcasm

Well, in all fairness, since this is a forum for power adders, wouldn't it be nice to see the added power actually being used? Hard parking and cruising isn't exactly what a supercharger is made for. About halfway through that video I was expecting one of those guys to hang his steering wheel out of the window....almost forgot, yo.

True true. LMAO lets not get THAT thread started again....

AllDayJonRay · 05-22-2014, 11:05 AM

Holy thread revival:

Yawn...

I'd show you some vids but unfortunately you won't like the result of the last track day (BW) nor the baby-ing of the unit with more proficient drivers than I at thill and sow.

In short, you plan on running the V3 at the track, don't. V2 unit, idk...seems like a car fetch for me to pay more rather than be informed properly.

So did your issues wind up being hardware or was it tuning?

Hardware.

Can I blame the tuner for smoothing out the ruff edges when I took over the car, maybe. But I can't seem to blame him for bearing issues, intermittent up noise (bearing "just needs to be pushed in" unquote), and the up charge I will endure to either rebuild or upgrade.
