All I have ever said about the VTC, is with the tune I have, i have not felt the need for any more response. I have been very very happy with it.

Will is working on some testing with myself to up it even more...and it almost seems too much.

No, i have not used a VTC. For the simple reason I have not felt that I needed it.

I still enjoy my VTC, keep it between 5 and 6. If i had a stick, i may not feel the need as much, but with my auto i definitely feel a difference. Of course i personally feel i lose some response from the 3800 converter.

There's a good chance you might hit 300rwhp or very close. You have more bolt-ons now than previously when people were trying to hit that 300 mark. Some were getting as high as mid 290's rwhp with less that was available at the time.

This is going to be some great info.
Thank you for sharing and for your time and costs.

I should be over already on gas.

But the first post explains everything that I am doing. 91 gas, all bolt ons, tune, then doing part by part against each other so people can see what really makes a difference, and what does not.

Oh yeah. This place is all setup for that.

and, heat soak is part of day to day driving, so it will show real world (mostly) as opposed to hero runs.

Lol, true.

It should be a good time. Got a C5 member, and two of my buddies who are local tech's coming down with me to help with the parts swapping so I can handle the computer/flashing side.

That's kinda redundant, isn't it? Sorry San!

Can't wait Derek! This will be a wealth of information for the v-6 crowd. Major props for the time, money, and effort your gonna put into this. I feel like we should take up a collection to get you and you buddy's a case or two of beer for the effort that lots of people are going to benefit from!

C'mon it's a Ford guy posting on a Chevy forum....where's your sense of humor?

and why are you apologizing?

Shawno72 · 07-13-2016, 08:04 PM

Ok back on topic. It'll be nice to compare all the mods as you go. I think there will a couple that will surprise even the self represented experts

Hey, I gave him the zinger at first, that's the humor, then let him know it's not personal, just a little zing. Besides the guys catching it from everyone, if you think we get crap for driving a v-6, couldn't imagine driving a ford, especially one with 5 doors!

Lol I guess you got a point. Lately I haven't gotten any crap. Especially while I keep up with the v8s and beat most all the v6s that choose to run. Hear me now, I'm not aggressive to race but I seem to be attracting them lately and I am quite pleased with how the car is performing. Will and his tune is amazing paired with the rest of the mods. And that's been on gas, on e85 there little contest but from the v8s and even then if they spin there tires I'm gone lol

I just can't belive the v8 bashing going on here. You guys should be more condiderate of other people's feelings.
