True. The engineers designed the car a certain way, and if we start changing things, we could also change the performance in a positive or negative way. This part has been out for a while now, but I've yet to see any really compelling evidence for it.

You missed the two members that did dyno pulls with and without? I rotated the wedge to increase the angle that VR was trying to correct and it definitely made a negative difference, versus installed correctly.

Those pulls were on heavily-modded cars though. Too many variables, IMO.

Not directed at you, but I still don't get why people put their heads in the sand over a relatively inexpensive part that has a money back guarantee including shipping. I decided not to spend my money doing dyno pulls so others can just poke holes in the process. My opinion is people should try it and say yay or nay based on first hand experience.

Maybe I should have just said that my car is so fricken fast now with the wedge I really feel it. Wow! The fact is thus far it has showed no performance gain at the track
If I would have came up with at least similar times I would be OK with it but it was significantly slower. If it does not make improvements at the track then there were no improvements.

Yea....I am not complaining just reporting my findings. So far its just a bunch of people talking trash and no real tests such as a stock car on a dyno or track runs.

Dyno pulls are inconstant also, even when done within mintues of each other. IMO the only true way to determine real gains is on an engine dyno following a strict set of standards for each pull. Chasis dynos are a tuning tool not a testing tool! There is a difference between the two. No one should ever look at a chassis dyno number as an accurate numbers, they are just provide general hp numbers, not accurate hp numbers.

Does that include the car too? I would kick in a few extra bucks for shipping if it does.

There should be another dyno posting this morning done on a stock LS3 wedge versus no wedge.
