Mild2wild switch

Has anybody dealt with the mild2wild switch from nakidparts.com looks interesting but I am cautious as they only take paypal and don't list a phone number. May not be an issue but figured I'd CYA. Thanks

M2W is a great mod IMO (love mine), and very common in the corvette world.

Call him, but don't fall for him using his best "Amanda" voice. He will have you ordering all kinds of things. He's sneaky like that!

"Kman, I think you would be so sexy in a new set of headers, and these new coilovers, I mean, you sound so 'hot' on the phone".

I know, now I have a S/C !

Yeah, while researching these switches, I saw one designed for a corvette built into the dead pedal. So you could control with a foot tap while driving. Would want it there or tied into my homelink switch

Not so Wild

I installed mine. It's in perfect and car runs fine.

But, I don't see this huge difference.

When should I hear it? Between 2000 to 3000 Rpm , on the highway or around town. I may have been expecting too much.

When it's on, the NPP system works same as stock. Flap doesn't open until above 3k rpms.

When it's off, the NPP system doesn't receive power to engage the flap so it should sound louder even when just cruising.

That fooled me when I first added mine. Easy way to see the difference is to drive up a slight incline at about 2500 rpm's and switch back and forth. Easy to tell the difference.

yeah, I hear it now, it's just the marketing was better than the delivery.

'Mild to Wild'?
