Plenty of tread. ) The difference between stock and the car with the Roe is day and night. You also need to have it installed and adjusted by someone like The Wizard who has extensive experience with the system. Sean installed mine. You should discuss the fuel distribution issue with Sean or Chuck to make sure that the rich issue to #10 cylinder has been cured. I think it has but I am not sure. Check. Also, check to make sure that the weather sensitive issues have been cured. The system, from a visual point of view, is the best. People will go nuts when you open your hood.
Any VEC box with firmware update 5.108 and a box number 682 or higher has all the tools for proper cylinder trim. Our 00 car was box number 715 bought in 3/06. so I guess it safe to say that the rich back cylinder issues have been resolved for almost 3 yrs. Our 00 blower was a 6th production run unit which also had the intake box modified from original for this problem as well. Our 01 car has the 1st production run blower on it. All our plugs burn the same.

The weather issue was addressed with the VEC 3. VEC 2s can be upgraded. It's not perfect, as the IAT temp and SC charge air temp are not linear. Using a WB for tuning, this becomes a relative number for AFR. I think it works quite well. I have one card now...good for 30F to 100F.

Do you get that nice whistle sound? Is there any buttons to push when driving an all-stock car with roe 5 pound?

My viper fishtails now,I'd hate to imagine? with the SC on it

RedSnake-lol. I want more power soon! yes,yes,yes....
At 1200 RPM is where there is a nice little whistle. There are some clips out there which have a ROE SC car coming at the camera at speed. Sounds like a jet engine.
