Man this is what I'm talking about, you don't know who I am or what experience I have yet you say I understand nothing about the Viper's Specs. I have all your posts here about your modifications and I will list them. First, I just want to mention that if the car was lean, it would not pass the ARB test. But I guess your the expert and I am not. So these are a few things about you...
On 4/26/04 under the post "Is anyone running just straight pipes out their exhaust system?" you wrote "I have the B&B set up with 3" canisters type straight through (no cats) design...
On 1/06/04 under the post which was started by you "I am now able to program my own computer on my SC system!" you wrote "Can't wait to play around with it on the dyno! I have full control of air/fuel and timing!" another post shows "I needed something that I could advance timing and the software I obtained will work."
On 1/08/04 under the post which was started by you "can this make you run lean on force induction engines?" you said "If you have no cats will that contribute to running lean since there is no back pressure?"
On 2/14/04 under the post which was started by you "I need help on this topic of fuel and force induction" you wrote "..I have installed my own paxton supercharger and love it to death besides the tuning part. That part I am learning as I go....I was dissappointed in my dyno results...but that is because my car needs major tuning...I have a **** alcohol injection system on my car...My car is running lean and I also have a smaller pulley on it..."
I can have some well respected tuners post on here about you but I think this should be enough to show the rest of you what ab is all about.
Hey Steve Padfield for a marketing director, I would go seek other employment because you basically **** at what you do.
Yes, I have B&B cat back set up with no cats which I told Kelly about and he said "no problem on that and use the 8:1 disk." I would be okay with that mod. So I trusted him.
I found out I have the Split Sec Computer that would be able to control the injectors and timing. I understood that you would have to mod the Map which I have not done due to not wanting to mess with any warranty issues. I don't know anything about how that works. When I found out that these are things that would need someone with understanding, then I left it alone. But in stock Paxton Kit form, you don't need the A/F ratio part of the box to be used according to the instructions. THe only part you utilize is the timing map and also the voltage outputs.
Yes I have a water/**** injection system on my car which will not cause the car to run lean in boost situations. I did that because of lack of fuel under boost situations with your cheap ass kit. No I do not have a smaller pulley on it after I found out that would void my warranty and cause my car to run even more lean than what your paxton kit does already I LEFT IT ALONE.
Please have these well respected tuners post some things on here. I wish you would do that. I would love what they have to say about me or your kit.
One thing I know is you avoid the question of what your basic kit is all about you can try to discredit me all you want, but I'm not the only person in this boat. Yeah you can have other turners richen up this kit, but you advertise this kit a turn key kit that you can do yourself.
WHY DON'T YOU EXPLAIN WHY THE 2000-2002 VIPERS ARE SO MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE 1996-1999 VIPERS AND HOW IT WON'T WORK ON THOSE YEARS. Also explain on how you max out the stock fuel system to where it could go static and go kaboom. Why don't you explain the heat soaked issues that the kit will expirence in hot summer weather with your little mustang heat exchanger you used for the viper and a small oil cooler that will not cool the charge off. I can go on and will.
So Stevie "I don't give a rat's ass about any customers that have issues" because from what history shows, paxton just say's "no" and doesn't own up to mistakes you maKe or take responsibilty for it.
ANYONE CONSIDERING DOING A PAXTON KIT, I WOULD AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE! GO WITH A ROE SET UP WHO DOES CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE NOVI 2000 CHARGER IS NOT A BAD CHARGER IT'S THE KIT THAT THEY PRODUCED WITH CHEAP PARTS AND CHEAP CUSTOMER SERVICE.
STEVE, I WOULD'NT BE SPENDING MY TIME TRYING TO DISCREDIT ME, BUT MAYBE GO DO YOUR JOB AND MAKE CUSTOMERS HAPPY. GO DO YOUR JOB! IF I WANTED THIS KIND OF SERVICE, I WOULD HAVE GONE TO ARBY'S WHICH AT LEAST THEY HAVE A PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE TRAINED IN CUSTOMER SERVICE THAN YOU're YOUR COMPANY!
You're title and position means nothing to me since you don't do your job!
