SS_bnoon_SS Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 ? how do you feel, or get throttle response from a dyno ??? the answer lies in calculus. Or the derivative of a line. In laymans terms. The area under the curve. The more area under the dyno graph the more "throttle response" and the quicker you can bring up torque. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The answer does not lie within calculus, rather within fluid dynamics. The ability to increase the velocity of the fluid air from a standing or steady flow rate... then take into account that an engine is not a steady pump, so tha air moves in pulses that increasingly get closer together as RPM increases... Bore/stroke/distance/plenum volume all have something to do with it, but calculus does not, except in plotting the line you see on the dyno graph.

BenKey Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Sounds like calculus to me, if someone wanted to figure out what all the equations were, but who really cares enough? Bottom line is, does it work? It won't be something that I waist my money on - that I know. For all the theory in the world don't mean jack if can't produce on the track. Or street. I'm sure that someone will feel the need to theorize it to death. One thing is for sure - it's not an item typically mentioned when people list mods after they post dyno results - that is for certain. If it were such a great piece, then every T, D, and H, would have one just to make sure someone didn't beat them at the track or dyno, by that 1 or 2 hp, or .1 of a second - another certain. Let's ask Parish if he uses it. I'm sure it helped him top 1000hp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just tryin to throw us off you trail so that you and Parish can be the only ones. I see through your smoke cloud... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z06 DREAMING Posted August 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Well if it's even a concern anymore I have no interest in the POS. If by now there hasn't been positive feedback results enough for persuasion it's a no go. Thanks for the theories and what not but I'll just keep saving for a Radix. Or maybe get a Tornado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thallent Posted October 16, 2005 Report Share Posted October 16, 2005 I had a chance to try the velocity stack whithout buying it. I ran it in my truck for about 100 miles. The truck appeared to have better mpg's on the same route to work. Anyways I went to the track yesterday. With the stack in I ran a [email protected] and a [email protected] and 60' of 2.336 and 2.320. I wasn't too happy with these times so between the second and third runs I took out the stack. The third run i ran a [email protected] with a 2.188 60'. Run 1 1:07 pm temp 72 relative humidity 41 absolute barometer 28.10 Run 2 2:36 PM temp 72 relative humidity 39 absolute barometer 27.99 Run 3 4:01 PM temp 68 relative humidity 39 absolute barometer 27.99 Anyways I thought I would just tell about my experience with the vr velocity stack. I think I am going to keep it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
