DML,
Took the R/T out at lunch today with new JET stage II
and 180 stat
installed. My first impression is that the keebler
elves are getting
lazy cause it feels like Im in control now! I guess the
R/T does have a
flat spot at mid throttle because it feels more likse a
carbureted truck
now. The shifts points are around 4850 @ WOT, crisper
but still too
mushy (no replacement for a shift kit!!) SOP dyno says
more power in the
right places. I may have a hook up problem now since a
1600 rpm launch
sent my tires spinning. (couldnt do that before without
really trying).
So far, non quantitative results say the JET module and
stat is worth
it. FYI the stat seems like a very High quality unit ,
but the keen
rubber lip seal they provide doesnt seem to work on the
Dak. I
defaulted to a gasket after I sprayed coolant on my
clean new
engine...turned out the trepanned annulus in the intake
cut the rubber
gasket during install. Hopefully the track tommorrow if
my wifes surf
contest ends in time...
YEEEHaa No more damn elves,
BKBridges

I may be interested in the Stage II version, pending
more info. At
this time, there is no '98 or R/T info on their web
site, and my catalog
request (3 weeks now) has yet to be fulfilled.
Also being on the Impala SS list (NAISSO), I've had
occasion to
monitor various SS owner's opinion of JET, and it is NOT
good. Their
parts always finished last in chip "shootouts",
sometimes actually being
detrimental to HP readings.
From what I can determine, the JET is not actually a
chip, but is an
"interface" device that installs between the wiring
harness and the
computer. This interface contains circuitry to modify
the in/out
signals between the computer and various sensors and
controls.
Personally, I'm not to sure about this type of
technology - it seems a
liitle "hokey" to me, so I'll reserve judgement until
JET or some
trustwothy person on the DML list who can actually check
for
gains/losses with a G-Tech or dyno can provlde more
info. I did see
someone's post on perf numbers (DML#1086) showing no
definite gain.
If you or someone you trust comes up with some actual
HP numbers for
this item, please post them to the DML, I read every
line.
Later,
Russ Selkirk
