thought that could be the case:) I hope it works:) I would listen to cwic. Hes been around a monty longer than me so he would know the ins and outs of these sweet vehicles.

I would not leave it at that. I would find out what the cell was. Also, give more detail about how you did it so others can try if interested. You would not necessaraly need a dyno to measure results. You could do a couple of 0-60 timed runs with and without the jet to see if there is any diff in your times. That is what I did till I found a dyno. I will post the installation process as soon as I'll have some time and as soon as weather gets better in Kuwait (for the last week or so we've been having sand and dust storms). Will try to do some 0-100km/h runs too.

Well...I kind of just lolly gag around the internet for hours on end after work...then run across random things that spark my interest...and voila! We have parts for our trucks! I shall try this more often, any special parts requests? lol..

Ok i am interested also. Please any one who does this go to a dyno and have the truck tuned to see what it does. I have a car chip and a safc that I use to monitor and tune respectively but this will allow me to do both at once and possibly have some ignition timing. Since i just spent so much on the heads I cant be the first to test this out so someone please jump on it and post before and after dyno results. Nativa is this the one you got? also have you done any 0-60 runs yet? post up! Clay

well, since i have had the reprogran done on the ecu I cannot do it. Hopefully someone will try it and post some dyno runs!

I don't want to get one till I know a bit more about, It would be a nice addition to a stock motor. I have the SCT programer for my Stang, with all my other engine mods that thing kicks arse, very worth the money invested in it.

Hi guys, sorry for not replying for such a long time.... I was changing job, studying and I have a 2 year old... many things to do I haven't done dyno yet.... they charge arm & a leg here in Kuwait and i haven't had spare cash. the V-Force is been working fine, as i said before: in my opinion it added some power, not much... but it feels like the car is picking-up the speed better and throtel response is better too. but at the moment I'm experiencing some problems... don't know if it has to do anything with V-Force or not. Just today my car started stalling/jerking while I was driving on a highway. usually V-Force shows: MAP- 82% and FUEL- 18%, but today when it was jerking it showed: MAP- 61-71 % and FUEL- 39-29%.... First thing I will try is to reset the ECU, maybe that will help.... Best regards from dusty Kuwait Val

I would say that it is the v-force. When I got my ecu back from jet it was pig rich. Jet programs to run rich because they bump the timing so high. When you get a chance Nativa look at your timing. Mine raerly goes below 25 at cruising speeds and goes as high as 42. If you are seeing negitive numbers for the fuel the ecu pulling fuel because it is so rich. I would take it back and to answer maxpower, if I were to reccomend anything for a ecu type mod it would be a stand alone or at the least a safc to be used with a fuel pressure regulator. I will be selling my safc soon because I will be having a piggyback installed. My reason for this is my JET reprogramed ecu overides the safc and I cannot get my timing below 30 at full throttle. Also neither the jet or the safc allow me to make changes in closed loop where a piggyback will. I need to be able to do this to help get my mpg's back to an acceptable level. Clay

sorry for my ignorance cwic, but what is 'timing' and how do I check it?
thanx

By timing i mean ignition timing. Technically I cant really explain it. My ECU shows advanced timing which I think means the ignition spark is advanced before the piston reaches Top Dead Center but how much earlier the 25 or 42 percent is than normal I dont know. I think I had read that the jet can monitor your ignition timing. Clay
