Working mods and proof

**Stav** · 14-04-2005, 08:08 AM

Hi. I was wondering if we can have a data base section for people who have done mods and their before and after results? I think that many mods and results dissappear in time and can be a great reference. Results may be timeslips or dynos. Preferably put strict rules so people are banned from arguing. Most of those that argue dont have before and after proof to prove otherwise.
I think it will be agood guide for all members and a drawcard for the forum.
What does everyone think?

very good idea mate - maybe not just performance mods...

I think we could all use it as a reference and then make a decision based on our experiences and not sellers.A great example is caspers chip challenge.Before after and then we can make a decision.Each person who does the test can say either they are happy or not as well.

lol...I'll never do another "chip challenge" style thing if I can avoid it. It was a lot harder than the final article shows and damn, it was painful removing it all. I had to end up buying a chip as you soon find you cant live without it.

We dont have to go into that detail but it would be nice to know and compare. We talk about who has the best spark plugs but no dyno proof.We talk about cold air intakes and that we love them but wheres the times or proof ?

Yep, they work. I wouldnt consider not having one now. The difference is very noticable.

useless, the problem is...
u can't just slap 'the best of the best' together and hope for a good result.
thats what makes the JMM kits work.
just because someone posts they gained 20rwkw from extractors (and prove it) doens't mean that someone else who has a aftermarket camshaft, or a CAI setup, etc will have the same gains.

I agree with you EF FALCON. But I must say that I am doing real life testing on various items and I am absolutely shocked at the initial test results. I suppose that if I am putting in the time and money that it may very well be a good idea to leave people believe all of the hearsay.My car has been doing 0-100 in 8.3 secinds at best.Now I have gone down to 7.35 best time with 45 minutes of r&d . I am so confident in what I am doing that in 1 month I do believe that my car will be in the 6 second bracket.Not by using internet guessing calculators but real times. I even have a chance of low 6 second 0-100 times.

well be sure to post results
