ECP MOD air box testing...

[SUPERTUNER]

We went to the 1/4 mile yesterday (Sunday October 17) To test my MOD airbox against my ECP Air kit.

I'm afraid that the testing did not go well with the MOD airbox. I still have faith in this but I am not ready to release this to the public. Unlike my Air Kits, I have not devoted enough testing time to the MOD airbox. Right now, I have a lot on my plate and would prefer to concentrate on things that are going to bring my customers bigger dividends than these MOD airboxes. My biggest fear is that I will struggle for a long time only to make them as good as the Air Kits.

In theory they are right in line, but like the approximate year I spent testing the air kits, the MOD airbox will require more time in the testing department. All indications show that the MOD airbox can really perform. The jetting is going to have to be HUGE however...which is a good sign for performance as I hate to have to lean carburetion to get an engine to perform. It is much better to have to add fuel to make power than take it away. I have proven once again however that the RX1 Engine is very sensitive to intake mods near the opening (bellmouth) of the carburetors. I do beleieve that a complete custom jet kit is going to be required to get the MOD airbox to perform properly. I am going to put these in the hands of a few select guys that are willing to "suck hind tit" to test them for me. My projects in the shop right now will not allow me to spend the time required to test these the way that my customers and the sleds deserve. Therefore, the need to enlist some help from the outside.

This project is not "dead in the water"...just going to take a little while longer to get them to perform properly. Please don't be angry with me as we always have the Air Kits to sell and they perform great as you all know. Think of this too... During the time I was testing my Air Kits and without you all knowing that the air kits were available, you wern't missing anything. Please try to think of this MOD airbox prgram the same way. Perhaps I let the cat out of the bag a little too early and for that I am sorry if anyone got their hopes too high.

The ECP Air Kits are available for immediate shipment if anyone is intertested.

I will keep you all posted as to the developments on the MOD airbox program.

Thanks for all your patience.

Freddie, it only shows your integirty that you don't come in here and claim that it is the next best thing to sliced bread when it isn't quite ready for prime time yet. When it IS ready, people will now believe it and buy them from you as fast as you can do the MODs!!

Dude, you rule. I wish you the best and I am confident you will make this thing fly. ............Cubby

Freddie,,, Thanks for telling the truth. The best part was when you said ( I am sorry if anyone got their hopes too high ) That was very cool. Im going to run my new RX-1 stock with studs untill the first of January. Then I will buy air mods and clutch kit. I will need to go to 'CPR' first to see what he comes up with because, he did such a great job on our VIPERS. I will keep looking to see what you come up with too. Best of luck to you...Gary.

Keep up the good work Freddie. In a round a bout way, I'm kinda glad the airbox mod didn't woop on your filters. Yet anyway.

ME TOO!!

 

[welterracer]

Just curious... How did the sled do with the ecp filters??

Thanks for your integrity. My uncle spoke pretty highly of your abilities when I mentioned your name btw, and he's been in the sled dragging game for many years. It's also a testament how unpredictable at times the sled modding game can be, how something can look so promising in the "lab", but not translate the same in the real world.

 

[snowsweat]

Thanks for the honesty. It certainly adds to your credibility.

 

[SUPERTUNER]

Thanks for all the understanding. I appreciate all your sentiments.

The air kit worked just like thay all do...well!

In fact it accelerated hard enough to spin the track off the line where with the stock airbox and the mod one, it would not.

P.S. The rocker cover will be done and sent back to you by tomorrow, I will call you, I have a question for ya..................Cubby

 

[BOUNTYHUNTER]

Sounds like the MOD will be a hugh performance gainer once you get all of the bugs out, I guess I better duct tape that hole over till your finished testing

Keep up the great R&D work Freddie

Cubby you dog; what you up to now!, holden out on me with those secret mods!

Ummmmmmm, no mom, I didnt steal any cookies outa the cookie jar.(big fib)

It's really not a secret my friend, the Fredster is doing this head upgrade to my sled called a Stage 2. Thats why he had my sled at his shop to test the mod air box on it. He tested it on my sled before he did my stage 2. At least thats what he is supposed to do, heaven knows what he is doing with my sled over there in Conneticut. Last I heard he dropped paint thinner on my hood right after some chicks were there diggin the ghost flamed hood................Cubby

Any news with the testing. This was a hot topic and then it just vanished or did it move to a different forum. I would love to see the results for this mod in its final form.

 

[wolfie]

rumor has it that someone has been lifting all the chrome off that sled, and all that's left is just a skidframe and a throttle cable.......
