Another round of Praises to John Vitesse!!!
First off, may I say that customer service the level of what John delivers is unheard of nowadays in any market. No matter when you shoot him an email, you will have a response that day, if not almost instantly. Customer service alone puts him ahead of a lot of other vendors but his products are awesome as well. I installed his MAF and chipboard to match up with my setup(listed in sig) With the MAF set up that was on the car when I bought it you could get second gear to chirp the tires a little scratching for traction..... With the Vitesse setup I cannot keep traction if I get into boost in second gear. The car is a completely different animal with the Vitesse MAF.
I just want to say that if anyone is even considering getting a new MAF and software that Vitesse is the first and last place you need to look, my car idles perfectly and spools faster than it did before. Now I just need a lsd to try and cure the traction problems, but those are good problems to have in my opinion.
I can't wait to get the car on a dyno this spring to see what the numbers look like.I just wanted to share my Vitesse story, I will get some pics of the car and set up on here as soon as it quits snowing in PA.

It is a tough life driving a 951 every day... I was until I parked her because of an annoying oil leak that was getting worse, oh and the alternator blew... Now she is sitting waiting for a little warmer weather for the motor to come out...
Again, good stuff... enjoy her...

The car had a Lindsey stage 2 maf and power perfect piggyback when I got it with 55lb injectors and had idleing issues to say the least. I think it would have been extremely tough to get it to idle with the 83lb injectors. So, I sold that and was thinking about parting the car out when mr koawood, lol offered up some injectors he had and pointed me in the direction of a huntely maf as a cheap way to just get the car running(at that point I was still thinking about selling it once I got it running). With that set up I could not get the car to idle at all cold(very very rich). Finally I got frustrated enough to order up the Vitesse MAF and I could not be happier so far, Like I said the car feels like a brand new car, the power is just unbelievable.

I have the LR MAF II with the Mafterburner Piggyback and my car idles perfectly. I have 65 lb injectors - I'm curious why the HUGE injectors (83 lb) -
Unless you are running 35+ lbs of boost.... aren't they way overkill ?
I guess that brings up a question for John Vitesse - why do you recommend the 83 lb injectors with your Stage II kit ? They seem to be way oversized for the horsepower range (320 - 350 rwhp) ???? No question that your stuff works, I am just curious what the reasoning is behind it.

Yeah I don't know what was up with the car, but all I changed was the MAF and chipset and now she runs perfect. I got the 83lbers because I got them for a steal of a deal, plus if I wanna go bigger I already have the injectors to support the turbo.
