...not to mention its significantly cheaper than a VF34 or VF30 new. Older techonology maybe, but worth the money.

Awesome pics...
Very insightful, because that's what I plan on doing down the road.
A friend of a friend did a VF22 also and had Vishnu tune it via EcuTek and had very impressive numbers - even had several maps [switchable via defroster button]. I think he was running around 22 psi or more in the 'maxed mode.'

Good luck with your tuning!

Yeah if I could I would get a Vf22. Not to much more lag than a Vf34 and also cheaper. So how does it feel on the highway, much more top end?

The green brackets weren't that bad with the right tools, and angled ratcheting wrench, will save the day. I tried to take them out with a regular wrench and it would not work, the angled one was perfect.

It pulls so hard I let out the throtle. I have not raced anyone yet, just making sure everything works fine. It's been great for 2 days. Tomorrow I'm driving to lakeland, so I'll open it up a little more

There are steel "safety" brackets around the injectors. They are convoluted and a notorious pain in the ass to remove.

Sounds like you got a callout David We went to Orlando the last few times, so I think is time to make a special trip to Tampa this Sat. What do you think?
