I used the stock spec of 16 ft lbs, but it was impossible to get the torque wrench on some bolts.
There have been posts about Belanger gasket failures.
If you are installing the Belanger gaskets be certain to retorque after several heat cycles.
Goldie I don't normally post in this forum but when I saw your pictures I just had to comment. You brought back memories of when Woodhouse delivered my 2001 GTS and those :) :) :) are priceless.
BTW my neighbors first comment when the trailer side door was opened was, "why do you need...
There have been posts that some Hen cars made no more power on a dyno than a stock Viper.
So does the Hen sticker mod loose it's effectiveness over time?
and IMHO the software should come with a wideband system as well.
Sean would probably do better if he supplied the software free and then charge $95/hr for tuning support, but he does not.
The value of unlimited no charge tuning support far exceeds the cost of the VEC software and it...
Please be aware that some of these are A/F gauges that connect to the stock O2 sensor. That will not provide useful information for tuning.
Also verify that the VEC will read the output of the gauge you select. I know Innovative and DynoJet work. Check with Roe or the VCA forum about the other...
Look here under downloads VEC2 3.50 zip. Not sure if this a demo program or Sean is now giving it away. It was about $100 and that included the serial cable and pigtails for your inputs. There is enough there to get familiar with how the program works.

Beginners can log and save the data then E mail the info to a VCA forum expert or to Sean Roe. The fuel/timing tables will be modified and returned by Email. You load that into the VEC and do another logging run and compare the results.
Compare the tables from each tune to get the hang of what...
1. How many folks actually purchased and use the VEC software package?
- Did you end up using your own, self configured set-ups over the stock cards?
The card supplied with the first W/M systems did not work for my car. Street tuning was necessary.
- Big improvement?
Oh Yes
- Did that result...
Re: Need verification on LC-1\'s to VEC3
Naming the inputs, either slave or master, is done on the log settings page.
Roe's latest software will permit A/F logging on ANY of the analog inputs.
I have TPS and external MAP on slave and A/F on master so it's easier to remember.
So can you...

Oh man the good ol days. I drove a 70 Dart Swinger 340 4 speed car back in the 70s and that car was a screamer. But a Hemi with glass fenders, hood :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: and other lightweight stuff must be real scary.
Re: Don\'t be me...
I agree with Viper Spray. After getting a great deal on your next car, regardless of the miles, BUY NEW TIRES. My 2001 GTS handling changed dramaticaly after replacing the 5 year old rubber(4Kmi) with new PS.
The Belangers are supplied with a turn out pipe that connects between the collectors and your present exhaust system. The flex pipe gets tossed.
Don't know about the other makes.
Define LOUD. :confused:
The meaning is different for each of us. To help with your decision go to a VCA meet and listen to the variety of systems.
BTW owned a stock 70 Hemi Challenger/SE (yellow) in the early 80s. :2tu:
after reading your original post on this I thought we were ripped off in a BIG way.
However $500 is slightly less than the cost of our setup, without the operator. The door mod took 1 man most of the day. The installer had to find a one day slot in his schedule and that took awhile.
The 11'...
Nice color combination :2tu:

i found a local garage installer and he will be out tomorrow to advise the best way to proceed. will post what the end result is after i get home from the office.
What was decided on the garage door and operator mods??
Were the tracks special ordered...
Installed in the Corsa 3" tail pipe with 1 SS nut and bolt for each. With Belangers and their hiflo cats it was too loud. The cones made it just right from idle to about 2K rpms.
The digital salute (middle finger) may help in some situations. :eek:
inserted these near the exhaust tips. (3" size)

With the Roe, Belanger headers, hi flo cats and Corsa these quieted the exhaust just right, at cruising and idle.
