VEC 2 benefits?

[V10SpeedLuvr]

I have mostly stock 96' RT/10 (see signature) thats going to stay mostly stock. Would it benefit me to buy a VEC 2 (or even a VEC 1)? What exactly does a VEC do?

I put one in my '97, and after proper tuning, gained about 25hp. tuning is key, so the air/fuel is just right, otherwise benefits are not material.

I agined about 25hp at the first tune but then I gain power after every mod I add (I get it re-tuned) and to date that Vec 2 has givin me ALOT of power (and more to come) without a doubt its my favorite mod to date.

its a great way to completly tune your car, timing,spark,a/f ect. Get it you will not regret it because it will keep making power with every mod (if you have a good tuner)

Good luck

The VEC1 did improve performance on my 2001 GTS with K&Ns and Smooth Tubes, the LED display permits "DIY" tuning while driving.


The VEC2 has greater tuning capabilities but does not have an A/F gauge and cannot be tuned while driving. You can have a Tuner dial it in, $300-500$, or purchase a wideband monitor for about $400, and street tune it yourself.


As for the HP difference with your present and future mods...if you consider the total cost the VEC1 is a better value.IMHO If you want an honest answer on actual HP numbers call ROE.

Do you need to have a dyno to tune it?
Also do they dial it in for you based upon you mods (whre you buy it from)?

VEC1 and VEC2 is a Roe Racing product.

A Dyno tune is not necessary. To tune it yourself requires the VEC2 software, which is supplied, and a wideband A/F monitor linked to the VEC2.It helps to have a closed track (LOL) to make test runs similar to Dyno pulls.


Sean Roe is very helpful in dialing it in.

sean will help ya out but its better to bring it to a dyno for tuning.
