Question tvt 265 gains???

I am very close to purchasing the tvt 265 kit, but I was just curious what kind of real world difference it makes. What kind of cars can you actually mess around with, with the kit? It is either the tvt kit, or a full exhaust and power commander and air filter for the zx14. Pretty close to the same price either way. Any advice is appreciated! Actual time differences like 0-60, or 1/4 mile times, would be great. Thanks chris

this is probably a question commonly asked, but I just wanted to hear some real world gains. What does the additional 50 hp due to this light car? chris

You can feel a difference. I will have mine dyno'd this summer just to know, but it feels faster. I don't track my car, but I drove one without it recently, and that's when I noticed the difference.

good luck getting an answer on how much faster people get the N/A's no one really tells what they have gained. no one with these kits says what their 0-60 is now or their quarter mile times. thats why i havent bought anything yet. im waiting til someone can actually say well i gained this much.... i know everyones gains are diff. but its still good to know what others are getting.

I have no actual experience with the tvt 265 kit, but it seems to me an actual 50hp increase should give you more than a 3/10's improvement in the 1/4 mile.
I mean the NeedsWings CAI (alone) knocks off nearly a 1/2 second in the 1/4 mile, and I'm sure it doesn't create any where near that much of a H.P. increase.

with such a light car 50 hp, has to make a significant improvement, in real world envoirnments. I have a friend at work with a mustang gt. It is the model before they went to the 3 valve engine, and he can hang, but not pass. It would just be nice to here before and after results. I could feel a difference just changing out the air filter on my cobra. which might have been 3-5 hp. chris

my quickest 0-60 so far is 5.75 secs, and that's without the ordered throttle body.

thanks for the comments. I think I might have to wait and see what our crappy economy is going to do. I work for a company that make electronic connectors, for almost any kind of application, including military, and nasa, and things have definately slowed down. And the money I planned on spending this kit, has been going towards new tires for the bike I replaced the back tire, and within 30 miles already had a puncture. and this key issue. Hopefully soon I can get serious about getting the kit. chris

As a word of advice I say sell the bike and throw all the money into the Crossfire. This is a completely impartial opinion. However, if you decide to purchase parts from Needswings or Eurocharge, I retract my statement and say keep the bike.

Just something to think about.

I ran a high 5 second 0-60 according to gtech with my stock red crossfire. What were you running before the tune?
