Jet Performance V-force

I saw this product on Custommaxima.com, and wouldve never spent 250 on it, but i ran into a kid a party w/ one that used to be on a 98 max that he totaled. He gave it to me for free, and I have some questions about it that I was hoping someone here could answer.

1) I dont think it matters, but the switch from 98-my 2000 max shouldnt be a prob right? same engine, only little different

2) Anyone have any experience w/ this product, Good gains, harmful to the engine, anything along those lines? I searched the forum, and it was mentioned once in a race video, but no insight.

3) Anyone have any instructions available as he has lost his in the past 2 years since he totalled the max?

Thanks in advance, and info is greatly apreciated!

this is news to me too. Power tuner? They are out there, but i didnt think for us. We are stuck with the V/S-AFC and the Emanage. Ive never heard of anyone using a laptop tuner.

You have a lot to learn.

I can also go full throttle from idle to redline by flooring the pedal.

Joel isnt spouting off this information because he has a dislike for CM or JetChip. People on this site have tried this chip, dyno tuned, etc, and the gains were minimal or not even there. Search around 5th gen, youll find it. If you want a "chip" your only option is the Technosquare ECUs, the regular or the L-Tune i think it is. As far as tuning goes, again its just the S/V AFC and Greddy Emanage.

Please leave this forum. You know nothing about what you're typing, so instead of humiliating yourself any further, just leave.
