Yeah, there's obviously a lot more HP potential in the paxton kits than roe's...being it's a centrifugal compressor that can potentially flow more CFM's.
Can you please tell us more on this guy?? I live in Maryland myself and am VERY interested in finding and experienced tuner for the VEC II on vipers, if anyone can chime in on this I would be very appreciative...thanks.
You can do it yourself with the software and a wideband. It really isn't that hard to do.
ViperBing, if you did yours, would you be kind enough to talk to me offline via phone? I am a computer nerd, I have the card writers (about 1800 of them in stock-lol) and I purchased the software off of Sean and I have a nice OBDII scanner with the LT and ST fuel gizmos on it, but I guess I need some basic direction on it. I called Sean and left several messages for a call back with Dave on this and to buy some more things, and I never got a call back (only been about 6 weeks-lol), so I was thinking of farming it out to a local tuner, but I would RATHER do it on my own. Anyhow, if you can, please call me at my home office # 856-486-1297 at your convenience and thanks in advance. Gary

You really need a wideband installed to do it right. From there, the directions included with the VEC2 software will get you going. Once you have your wideband installed and have it tapped into the VEC2 so you can log it on the VEC2, send me a PM.
ViperBing: Do you mean the OBDII is the "wideband"? How do I tap that into the VEC II? If you that wasn't what you meant, what do I need to tap into the VEC II? The only other thing I can think of is the O2 lean/air add in, but don't know so I am all ears. I do see the serial connection on the VEC2 and I have a laptop and such, but anyhow like I said before I am lost on where to begin here as you can see-lol. Gary
Sorry to hijack the thread guys-I guess I was trying to get a better post after I put my Nittos on my Viper-lol.
A wideband is a gauge that gives you your true A/F ratio. Companies like innovate and the dynojet wideband commander make different products that do the same basic job. You can then take the data from this and input it directly into your VEC2. This will enable you to log your true A/F ratio into the VEC2 along with a variety of other parameters such as rpms, pounds of boost etc. You can then add or reduce fuel in a selected rpm range to maintain your desired air fuel ratio. You can also add or reduce timing which will have an effect your a/f ratio.
Basically, in order to tune yourself, you really need to install a wideband. Once you can montior your true A/F, you can make an educated decision on how to manipulate the VEC2 for an optimum A/F ratio.

In order to tap into the VEC2, you need a cable that has 2 wires that plug into the VEC2. The other end plugs into your laptop If you don't already have it, Sean should be able to get you one.
