RE: My .02
By Ross - 05/14/2003 6:59:02 AM; IP 12.81.180.248
I agree with the benefit of weight, however, in my case, my most alarming change was on an equally heavy vehicle.

I have ran the Performer, or in better description, modified a few for customers, but on my own truck, .040 over 390, 9.5:1, 280H cam, headers, 600 Holley, truck 4 speed and get this 35 inch tires aith a 3.50 gear. Believe it or not, this truck with a PI (or even now with a modded Street Dominator) will chug down to almost zero rpm and pull like a mule up to 5500.

From a PI to a Brand new Performer (PI had cracked in the crossover) I lost so much mid range and gained zero noticeable low end, although admittedly I never dynoed. This is a day after the $300 purchase way back when so belive me I wanted it to work LOL

I ended up sending the PI out to be repaired THAT DAY, and as soon as it showed back up I put it back on the truck and gained all my power back.

That Performer is still on our shop truck, a 390 4x4 pickup, so I dont think they are junk, but like I said before, the technology is old tech, computer design has allowed the RPM to give you all the Performer can and more, I would only use the Performer for weight saving.
This thread, so far...
