Once I recover from the cash outlay shock of buying the car on Sat (no payments) I am gonna think about the Akro exhaust. I do NOT plan to mod this car much and want it to stay under warranty. Any idea how much h/p added on a ZR-1? I believe it adds 12-15 on a Z06...

Thanks...
Thanks we try to ship quick...

We did do an Akrapovic install on a ZR1 but did not do before and after dyno. I would guess HP numbers would be similar to the Z06---10HP would be a safe bet....

Jim

P.S Let me know when you are ready, have a Titanium EVO with your name on it

The rumble is awesome. Souds like a big block. I set it up so i can use it from the sunvisor (home link) as well.

You mentioned earlier that if you leave your car sit for weeks like during the winter to put a tender or trickle charger on the battery. I haven't received my M2W yet (just ordered Friday) but it sounds like the install is easy so why not just un-install it while you put your car up for the winter?

Thanks

Good chance your battery was pretty low before you ever installed it..Had your car been sitting for several days before installing?

My Z06 sat for 3 weeks without a charger with the switch installed and it was ok....4 weeks, and it drained it out dry

Keep in mind, the M2W switch draws no more current than a dash clock, very minimal.

Most Vettes will not last more than 4 weeks without the switch installed without a Battery Charger connected up to it.

There is no drain install also which is detailed in the instructions if battery drain is a concern....

Thanks,

Jim

Default You have got to be kidding me!

This was so easy to install. I used a pair of pliers and installed the mild to wild kit in 5 minutes. And I'm not kidding, it was very simple. Thank you for the fast shipping and easy to follow install pdf. I will tell everyone I know about your company and this incredible product. Again Thank you!!!!

Ordered today, sick of pulling the fuse out on occasion. For me, its perfect to enjoy the quiet ride putting around but to be able to kick it on when pulling into a cruise in or show. Thanks!

I didn't have this issue with the Z06.
Get to someone with HP Tuner or similar tuning program. Go to the Clutch Fuel Cut Off settings and move them to 3000 rpm and 80 mph. The problem is the system engages fuel cut off at low rpm and speed and you hear the lean pop when the butterflies are open. Won't cause problems if left stock but it is annoying..

Same issue but I notice that the lean pop completely goes away after car is up to normal operating temperatures.

Out of town and away from my ZR1, so question:
I already have a M2W setup which came with the car (with the foot pedal switch). I am about to install a Curb Alert. If I remember correctly, doesn't the M2W draw power from the seat heater fuse? If so then what fuse location do you draw power for the Curb Alert module?

If the M2W is not connected to the seat heater location then I have no problem. Just figured I would check while thinking about it. thanks.

Hello,
That would be my guess.
Does the light illuminate when you press the button?
