  • Review: HSRK good product, late xmas gift

    Brand: Vector
    Price: Unkonwn - Present (belive 100 plus shipping)
    Purchased From: Christmas Gift


    Installation: Easy
    Installation Time: 10 mins
    Any Installation Tips You Have: I found putting inside of the tip of the air filter cone worked well

    Quality of Part: (rate 1-10) 10
    Product Performance: (rate 1-10) 10
    Would you Recommend to Others: Most defintily. This is a good "tuning" product and I wouldnt recomend it as your first mod to your car, but one when you have extra money and say your CAI and PCM tunning are done. I am shocked to see the heat soak cut back when I had it plugged into the Dash Hawk. I never expected this much cut off and more acurate readings from the IAT now

    Any Other Comments:
    A best friend of mine didnt get me anything for christmas yet, he was there in my car when I got the dash hawk when did 0-60 runs on christmas. My car was capitable of hitting it in 5.81 seconds on a 43 degree day, HOWEVER, the IAT was in the 50s if I remember correctly. On that same 43 degree day when I got heat soak, I had IATs of 95-110 and 0-60 was 6.6-6.8 seconds. Absolutly uncalled for esp on a 43 degree day. He bought me the Vector HSRK as a late Xmas gift. All said and done, my adverage was 12-15 degrees above the outside temp on the stock IAT. Now my IAT is from 1-8 degrees of the outside temp. Other night the temp was 31 and my adverage temp was 33 on the IAT. Still get ovously heat soak from sitting, like start up was 80 degrees BUT instead of 114 when I popped back in the stock IAT the other night on the 31 degree night for a read.
    Now on the claim of 10x faster reads then stock I think is a little exaduated. I will def give it about 2-3 times faster then the stock unit. However, in fairness I dont have any charts to compare it to in stock, only my judgement.
    Please remember, this product is to help maintain loss HP from heat soak. Not to give any additional HP over what the engines performance is already.

    So has it made your 0-60s more consistent?

      Seems like it when I did a few runs on thursday and friday but didnt have time to load the 0-60 program. Then unfortinally due to the snow-ice we got here I couldnt run it this weekend. But the IAT temp is much more consistent, so it should transalate over. Hopfully next weekend will be nice and I can make runs and post it.

          So far till now, the dash hawk has been telling me that the HSRK is still staying with in an average of 2-4 degrees of the outside temp. And the heat soak has cut down alot. Still after the car sits for an hour ater driving the IAT is 113 degrees or so, as with the factory it took about 10 mins to get with in 30 degrees of the out side temp, now in 5 mins am with in 20 degrees of the out side temp ussally and in 10 mins with in 5-10 degrees. So there is a decent temperture cut down.

            Installed mine from Vector yesterday. All I can say is AWESOME!!!
            Take it from someone who monitors his intake temps
            (CRABS, Ram Air, Snorkle...etc)
            I can see a big diference here.

            Sooooooooooooooo worth it.

            My butt dyno hasnt felt a difference but I can see it in my dashhawk.
            My car soooo loves me right now.

            On the beer scale I give it 6 beers (out of a sixpack)

              I just answered you under ram air if you had a vector IAT or not
