Tapped for about 5000 miles,untapped for about 3000miles,because of Catcher,don't want to stress the vp and i am quite happy running the Catcher without the special version. ( comp is still hooked up in EZ mode/turned off, just incase of problems and i have to change back to stock---still need a boost fooler with the larger sticks). I also run lots of additive(power service here too)-----PS---MUNDGYVER,how do you like those centramatics,do they work,worth the $$$,i am thinking about a set ,just want an honest opinion. THANKS---DW

 

[Mundgyver]

The Centramatics are great My tires are wearing even and the ride is smooth. I have had them on now for around 40,000 and I am a believer. I just wish they made them for smaller cars

OK I don't mean to Hi-Jack the thread but what are Centramatics

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

168,000 on original VP44, tapped at 28,000. I have one of the early failure prone VP44's too (June build 98). I've been running mine at a peak 70% duty cycle since 65,000 miles now (max out of the box duty cycle for TST's pm3 comp box is 65% - mine is custom at 70%).
