Man I read Sal's reply to your complaint.
He did respond stating that your loss was more than likely due to weather\track\Driver?
conditions. The time loss may not be directly related to the filter install.
Maybe the Mass Air sensor is\was dirty or misaligned. I think you are making a mistake
personally but it's a free country.
Funny you are willing to sell this "piece of crap" to someone else for almost exactly what you paid for it. Sal was fair and responded to our complaint. If you feel adamantly that the filter is bad ask for an exchange or just accept something must be blamed and you have come to realize that it is not conditions or a poor launch but most importantly It is not you that is to blame....

 

i thought the "piece of crap" was his truck

 

I'm glad I'm not the only one irritated by his precipitous remarks.

 

When he said "piece of crap" I thought to myself. Do I really want it I see how well it has performed for everyone else and I believe in the psp program..so heck yeah I want it he is selling it at that price to get back what he put into it he might make 3-4 bucks in the end. I would order a new one, but Im an impatiant bastard and can't wait. Plus I got the money burning a hole in my pocket.

Floyd91,

No problem, take advantage of a sweet deal and get the good stuff. I would recommend that you also get the Outerwears prefilter cover (mine is black, they come in several colors). Sal is selling them, too. It really helps keep the big crud out of the filter element and it looks good to boot!

WHat made me mad was Sal never did reply to the 3 emails I sent him. I paid 144 dollars for the filter with prefilter and am sure the shipping was extra so I am losing money on the thing. I made back to back runs with the stock filter and the psp fiter within an hour of each other. the stock filter was the quicker and higher speed of the two so I know the conditions hadnt changed it was the difference in the filters. Its funny how people talk when they dont know all the facts. I know I am the only person who has had a drop in performance with the psp filter thats why I emailed sal several times and it was frustrating to not hear back from him for 3 days so I decided to sell the filter.

 

I certainly would not call it a piece of junk.Most people have seen good improvements so maybe yours is defective.I will though have to absolutly agree on the ability to get sal to email you or to answer on the vendors section.I have had my question up for some time now and he has even answered post right above me with out even acknowledging my post.So as i see it,You either want to do buisness or not, no in between.No matter how good his product is,His ability to answer mail or post are far behind.I will still say he has great chips and products,You can tell by all the happy customers on this board.Buisness,should be taken care of promtly which if you look back,it has always been a problem with sal.No flame

 

Hey thanks Lightningquick. I didnt put my filter problems on the board for everyone to see and privately emailed sal with my questions and problems. When after 2 or 3 days of no response I decided to sell the filter. Maybe if he took time to answer a persons questions this could have been avoided. I waited with much anticipation for 6 weeks for the filter only to lose power. A g tech might not be the most accurate thing in the world but it should work to compare two things at the same time frame. Its funny how the people on this board will answer the stupidest questions but when someone has a big problem most ignore it. Sal might make good products but the slowness of getting it out doesnt impress me. The only thing I can think of as to why my truck got slower is the sensor that goes in the metal tube of the psp filter setup didnt fit tight like it does in the stock filter. Sal does give a phone number if you have any problems but he has never answered any of my calls. Some of you can jump all over me but I just want the truck to run quicker is all.

 

I don't see how you can say that this is ABSOLUTELY the fault of the filter.

Go to the track any day....

Run back to back runs... Don't change ANY equipment...

If you get different times, (GUARANTEED!) the only variable in the equation is the driver... Maybe you should change the driver or sell the truck...

Maybe you can't drive the truck with the additional power generated from the filter? Did you "hook" the same on both runs? Different 60' time? Many people on this board have had trouble hooking after the filter improves the hp output.

No flame intended, but back to back runs can't be that scientific, especially with all the other conflicting data on Sal's filter.

 

if you think he's hard to get a hold of now, wait till the next batch of "L"s , hits the streets. but for some strange reason, people would rather wait for what sal has to say, than to ask some dufuss at Jeggs or Summitt their opinion on the intricacies of this vehicle. I don't know how much good,free, advice some of you are used to, when it comes to modifing a brand new vehicle. some of you know of some of my past projects, and believe me, there wasn't anyone like sal around. only trail, error,error error $$$$$.

 

Hey Lightningdammit. I never did say the power loss was the fault of the filter. Everyone else has had good luck with it. You need to read the things someone says. I said the truck ran slower with the filter. We dont have any quarter mile tracks in ND. I think I can handle all the extra hp. I have no trouble hooking up. I have run enough vehicles over the last 30 years that I know when a vehicle is running slower or faster. All I wanted was a little input from the seller of this filter. I never got it. Guess you cant expect much for the 150 bucks I spent. Flame intended.

 

Hey Bad, I raised more hell than anyone about the time it took to get my PSP products. I don't know if the filter helps any at all. It might be like a loud exhast, just sounds faster. But the chip makes my truck haul ***! Sal gives us more good info than everybody else on the list combined. He gives this info for free, even if it has nothing to do with his products. I respectfully say to you that I don't think you can tell seat of the pants if the filter made your truck slower. I have called Sal two times at dinner time, and he gave me more time than I deserved. He is not good about answering his E-mail. I sent one two days ago and have not heard a word yet. Even though he has responded to several post on this board in the last few days. But as far as I am concerned, SAL IS THE MAN!!!!

Hey BadPit:

What's your problem? Is the flame intended for me or Sal's filter?

I was just trying to be helpful and say something no one else said.

Over thirty years? I would expect then that you would know there are to many variables in one back to back set of runs to positively say the power loss (OOPS! SPEED LOSS) could be contributed to one modification.

I also never said YOU CAN'T hook. Maybe you need to read what people WRITE! I did say that maybe on the filtered run you didn't hook as well.

Oh well, I guess things are just too touchy when 30k is involved... What the hell....
