[Nefarious]

I can't seem to find a good info on their products so I'd like to hear your opinions/experiences.

I had a great bsns experience with them, Before investing on any parts get some feedback on them.

Do a search for EXPLODING INTAKE GRATES and you should get an idea...

I've had good experience with them. I don't like the grate breaking thing, but they replace them for me. Alot of RIVA's aftermarket parts a made by R&D.

OUCH...accurate but a tad unfair...not all there stuff sucks,but there grates sure could do with a little more R&d...
which products are you thinking of buying

[Nefarious]

I'm looking at all the below listed parts. Unfortunately, the aftermarket support for the VX110 just isn't there and R&D seems to be the only ones who are making performance parts for them. Riva does have a couple things but they seem to be rebadged R&D parts.

R&D Aquavein Intake Grate
R&D Power Plenum Filter kit (Also sold under the Riva name)
R&D Free Flow Exhaust Kit
R&D Pro Series Sponson Kit (Also possibly sold under the Riva name)
R&D OEM Grate/Shoe Kit
R&D Anti-Cavitation Cone
Solas 18/24 Concord Impeller
(Basically the R&D Performer kit)

Oh yeah, Island Racing has a ride plate mod but I have no idea if that is worth anything.

My big question is that R&D claims a gain of 6+mph with the above parts so I'm wondering if thats accurate or just a bunch of smoke being blown up my rear end

The plate from Island racing or jim will give you 4 +/- mph... I would start out with INTAKE grate, PPK, and ride plate... then play with the motor!

I definetly want to get a GPS baseline just gotta figure out the best time to hit the water when it's not all chopped up.

So, if R&D's MPH claims are semi accurate and I get the ride plate from carl or jim and should be able to break the 60mph mark?

Also, if I'm doing the Intake Grate should I do a seal kit while i'm in there?

Lastly, are the Powershot Adj fuel tuner things worth a damn?

I woundnt buy it assuming thats what your gonna get... I have never used there VX kit but I would imagine there a little generous!
