As you folks kindly explained a few months ago when I first got my Vmax, the VBoost is an electronic feature that opens an additional set of butterflies in the carbs at 6k rpms which results in a turbo-like effect.
Great, I love it. But....I know there are some aftermarket switches to turn it on and off. If the carbs are set up to run on the vboost at 6k rpms, what happens if you turn it off and do some high-rpm stuff?
I ask this because I need to take the Vmax into the mountains, Deal's Gap actually, and this kind of riding is best done at higher rpms, engine braking is so critical. But if that Vboost kicks in while I'm accelerating out of the curve, I'll run off into the ditch!
Will it foul the plugs or something if I put an "off" switch in the line? I never want it on all the time, only to turn it off occassionally.
Oh, and where, if it's not a bad idea, do I get the switch, or can I just mount any toggle in the line?
