    Zone Rendezvous Autocross Winners

    Now that all of the zone rendezvous are completed, how about posting some information on the autocross winners and the planned challenge with SRT? If I understand correctly, the top two finishers from each rendezvous are to participate in a challenge with SRT sometime in October. Additional...

    Why a twin turbo over a paxton for SRT10

    Not a stupid question... You are probably thinking of twin screw blowers instead of "roots" blowers. The twin screw blowers are more efficient that the old "roots" type blowers. The twin screw blowers are typically located on top of the engine, between the valve covers, sitting on top of a...

    Why a twin turbo over a paxton for SRT10

    As you have read, a turbocharged car provides a significantly different driving experience than a centrifugally supercharged car. Most of those who have had both will tell you that the turbo will pull significantly harder than a centrifugally supercharged car. My original post was just a...

    Why a twin turbo over a paxton for SRT10

    DSR207, The dyno curves proved my point. Significantly more torque at low engine speeds. Look how flat that torque curve is for the turbo car. And how does a VEC2 change the boost of a supercharger? A VEC2 can only change the fuel and timing settings. You have to change the pulley diameter...

    Why a twin turbo over a paxton for SRT10

    Different people may have different objectives with their cars, but here's a few issues to think about: Turbo car will typically be much quieter than supercharged car. Turbo boost level is much easier to adjust to take advantage of high octane fuel or reduce to handle low octane fuel...

    Had one hell of a time at Southwest Zone Rendezvous!!!

    I would also like to thank the Woodhouse crew. They brought in a bellhousing, crank sensor, clutch disc, and pressure plate Saturday morning and had the car repaired shortly after lunch. The repair was so quick that we did not miss any of the weekend events. The Viper Club is fortunate to have...

    What is your best 0 to 60 time...

    2.99 seconds on stock run-flat tires. You can see the details in the December 2003 issue of MotorTrend magazine. Unfortunately they rounded off the 0-60 time to only one decimal place so the magazine shows 3.0 seconds. The run was at San Antonio Raceway and the performance data was from a...

    Factory SRT Cowl Induction >>> Bye, Bye ZO6

    Re: Factory SRT Cowl Induction & Bye, Bye ZO6 I'll drop the subject with a quote from the Performance Modifications section by a guy at SRT (user name Dyno Dave) that spends a lot of time with Viper engines in the dyno cell... You can search for all posts by this user if you think you need a...

    Factory SRT Cowl Induction >>> Bye, Bye ZO6

    Re: Factory SRT Cowl Induction >>> Bye, Bye ZO6 You're partially right. The drop in torque that you stated is only a part of the poor driveability. A multi throttle body system is prone to mis-synch. The synchronization of the multiple throttle bodies can go south as the complicated...

    Factory SRT Cowl Induction >>> Bye, Bye ZO6

    Re: Factory SRT Cowl Induction >>> Bye, Bye ZO6 I doubt that the SRT Carbon Concept intake would allow the SRT to say bye bye to the new Z06. The SRT Carbon intake is a high rpm race style intake. It will not significantly help the engine in the current rpm range. In fact, it will...

    Satisfaction level with your SRT 10

    4 out of 5 and that's a generous score. I find it unusual that so many people rated the car at a 5 out of 5. In my opinion that type of rating means that there is no room for improvement. In my opinion Dodge left plenty of room for improvement. How about the windows? I typically have to...
