    HUMMER H2 vs. OTHER TRUCKS TO TOW A VIPER ....

    It's all about having the right tool for the job. The best vehicle for hauling ass - the Viper!! The best vehicle for hauling asps - a Dodge Cummins Powered pickup!! We tow our 48' trailer all over the country. With 2 Vipers, spare tires/wheels, spares, tools, and assorted other junk needed...

    HUMMER H2 vs. OTHER TRUCKS TO TOW A VIPER ....

    What Pete is saying here is absolutely correct - it is extremely scary and unsafe to have too little a tow vehicle. We tow a 48' Featherlite all aluminum 2 car enclosed trailer with most seriout pickup truck that we can find - a 2003 Dodge Quad Cab Cummins Turbo Diesel dually. While this may...

    Award Winning Parts

    I thought that some of you might like to know that PVO has won awards for some of the parts used on our new SRT/10's. While this might not mean much to some of you to the technically oriented out there I thought that this might be of interest. The Society of Plastics Engineers awarded...

    I was thinking of trying some Viper Days events but

    Speedpup, you should come out and try a Viper Days event anyway. I think that you will be very pleasantly surprised. As Hoosier Daddy was trying to say, it isn't about how many mods that you have on your car or how much you've spent. Its about the driver. There will be plenty of cases where...

    Roller-Rocker Question /Oil Pan Question

    We have been running Joe Dozzo modified oil pans and windage trays in both of our '96 GTS's for a couple of years now. The 2000 pan in my '96 was actually the first new pan that Joe modified. We have had great results in 2 years of Viper Days Michelin Challenge series use. Joe's modifications...

    Viper Days 2003 Season begins Jan 25th at Willow Springs

    Wckdvpr, I can highly recommend the TeamTech Tucker Helment Harness. I used one last year and now feel uncomfortable in a Viper without one. Like any of the helmet restraint systems it takes a little getting used to but I think that it is the best alternative for a Viper. The TeamTech harness...

    throttle cable went through my fire wall

    We have a club member who had this happen at the drag strip. He was running headers without heat shields at the time. He has since modified a set of stock heat shields to fit over his headers and has not had the problem re-occur in spite of a lot of track miles. Based upon his experience I...

    Cone's brake ducting kit

    Re: Cone\'s brake ducting kit Thanks for all of the compliments (I think!!) on the Cone Cooling Kit. We too started with the Porsche air deflectors on our cars - and soon found them to be inadequate. Since we had an extreme set of circumstances on our cars (namely trying to go very fast in...

    '99 ACR vs. '01 ACR - Cams, lying dynos, Corsa

    Re: \'99 ACR vs. \'01 ACR - Cams, lying dynos, Corsa Ken, the cam change and the header change took place in different years. The manifolds were changed from cast iron to stainless steel tubing beginning in 1998. The cam was changed beginning in 2000. There were a number of other engine...

    FRONT BRAKE AIR DUCT KIT

    Careful studying of the cross section drawing of the proportioning valve in my '97 service manual indicates that it does not make any difference whether you remove the spring of the o-ring. Both will disable the proportioning valve and give more rear brake. We have done it both ways on our...

    Power steering boiling on the track

    You might try the Red Line power steering fluid first before adding a cooler. We run our 2 '96 coupes in Viper Days Super Stock class and use Red Line fluid in both of them. We have found with frequent fluid changes that we have not had any fluid boiling issues. I had actually bought a larger...

    steering rack fix

    Jerry and GTS Dean, it does appear that Dodge is doing more than just reinforcing the steering rack mount. I've read the recall in detail and seen the parts for it. The recall installs 2 fairly large triangular steel plates to brace the frame horns in front of the front frame crossmember to...

    After market spark plugs dyno test.

    Russ, do I understand your post correctly - that you compared new Densos against used Champions?? That is what it seems based upon your last post. If so the test does not seem to be one that allows a conclusion that Densos are better than Champions to be made....

    3" corsa -- Any gain on gen1?

    Re: 3\" corsa -- Any gain on gen1? Don, 96 RT's had a unique exhaust system - no resonators in the side sills as you have noticed. This exhaust set up was only used for this one year...

    Rear End Rubbing Noise

    Tony, trailering the cars is one of the few times that we use our e-brake. We tie them down with the e-brake on, then release it with them tied down to make sure that nothing is in a bind, and then reset it. We don't leave the cars in gear in the trailer as we believe that this is bad on the...

    My First Autocross Event

    Dean, I think that it is important to note that the mods to Ron's car are not necessary to participant in track events like Viper Days. There are classes for cars from completely stock to wildly modified. In fact some of us take on the learning challenge of trying to find out just how...
