    Headers without Hi Flow cats?

    I have a 2.5" Corsa cat back on a otherwise stock 1996 GTS and am thinking of adding headers to the cylinder head upgrade. Been convinced that JM Stage III heads with stock manifolds isn't really an optimal strategy. I'm sure the same could be said for not adding hi flow cats, 3" exhaust, a...

    Advice needed regarding compression ratio

    A while back I bought a set of Jeff Morys GENII OEM Stage III cylinder heads for my 1996 GTS from Steve Viperair. They were used but refurbished by Jeff to be 'like new," which in fact they look to be. Believing in the Reagan doctrine, "trust by verify," I took them to a local shop (where they...

    I'm determined to understand the value of the ACR oil filter adapter in comparison to the stock adapter and need a GENII non-ACR / normal oil filter adapter to test. If you upgraded to the ACR adapter and wouldn't mind parting with your old adapter for a reasonable cost, please let me know...

    GENI & II OEM "like" Radiator Replacement Option

    **Potential** GENI/II OEM "like" Radiator Replacement Option After noticing a slight leak in my 15 year old original radiator, I pulled it and brought it down to Albert at Indianapolis Radiator Works. He expressed some concern about the repairability and while a re-core is always an option...

    Clutch Master or Slave?

    1996 GTS - Clutch engages very low sometimes after the car sits for a while. Stays that way for 5 or so shifts then returns to normal. Pumping the clutch doesn't seem to help, instead actual engagements are required for it to return to normal. Daily use maintains normalcy for the most part...

    Door Stanchion Tip Cracked......

    While cleaning the car the other day, I noticed that on the top of the passenger stanchion was cracked on the forward / window side. Hasn't fallen off but has flexed to the point that the structure is gone and the gloss coating seems to be all that is holding it on. Questions: Has this...

    Anti-seize torque setting follow-up

    A while back there was a vibrant discussion on whether using anti-seize on sparkplug threads was a good thing or not and if so what the new torque setting should be. I just came across this table clarifies the required torque adjustment. Much greater decrease than I suspected. Bottom line, if...

    Are you curious how Dex-Cool performs in a Viper?

    I changed to Dex-Cool within months of purchasing my new Viper because (in order): I wanted the water pump to last longer. I wanted to take advantage of the lastest in coolant technology, including better thermal transfer. I hate changing coolant (almost as much as ATF changes) and wanted to...

    Cheap (but good) Air Filters Here....

    I personally prefer paper filters versus cotton (K&N Style) for daily use. I use my K&N's for track and dyno use only. Supporting that strategy, I've noticed lower silicon readings in my oil analysis when I run paper. (silicon = dirt). No doubt K&N adds power, just not enough for...

    Has anyone Dyno tested the gains for just CAT removal?

    Does anyone have the dyno proven RWHP/TQ gain with just an OEM CAT removal? Would like to see the theoretical maximum gain available with really free flowing cats. Would also like to see the A/F ratios if your dyno operator provides. Thanks much

    Door Alignment Procedures - Can anyone detail?

    Did a search on "door alignment" and while many have attempted and some were even successful, no one has really shared all the tips and tricks involved. Rather than learning by my mistakes, can anyone provide ideas on the proper way to lift the rear end of the door? Mine is rubbing low on the...

    PCM & O2 Sensor question....

    Does anyone know if the PCM can control each bank (right and left) of fuel injectors independently based on right and left O2 sensor voltages or do the right and left sensors just act as verification of each other and the PCM reacts to the average of both? Thanks

    Hood / Headlight alignment question.....

    Noticed a bit of interference between the inside of the passenger headlight (near high beam) and the very inside tip of the hood. Since the drivers side has a proper gap, solution seems to be moving the passenger headlight slightly outboard. How is this best accomplished? Fascia removal? If...

    Are these dents normal on shorty headers?

    Acquired a set of OEM shorty headers and was wondering why both sides had dents (clearance?) on the front two cylinders. Sure they're normal as both right and left side had identical impressions, but since the cast manifolds don't have them was wondering what the purpose was on the...
