    I Cured My Idle Hang!

    I had worsening idle hanging problems. It was to a point where it hung about 75 percent of the time. I could actually let off the gas and still cruise down the freeway at 80 mph . I tried cleaning out the idle air contrl assembly and it didn't help. The solution for me was the one posted by...

    Jet Hot Coating . ..

    I plann on sending my headers and exhaust inc cats all the way back to the corsa catback to jet hot. The satin silver looks nice, but heat protection is my goal so appearence is secondary. I am thinking the 2000 degree coating for the system since Sean roe measured the elbow past the headers...

    the skinny on header wrap

    So what's the story on using header wrap or jackets. Some say the wrap or jackets keep the engine bay cool as well as increase power by keeping the heat in the headers to flow out. Is this true? Sounds like what Jet Hot coating is supposed to do. On the other hand looking at the summit catalog...

    Lighter flywheel?

    I know there have been a lot of discussions about the possible advantages of a lighter flywheel. The conscesous I got was that for the street and road racing it is good. But for drag racing the heavier stock flywheel with it's inertia was better. My question is-is there a point where the extra...

    Inlet air temps thru the NACA duct.

    Has anyone ever measureed the inlet air temp thru here? My viper tech did a rain baffle delete and covered the hole with metal sheeting. Since the airbox is right above the radiator where the metal was installed, it seems to super heat the inlet air. At Idle on a 60 degree evening I put a...

    question for those who have put on headers

    To those who added headers to their viper, I am wondering if you noticed if the side sills got hotter , cooler, or stayed the same temperature after you put them on. If you could mention the brand of header, if it's coated at all, and if you also changed the rest of the exhaust too it would be...

    Question for Roe SC Owners / Prospective Buyers

    I considered that before getting the sc. At the time no one was getting over 550rwhp with heads, camshaft, & possibly upgraded fuel system. and I was looking for 600rwhp. One guy put out about 530 to 550 but the cost was over $7,000. Not to mention it wasn't smog legal. The roe sc isn't...

    Sean Roe . . .How could you do this to me!!

    Well with all of the ?? regarding the roe sc I thought I'd chime in: Problem #1 I solved my traction problems with kuhmo tires allowing me with 4500 rpm launches and no loss of traction.

    computer learning and plugged cats?

    Hi all. Just got the roe sc installed and car is not running tip top yet. First problem was the car overheated. (this had nothing to do with the supercharger). The thermostat was changed to a 180 degree one during the install which was a poorly designed one (won't mention where it came from-it...
