    Looking for custom oval exhaust tips

    Does anyone know where I might either find very large exhaust outlets (to use as tips), or know where I might be able to get something custom-made (stainless steel, rolled edge)? Partly for the sake of novelty, partly to get that asphalted-up trailer-hitch-looking crap off there, and partly to...

    2003 V10 install manual?

    I believe this link is for a Gen I / Gen II manual: http://vca2.viperclub.org/marketplace/vender.php?vender_id=278&cat_id=6 Is there a manual available yet for the Gen III engine? I'm told this crate motor install guide has a lot of measurements and dimensions which I'm sure will come in...

    Viper owner near Phoenix

    I'm looking for a Viper owner in or near Phoenix to check out an engine I'm thinking about buying -- basically make sure it isn't damaged or banged up, and verify that it will start. Any help would be appreciated, please PM me. Thanks!

    Valve issue and used 2003 engine

    I am considering purchasing a 2003 Viper engine for a project. This is the engine only. What should I look for on the engine itself to determine whether I should check with DC to see if the valve problem exists and/or has been fixed? Would the engine S/N be sufficient? Do they still put the VIN...

    Rear brake caliper piston tool

    I was going to change my rear brake pads (rears are stock) tomorrow afternoon, but I see this big boldface warning in the service manual that refers to a special (undoubtedly expensive) piston compression tool. The warning states if you don't use this tool "the brake caliper will be destroyed"...

    Weight-distributing trailer hitch

    The last time I used my trailer, I decided to try the weight distributing hitch which the previous owner included when I bought the trailer. It hooked up easily enough, although I didn't feel any significant difference pulling the car (my truck is a quite heavy 2500 series) and that hitch...

    Rims and tires

    I've noted a wide variation between rim diameters and widths for people road racing Vipers. Some guys have 18" fronts and 17" rears with taller rears to make up the diameter difference. Some use fronts as wide as the rears, and others go skinny all the way 'round. Can somebody pick apart these...

    Yellow Vipers are faster

    Dropping by to say hi, and to make sure everybody remembers the all-important mantra, Yellow Vipers Are Faster. I recently dynoed the creampuff and after getting the VEC1 right, it made 422 RWHP and and 456 RWTQ. I always thought everybody used a flywheel-to-RWHP fudge factor of about 12% for...
