    N/A 10 second passes....

    There was a track day yesterday with the Scottsdale Exotic Car Club at one of our local tracks. The track wasn't hooking at all when we first got there and they had to reglue it a couple of times. My first pass I aborted the run because the tires just spun like I was on ice. The second...

    600 rwhp N/A dyno

    There was a dyno day yesterday for a local car club, www.scottsdaleexoticcarclub.com. My car put down 600 rwhp and 615 rwtq on 91 pump gas. It basically has the RSI 750 Unlimited Package and I have a VEC2 for tuning. Jason builds one heck of an engine. I really enjoy that instant "snap" of a...

    Thanks to Jason @ RSI...

    My car had a clutch failure last month while on the way home. The 4-year old (ish) Spec clutch that was in there finally sheared all of the rivets that hold the hub to the disk. Spec was closed until Jan 2 and this was jsut befroe Christmas. I called RSI on Dec. 26th and even though they were...

    Are there any type of upgraded U-Joints available?

    I was at the track yesterday and I shattered a u-joint on my drivers side half shaft. Is there an upgradable u-joint that I can purchase for the half-shafts? I have the big-fat Unitrax shafts on it, now. Thanks!!

    Hypothetical question about our hoods

    My buddy with a '99 GTS has a damaged hood. Since they either can't be repaired or are very difficult to repair he is looking at the possibility of buying a used hood and having it painted to match, if required. My suggestion to him was to spend a bit more money and get into an SVS carbon...

    Rough running Viper, need ideas...

    I just installed a 510 stroker motor in my '97 with a Vec2 to help tune everything. I have a couple of odd problems, though. 1) At part throttle driving, either while cruising or just pulling away from a stoplight, the car will buck and lurch. 2) If I do a full-throttle blast someitmes the...

    Connecting rod torque specs?

    I have found the other torque specs from searching, but I can't find anything for the connecting rod bolts. Thanks!!

    VEC2 limitations?

    I was curious as to what the limitations of a VEC2 are. At what point does the VEC run out of flexability and someone has to go AEM? Is it dependant upon what type of setup someone is running? Horsepower limitations? Thanks!!

    "Clacking" noise in the motor....

    \"Clacking\" noise in the motor.... Here is a video that I shot trying to figure out what that horrible noise is: http://members.cox.net/kwkshift/CIMG1588.AVI I had noticed that occasionally, after I drove the car say, to dinner and I came back out to start it up to go home, I would hear some...

    Fuel injector problem...

    The last time I had my car on the dyno, it was lean while on the motor. So, I decided to start trying to figure out why that was. I put a fuel pressure gauge on the rail to see if the regulator and or pump were weak or bad. Fuel pressure would hold at just under 60 psi. I let the car sit and...

    Can the electric cooling fan be triggered sooner?

    I was curious is there was a way to have the fan come on sooner than the stock temperature setting? I know that Roe makes a controller, but I was just looking for a temperature sensor or something that triggers the fan that could be swapped out for a different heat range so that it would be...

    What's wrong with the Paxton supercharger system?

    What\'s wrong with the Paxton supercharger system? I have seen a few post regarding the regular Paxton supercharger system not being nearly as good as a custom system. Why is that? What's wrong with it? I have been toying with the idea of supercharging my car, and I noticed that the Roe...

    sway bar disconnect?

    I was going to disconnect my front sway bar for the track on Sunday, but I can't get it disconnected from the end links. Are both ends of the end links tapered like a tie rod or similar? I could easilly get the end like nuts off, but that's it. Any iseas? Thanks!!

    TNT nitrous dyno run.....graph looks similar to 2001 GTS'.....

    Went to the track today and made some good passes....

    This was my second outing with the car. The first time at the track netted a 12.15 @ 117. Today I went 11.6 @ 121 with a 1.86 60'. The only mods to the car is a B&B catback, a K&N air intake and Kumho's on the rear. As long as the clutch holds, I think I'm a 100 shot away from...

    Ported heads and intake questions....

    I am looking into getting a set of heads ported, rocker arms, etc, but I was wondering if the intake manifold needs to be ported, other than port matching to really make the heads come alive. For a street car/ drag car, which header primary size is best? When doing heads, rockers, intake...

    New to the Viper world, so I have some questions....

    I just purchased a b/w '97 about a month ago and I have a few questions regarding mods. I have used the search function quite a lot, but I still am curious about a few things: 1) How much power(rwhp/ tq) can the stock engine make reliably with a power adder? Either bottle or blower or a...

    My Viper died last night...

    Talk about driving me nuts. A buddy and I were cruising allittle last night going to get some food and at a stop light, the car just shut off. I tried restarting it, but it would just pop a little out of the exhaust. We pushed it over on the side of the street and I let it sit for a few...

    Dyno'd my "new" '97 last night....

    Dyno\'d my \"new\" \'97 last night.... I just purchased this car on Friday evening. (Guilly know all about the car being that I got it from a buddy of his.) It has a cat-back exhaust, the K&N intake and a reflashed ECU. That's all I know of. The second pull, (not shown), was shut...
