    Alcon brakes

    So anyone here run the Alcon brakes on their car? I'm curious if the comp coupe brake package fits on a Gen II and if it's really worth the extra cash. I have no idea what the actual cost is for these brakes, however I can guess that they are in the stratosphere. I'd love to here from someone...

    I'm trying to gauge interest on a group buy of B&M shifters for the Gen II

    Ok here's the deal. I've been thinking about changing shifters for a while now. The Hurst shifter seemed like a candidate, however after reading about clearance issues with that shifter and the fact that youv'e got to remove the shifter to pull the trans out has me thinking otherwise. Hurst...

    Mopar Performance head package

    Holy cow, I just noticed VPA has got the complete package for $6,600 if your a Venom Member. This has got to be the best Mopar Performance value ever. I've complained a hundred times how overpriced there stuff tends to be. I want a Gen III, just so I can bolt this set up on it. Deal of the...

    Custom Viper jack stands

    I think one of the biggest challenges for a Viper owner or any real car enthusiast is properly lifting his or her car, as well as supporting it once it's lifted. I struggled with differing ideas for years. Fortunately I've had a lift in my garage for 13 years now. Along the way I've learned some...

    Gen V and Pirelli

    It will be interesting to see how competitive tire pricing will become once the new Viper runs on Pirelli's. I think most people can agree that Michelin pricing has always been top tier. Great tires but at a price, hey you get what you pay for. I was just looking at tire pricing at the Tire Rack...

    Smog, as in CA

    Just a quick note, prop or whatever. My car passed CA smog again, like a new car. For those of you that are on the fence in CA, with all the stringent measures, it amazes me each time that this car runs like it does (wicked) and as clean as it does. The Strikers are amazing, but having a shop...

    Street tires

    My latest tires for the street............... I swore I'd never run anything but Cups on the street, but Michelin dumped 18" 345's a long time ago. With no choice except Hoosiers which are beyond my wallet, I chose the V710's. Good news is they have about 3/4" more rubber on the ground than...

    bfg g-force R-1

    Anyone have any experience with these tires? I searched here and found nothing. Though they are only available in a 335/30-18 (345's would be better, I need more O.D.) for the rears I'm still curious.

    NEW Optima Battery

    Optima now has a battery for our cars! I went to the Dodge dealer today to buy another battery for my car, and the price went from $85 two years ago to $165 today. So much for me trying to help out a sinking ship. Honestly I was pissed, but anyway I decided to stop by Kragen just to check what...

    CA emissions vs. Striker Heads and Cam

    OK, I think anyone who has actually modded a car in CA knows that it's not a combo that normally coexists. Now "modded" in my book does not mean an exhaust and smooth tubes with K&N's. I'm talking about a reasonably large cam with aftermarket heads + headers. Unless you've got E.O. numbers on...

    Spark plug gap for LFR7AIX

    For the life of me, I can't find my notes for the spark plug gap on my Striker heads. I called Dan Craigin and got a range, but I'm baffled by my existing gaps. I tried Jeff Mory's for the past couple of weeks but I just can't seem to get a hold of him. Anyone know for a fact what your running...

    Tire Rack

    Though I've never purchased tires from "Luke", I have been buying from the Tire Rack for years. They have the quickest shipping and best service I've ever experienced from a vendor. I've always used standard shipping methods, and somehow have received the tires the next day. Highly recommended...

    Bummed I'm not there!

    I really was hopeful that VOI would be in Detroit this year, after all it's the home of the Viper. Well it's there and I'm not so I'm really bummed out. VOI 9 was one of the greatest experiences I have ever had in the automotive world. So please post any and all pics and movies. I feel like I'm...

    Pilot Sport Cups GONE!

    Well it looks like my fears of the 345/30 18 becoming extinct have come to play. I'd been watching the Tire Rack stock for months now. Well I went on a couple of days ago and noticed that they pulled the size. I went on the Michelin site and they are gone as well. Big bummer! I know the Kumho's...

    Drag racing at California Speedway Today

    Well it was a beautiful warm if not hot Southern CA day today. A slightly heavy cross wind on the track. Four Vipers showed up along with a bunch of mostly late model cars (a large Corvette contingent). Plenty of nice cars and people hanging out for the day. Thanks to Hugh Hoard for offering me...

    Drag Racing at California Speedway 10/28

    Well I'd been waiting for a few months to get the car on the track, and today was the day. It was a Sportsman class test and tune at CA Speedway today, so I figured the track would be well prepared. In theory it was suposed to be cars with slicks only. I was able to sneek in with pilot sport...

    Back to the Dyno

    Well as some of you know, I pulled the motor a few months ago and put on a set of Striker heads as well as the JM cam. I had DC Performance do the tune on the car, and it bascially put out 580 RWHP and 581 RWTQ. This was with some highflow cats and very small 1 1/2" headers. I felt that with the...

    Finally got it tuned @ DC Performance Today

    Well I made it to DC Performance today to get the car tuned, as some of you have seen on another thread. It hasn't rained in five months here, well guess what happened today. I left the house at 5AM to get the beast down to Dan's with minimal traffic and it starts pouring go figure. The rest of...

    What's up in my garage?

    Here's what's been happening in my garage the past couple of months. Slid the motor back in tonight, and will start on tranny tomorrow morning. With all this talk about N/A power recently, I figured I should post some pics of the STRYKER heads. We'll see soon enough what kind of...

    Aviaid Dry Sump

    I spoke with the guys at Aviaid today and confirmed that they have developed a Dry Sump system that will allow the use of the factory air conditioning. The unit works off the hub of an ATI Dampner and the pump is located below next to the oil pan. They claim the system should work for all three...

    Detroit

    Well, I went to Michigan this past week and really enjoyed it. I only had one day off, and as suggested by some members, I went to the Henry Ford Museum as well as the Chrysler Museum. The Henry Ford was an amazing place, with all kinds of cars and mechanical history. The Chrysler Museum was...

    Detroit

    Ok guys I know this doesn't belong here, but I know most people look here first. Maybe the mods could do me a favor and leave it here for a couple of days. Anyway, I'm coming out to Flint for work on a movie for a week. I'm only going to get one day off Sun, 29th of April. For me, the car...
