    gen 2 radiator question

    Mine started to leak a couple years ago and my mechanic strongly suggested getting my stock radiator re-cored vs. buying a new aftermarket aluminum radiator. He said the stock radiator with copper end tanks is more efficient than the aftermarket ones with aluminum end tanks. I went with his...

    Inspection fail - what to do

    You just need to drive a bit more. It is reading as you show ready status for a couple of the monitors, but not enough yet to go to ready status on a couple.

    Inspection fail - what to do

    Check what your state's requirements are, but based on the car's age, you may still be fine with the not ready status. As long as you aren't throwing codes in my state, I can have two monitors with incomplete status and still pass. My cat monitoring status has been reading incomplete for...

    Fuel Requirement for Head/Cam Mod

    When they were dyno tuning my car they were monitoring injector duty cycle, but I don't recall the peak percentage they went to trying to hit 600 rwhp on the stock fuel. I know it was above the 80% you reference and am guessing my car is set-up to be over 80% on the top end. I have had the...

    Fuel Requirement for Head/Cam Mod

    It is a '97 GTS.

    Fuel Requirement for Head/Cam Mod

    The stock fuel system should support your N/A set-up. The stock system seems to top out near the 600 rwhp mark. My N/A set-up ran out of steam at 592 rwhp.

    Getting a GTS to Gen IV Power

    That is interesting, Tagoo. I do agree the car, conditions and dyno can all effect the final numbers, but the 540rwhp sounds low compared to some other guys I know that have a similar package. On a Mustang dyno and VECII mine hit 592rwhp, but the stock fuel system stopped us from going for...

    Failed Emissions Testing - CEL Question?

    You indicated a rich bank condition...your CEL light might be activated by that with a stock tune. I had to lean her out to stop throwing that code for emissions. A slight drawback of a heads/cam car :)

    How to get cas cap off a GTS?

    I would disagree with the plating shop's opinion. I had mine done by a place in AZ. They took it apart, chromed it and put it back together for a quote of $100....the glitch was it took them about a month longer than the quoted turnaround time (think it was misplaced for a few weeks) so they...

    How to get cas cap off a GTS?

    Put some WD40 around the lip between the plastic and the cap housing. Then grab the outer housing with both hands and use your thumbs to push the plastic piping and they should separate.

    I know I am biased, but I hope the Gen5 Coupe looks as good as the Gen2 GTS

    This is exactly what came to mind as I was reading this thread. I think Dodge/SRT would have benefited if it had adopted more of an evolution mindset based on the Gen II, similar to the 911 development path.

    Anyone have any experience with R&J Distributing?

    I bought a used textured dash several years back to swap with my 97's smooth dash. Great to deal with, part condition (like new) was exactly as advertised and while a difficult part to package, it was done extremely well.

    Roe Racing parts best value/quality for money?

    I have bought several items from Roe and never disappointed. In fact, I have bought various items from about 6 different Viper vendors (Sean, jon B, M&M, Snake oyl, The Wizard, ART, etc.) never been disappointed with the service or quality I received. I can't say that for any other modified...

    Head Gaskets and Head Bolts

    Perhaps Gen I head bolts are different, but Gen II head bolts are single use, so I would recommend the OP double check. I am sure the Wizard can confirm either way. I learned that during my head/cam build a couple years ago.

    2000 RT10 California car... Smog protected?

    I think the question is if there is additional equipment added to pass smog testing in Cali, the answer is no. If you don't think it running as strong you anticipated, take it to a shop and have it looked at and/or have it put on the dyno to see what kind of power it is putting down.

    Any one using a Pro EFI cpu?

    Larry is great guy to deal with. SP did my heads/cam build and Larry did the tuning (VECII). It is coming up on 4 years since the work an no hicups to date.

    Couldn't ask for a better day in Chicagoland!

    Ditto. Took my GTS out for quick spin in the Vernon Hills area yesterday. Was quickly reminded that spirited accelleration isn't too wise when the temps are below 50 degrees :)

    What is a used set of headers worth in today's $$$$?

    Same here....was looking at going the used route 3.5 years ago and really glad I went the M&M route. The headers and coating are first rate. One of the few cases where "you get what you pay for" doesn't apply.

    Took the cats out. Definitely louder.

    The cat removal may not gain as much power on a nearly stock Viper, but does in cars that have more mods. I lost 23 peak rwhp on my heads/cam GTS when I went from no cats to high-flow cats in order to pass emissions.

    Cat monitoring incomplete

    Bluesrt, thanks for your help and input, but I tried it and it still didn't work. So, I decide to take it to a "recommended" shop off the state's emissions website to see if they could help. I go in and tell them what the deal is and show them my failed emissions paperwork. They made my day...

    Greg Good and Sound Performance are a good combo. Both were involved in my GTS build.

    Cat monitoring incomplete

    Hate to bring my old thread back to life, but I have now driven hundreds of miles in all type of conditions and my ODBII scanner still reflects that the cat monitoring is incomplete :( To top it off, I now have a ticket for expired registration as I can't renew my license plates and...
