    Where do you mount the Snakeoyl cruise control remote?

    Had one in that same place for about a year now. You'll soon find that the velcro loses it's stickiness--especially in FL heat--and may fall off eventually. Since I don't use cruise control that often, I now just place it in the "cup holder" behind the gearshift and operate it from there. I...

    [PICS] KW's installed...finally slammed!

    Looks great! But as you know it requires constant situational awareness when driving the vehicle that low to the ground around town. Pulling into driveways, parking lots, and driving over older speed bumps can easily bottom out the lower front bumper or bottom side sills. Unfortunately I know...

    Is it true that PAXTON NOVI cars are only good for 10k miles???

    I have 43K miles (55K Total) on my Paxton with no issues. But, a lot of those are highway miles with limited "spirited" driving. I change oil every 3K miles and just replaced the S/C belt. Once the belt was changed the stock Paxton pulley produced almost 10 lbs of boost. Guess I got one of...

    new tag on the snake

    Creative plate. I researched numerous personalized FL plates trying to find something catchy and unique. Most of my ideas were taken. Settled with "802HP". Believe it or not but every plate from "790HP to 810HP" was taken except the 802HP. Plus I could only have five letters/numbers because...

    Any Members Who Are Jewelers--Diamond Ring

    Figured I'd check with the VCA to see if anyone on here is a jeweler or sells diamond wedding rings. So if anyone is in the business or knows someone reputable who's not going to screw me and give me a good deal, please let me know. Been doing some price research in the meantime. Thanx!

    Recently took delivery of my 7th Viper......

    Knew it'd only be a matter of time, Roy before you got bored with the ACR--HA! She does look good, but even I know it's only temporary. Need to come down and see the new Navarre pier and lets do lunch sometime. Enjoy the new Viper. Eric

    OK enough of the Vette mistakes

    I also unfortunately get the "Vette" comment about 2 times per year. And occasionally get the signature "Vette" waive from other Vette drivers as they pass me on the street.

    New Mods Push Stock Internals to the Limit

    Just wanted to share with the group on how the latest mods effected the dyno numbers. Replaced the S/C belt--after 40K miles--due to slipping at high rpm's. Deleted stock cats and went with high flow cats. Changed the stock dual butterfly Throttle body to a a single blade throttle body...

    how many miles did you put on your factory clutch?

    Replaced mine at 51K, but 30K miles were with a Paxton S/C.

    Another X-Metal Install Problem--Used and Idle Issue

    Update. From reading the other related thread "XMetal TB install process, any advise?", I did try to loosen the TPS and turn it to the right. That increased the idle rpm to @ 2k. I brought the TPS all the way back as far left as possible and am still getting @1100 rpm's at idle. Any...

    Another X-Metal Install Problem--Used and Idle Issue

    I have a different situation than the other TB post in that I can't get the idle lower than 1250rpm after the install. My mechanic noticed there seemed to be too much air gap on the butterfly in the first place. He had the "Base Set" screw backed all the way off and the throttle cable tension...

    New Flashy Twist to Subwoofer Install

    I added a little extra flare to the sub-woofer install. As most of you know, I needed a little more sound and bass than the RB-1 and 6" sub could provide. After discussing the design with the installer we decide on the below: I went with a 500watt 5 Channel Interfire Amp and Rockford 360...

    On Halloween: [email protected]

    Great times. Those drag radials must make a huge difference. I haven't ran a 1/4 mile track yet, but the best 1/8 times I can get with Sport Cups and stock Paxton is 7.9 at 98mph. I'm pushing 688rwhp and 621tq with some of the mods you listed (See sig block). It's amazing you're almost a...

    Western Fl. Vipers?

    I would guess there are probably 5-7 Vipers within the Milton, Ft Walton Beach, Pensacola and Destin areas. I daily drive my Copperhead approx. 15K miles per year and get to the Destin area usually once a month. But yeah, there are some Vipers here.

    1st Car Shows Enjoyable and Disappointing

    Don't get discouraged. Go for the fun, socializing and other unique looking cars. Believe me, you will have one of the most popular cars in the show. FWIW, a buddy talked me in to entering a car show with about 250 cars participating. Short version is all the participants voted for their...

    Warranty Question

    If the car is modified in any way, Chrysler can deny ANY extended warranty coverage. If you have a huge repair bill under the extended warranty (if modded) they can say the car has mods and legally not cover the repair--even if the item/part to be repaired has nothing to do with a item/part...

    Extended Warranty

    One other thing to remember. Do you have any aftermarket mods or alterations? They can deny coverage if you do. That includes denying to fix a broken door latch (under warranty) if you have aftermarket exhaust, K&n Filters, etc.. Yes, even if the OEM warranty item is not related to your...

    Maxcare 7year/50000mile 0 deduc $1510.00

    FYI, hope you don't have or plan on any mods to the car. They can deny your extended warranty based on ANY mods. Dodge denied me a 3yr/36K factory warranty repair based on mods that had nothing to do with warranty repair work (a glove box). Also, they denied repairing my door latch under...
