    Where's the 2008-10 Horsepower?

    I appreciate your input and it's a good point about any ram air effect. A stationary dyno would not take that into account. Does anyone have any other reputable dyno charts for the 2008 and later engine? I'm trying to examine the horsepower/torque curves to determine the best shift points...

    Where's the 2008-10 Horsepower?

    This is why I'm asking. K and N has a good reputation. Maybe we should email them for an explanation. They have no agenda here to say the Viper makes less horsepower. They're only interested in showing what gain their filters can make. Whether the car made 450 hp stock or 525 stock, it...

    Where's the 2008-10 Horsepower?

    Just looked at the K and N site. They dyno'd a stock 2008 and got a maximum of 450 hp at the wheels. If the car is really making 600 hp, it should have been making at least 525 hp at the wheels. What gives? I looked up their dyno chart on the Z06 (stock horsepower 505) AND IT MADE ALMOST THE...

    anybody have pull with STL customs?

    I deal with customs a couple of times a year. It doesn't hurt to call the local customs office and talk to someone. If your supplier has his main facility in St. Louis, it's not unusual for it to be sent to St. Louis 'under bond' where it will be inspected. My shipments usually are...

    Horsepower IS torque........times RPM divided by 5252. It doesn't matter if you have an engine making 250 lbs of torque at 10,000 rpm or an engine making 500 lbs of torque at 5000 rpm. They both are making 476 hp. However, a torquey motor is rarely caught out of the power band. This is an...

    Where can I hardwire my radar detector?

    Hey, Thanks so much for taking the time to reply. I ordered the 8 inch invisicord. Yes, the 08 looks to have the same connector on the back of the mirror. I've copied your wiring instructions and will do it when I get the cord. I have decided to stick with the suction cup mount though. The...

    Where can I hardwire my radar detector?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Now I'm having a problem removing the trim panel under the steering wheel. There are only 2 screws. I have the service manual and it says there are several clips that must be removed using a special tool. I don't want to pull at it and break it. Has anyone...

    Where can I hardwire my radar detector?

    Hey, this is great. Thanks! Just what I needed. I did do a search but didn't turn any of this up. Probably chose the wrong keywords. Running to the mirror appeals to me as a neater install. I will give that a try first. But where do you get these fuse taps? They're great. Did you...

    Where can I hardwire my radar detector?

    I know I'll forget if I have to turn it on and off myself. As I understand it, there is no fuse box at the drivers left knee. Is that correct? Just where is it? If it's not there, is there something else 'easy' I can tap into?

    Where can I hardwire my radar detector?

    I'm looking for a 12 volt source that turns off and on with the ignition key......close to the mirror or at the drivers left knee. I have a 2008 convertible. Any suggestions? Thanks. David

    Gateway Club- Cruise this weekend!

    Still scratching my head over the carpet thing. But I think I've heard this before. Just how is this supposed to help? Keep the tires a bit warmer? Change the shape? I'm willing to give it a try. Now let's see, should we use indoor outdoor, berber, or maybe SHAG!

    Gateway Club- Cruise this weekend!

    In all seriousness, you need to run the heater now and then to flush the coolant in the heater core. Otherwise, it can get pretty gunky. And don't forget to run the A/C, for a few minutes, whenever you drive the car in the winter. I assume the Viper is like almost every other modern car. If...

    Why do Viper's have 'cheap plastic interiors'?

    So that it's easy to clean when your passenger hurls! How would you like cleaning vomit off a leather dashboard or door inserts!

    08 Vert, New Owner

    Wish I'd been able to get the gray interior! But why lower the seat? You can't rest your arm on the window sill as it is. Raise it an inch! You sit too low in all modern convertibles.
