Make the 335'5 go 'round FASTER? I have just been thinking about how many more choices we all have as Viper owners as compared to just a couple short years ago. Does anyone know how many more tuners we have available compared to 2-3 years ago? What percentage would you all say that the prices of headers, engine work, superchargers, turbochargers, brake packages/etc... has come down in the last couple years. Also with the emergence of all these different tuners it seems that customer service and standing behind their product has become the determining factor in many, if not all of the upgrades everybody on the Viper board has been purchasing. I am very proud to be a part of the new era where performance gained per dollar spent is only going up! There are so many different forced inducton packages both supercharger and turbo which are DIY, Roe + Heffner with the do it yourself superchargers, and Axis with the do it yourself Turbo kit. Then you have Heffner that has a stage II intercooled Supercharger kit accompanied by a complete engine rebuild for around 20K installed, there's Golden West Performance that does blowers, there's Doug Levin Motorsports who has built the highest HP and number of supercharged cars, (What I see is that all the Heffner and Levin legions have nothing but great things to say about their quality workmanship, customer service and standing behind their product {As well as having ripping a$$ fast cars!} Their customers idoloze them!=> this says a lot about these tuners to make such good HP reliably in such a pioneering fashion! Levin and Heffner really have the whole V-10 fuel management figured out and have built+sold many systems! My hat is off to them! Sean Roe has figured out how to make 50 blower kits at a time and sell volume+quality at a price that is fantastic and makes more power than the Venom 650's for roughly 1/5 the price! I like how Tom Welch has gone the Nitrous route to a 9-second car and makes drag racing videos to help all of us w/lousy 60ft times and does not take any crap from anyone, TNT is still doing what they do best. There are people like Archer racing doing all kinds of setup, suspension work, engine mods/etc..., Autoform Development in Michigan has pioneered work on body panels, body kits and has built some awesome light weight race cars, MGW also has such great products to dress up the Viper, Stoptech has made a phenomenal brake kit for the Viper/etc...Last but not least, there is Scott Sutker and his TOOFAST nitrous kit in the Chicago area(I would not forget you buddy! LOL) For the last couple years, I have been following the forced induction news on the board and am very pleased with what has come to pass! What I have not been following is things like headers, rotors, pads. What other header packages are there out there that make good power? How much do they cost? What kind of power do they make?
