Joe the VE of the engine with the JM race cylinder heads is much higher than the GTSR CNC heads that we made 1725hp at the wheels with. The system that SVS has on the car the intercooler,turbos,cam,lifters,heads,block,dry sump system and the excellent tuning and time that is spent on perfecting this complete system has made this one of the most efficient turbo applications that has ever been done to the Viper V-10. Joe when you run consistent 55&60 degree chargeair temps on a 8500rpm engine that has the same 76 /96 a/r turbos that you are running,sit back and figure out the efficiency.
<font color="blue">Ron I have no doubt the combination of the Engine build you have done supplemented with the JM cylinder heads combined with a 55 degree intake charge will make some decent power to say the least! </font>
If you doubt us now what are you going to say when it makes over 2000hp @ the wheels the next time we tune the car. I forgot to tell you that the JM cylinder heads flowed 70cfm more than the GTSR heads.
<font color="blue">Ron are you saying the JM cylinder heads flow 400 CFM at .600 lift?
I know they are a better design in every way than the GTS-R heads and are stronger and have better cooling capacity, but they do not flow 400 CFM according to Jeff Morys who designed and built these heads. </font>
If you had all the information you would be a believer. I gave you some very important facts for you to use. I would like to share with you that if Paulo continues to spend enough money with Mike LeFever at Mitech and not have as many problems getting to where SVS is now, he to will build his system very efficient. It only takes money and time.
<font color="blue"> Ron, Mike is building the motor and doing the tuning. He has been building turbo engines successfully for Bonneville for over 25 years.
He built the engine and turbo system for the first stock bodied production vehicle that went over 300 MPH at Bonneville.
I will certainly benefit from Mike's years of experience at Bonneville when the engine is finished and my car is ready to go. </font>
Mike knows how to build a very good Turbo system let him do it.
<font color="blue">Ron, I designed and built the original system on my car.
I spent every waking moment of my life after work until 3:00 or 4:00am and every weekend at least 16-18 hours Saturdays and Sundays for over 14 months to build a system more efficient than all the rest including yours(no offense).
Seeing your system on the engine stand was very motivating to say the least!
I set out to do something completely different than your design and accomplished the following:
My system has equal length headers within .6% of each other in length.
The turbo exhaust is nowhere near the pipe coming from the intercooler going into the throttle body.
My system has the capacity for dual 5" exhaust.
My turbos are mounted to the engine and there is flex built into the system in all planes of movement in regards to where the engine mounts flex and the frame/chassis is rigid.
The air intake for the turbos comes straight in through the front bumper.
The flow of exhaust gases into wastegate and back into the exhaust on my car is perfect.
By the time I called Mike, everything above was already completed.
I had help initially welding, but the design is all mine, Mike had nothing to do with the system that was on my car or the slightly upgraded version to fit turbos bigger than the ones that were on before.
With a Mike LeFevers, Mitech engine my system SHOULD be more efficient and more powerful than any Viper before it.
I have learned quite a lot by doing myself, I still have a lot to do and to learn just like everybody else out there.
I conceptualized, designed and fabricated just about the entire front mount DIY Viper TT system myself.
I build all the prototypes to the point whereby many of the jigs are made.
I have also built a single and twin setup for a Mustang.
The quality of my welds is getting to the point where it looks pretty good.
My fabricator still welds everything for anything I sell to my customers.</font>
All we are going to do is build them for our customers that can afford them and have the balls to beat our records go out and do it.And we will help them do it. SVS's goals are coming full circle this year and next.
<font color="blue">Ron, that seems like a nice goal!
I believe my DIY TT system is the capable of similar efficiency to your Stryker TT system with the proper motor, engine management, tuning. I should have some #'s to show we are going in the right direction in the very near future!
