Dynoed my Viper today 612 RWHP 619 RWTQ! 91 pump gas!
Just for the sake of accuracy, those numbers are from one of Lingenfelter's engine dynos, not a chassis dyno. So it's 848hp less 12-15% drivetrain losses. Nonetheless, it is a badass build and the LPE guys really delivered an incredible motor package. :2tu:- Bullet488

My opinion isn't really an opinion, facts are facts. You have your opinion... So is it your opinion that Norm's car: 1) Didn't really run the numbers.. (at least a dozen mid 9's with many witnesses.. I even posted a video for you) 2) Is not really naturally aspirated / nitrous conspiracy...- Bullet488

Ward, You are a great competitor and have figured out my secret.. No hair = fast ! (ask Tony) You have tons of hair = slow ! I'd say having you in the other lane helped us hit that 9.48. Hell, I'm sorry we missed Bradenton this year, I think you could have hit the 8's with some competition...- Bullet488

If I remember correctly, Mark's car had 728rwhp.. Ran 9.9 @ 142-144mph.. Apples to Oranges.. Also, you seem to be making some assumptions about Norm's LPE car. The "standard" 542ci might be advertised at 725hp. Norm's car isn't standard.. The guys from LPE have engineered, tuned and delivered a...- Bullet488

1BADGTS, I think it's Joe, right? I recall meeting you at Englishtown with Evan Smith about 8 ago. You had a B/W GTS and would only run on street tires. Nase was at the track running slicks. Anyway, I ran Mark Heidaker's 1996 RT/10 to a 9.9ET back in 1999 with TNT heads cam + a healthy shot of...- Bullet488

One last note.. Just to be clear.. You referenced a DLM, HMS and the now defunct TNT as your guidelines to 1/4 potential? Since when have these been the benchmarks for what can be accomplished on the dragstrip? AND street tires on 9 second cars? Why? I've personally driven at least 10...- Bullet488

:dunno: Street tires? Not sure where you got that? We like to go fast and don't run the car on pilots. I'm not claiming to have run anything other than what I can prove which is 9.48 at 145+ mph on slicks. Hell, I can bog the car, hit the rev-limiter and still hit 9's. We've done it many...- Bullet488

I can't speak for the owner, but I'd be happy to wager on the numbers.. I personally drove the car to a best time of 9.48@145mph (high mph of 148.xx). NO Nitrous.. NEVER had it.. ALL MOTOR.. On slicks.. T-56 6-speed.. IRS.. etc.. etc.. Regarding LPE, Ryan is the newest sales guy and quoted the...- Bullet488

Roe Blower and light flywheel???????? ASAP, Please!!!
I guess that's one possibility... Here's another... Hmmmmm... Appears to be from Milan dragstrip in Fall 2001 - just like "yours". :nono: Do they print special timeslips for Ex-executives? :bonker: I'd love to see another All Motor contender. I just think you might wanna try speaking of...- Bullet488

Roe Blower and light flywheel???????? ASAP, Please!!!
One is real.. One is fantasy... Can you guess which is which.. I don't care IF the car exists. (if it does) I don't care what the car SHOULD run. But I'm surprised you would pass this garbage as fact and continue to support the lie. So, should we conclude that when John Lingenfelter drove...- Bullet488

Roe Blower and light flywheel???????? ASAP, Please!!!
;) I know a "streetable" Viper, N/A, big motor etc. can run mid nines... At 3400lbs.. But I also KNOW for a fact it took A LOT of work to get it done. A Lot more than backpedaling and spouting off about some OE manufacturer's resources. To claim 791rwhp (never been done before), 2590lbs...- Bullet488

Dyno hp max in 4th or 5th gear?
When you take your car to the dyno, the dyno operator (read: NOT you) will dyno the car in 4th gear. It's a big drum that you are accelerating to measure horsepower - nothing more. The dyno WILL NOT hurt your engine. Overrevving or running a bad tune WILL hurt your engine, whether you're on the...- Bullet488

Help with parts; cross between Auto & Rehab
I think the small lightweight shocks on a suspension bicycle might be just what you're looking for. I imagine that you could change the internal "discs" in the small "coil over" to soften the dampening for a child. Another choice, the "Air Spring Shock" uses high pressure and that pressure...- Bullet488

N/A Viper Power
Package cars "as advertised" by tuners mean nothing. Promising what you "think" you can build for advertising purposes is often complete BS when it comes time to complete the car. RSI has only built ONE serious N/A viper and that was a Gen II. It was a 510ci high compression stroker motor and...- Bullet488
