    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Thank you Dan, I am OCD about details which is a good thing considering the speed I'm chasing. Was the event you did the Silver State Classic? That's on my list of events I have to do, probably should just say bucket list :)

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Yes, the fuel system is all -12 with a -10 return. Might be a little overkill but I would hate to make it to 274 and find out the reason was that the fuel lines were too small.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Progress continues and its the last fine details that seem to take the longest. I think it won't be much longer before we are ready to start it up.

    Cold side pipes reworked to fit the new Gen 4 Heads/Intake from Prefix, everything will be coated once all the tig work is completed.

    Ballenger Headers for Gen 4

    I have a set of Ballenger headers I took off of my 2010 Viper. They are in great condition. If you have any questions please ask. I can package for shipment anywhere in US. Asking $1300.00. Thanks, David

    Fuel Rails for Sale

    I have a set of fuel rails for a Gen 3 for sale. They are -12 AN fittings, made by Prefix, anodized blue, and custom made for my high WHP TT Viper. I used them for a few dyno runs and maybe 10 miles before I decided to go to Gen 4 heads/intake. Cost was $1200+ and I'm asking $500. Please let me...

    Headers are coming together. Gearhead is modifying a set of American Racing Headers to fit up to the hot side. They will have to modify both the hot and cold side to make everything work. We went with 1.875" primaries as 2" was too tight of a fit.

    The car uses Motec and is tuned by Chris Delgato out of Prospeed over in TX.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Here are the valve covers showing the coil packs will mount. We machined a hex rod for the mounting. The engine is going back in Blucifer now and hopefully all will go well this time around. Gearhead will make some custom headers with 2" primaries. I'm anxious to hear it running again.

    stand alone ecu

    I ran a ProEFI system when I drove Blucifer to 252 MPH in 2020 and it worked great. I switched to a Motec system for the next attempt because the tuner is able to control so much more. If anyone has any interest I still have the ProEFI complete with the harness to piggyback off the Gen 3 ECU. I...

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Prefix made some custom billet valve covers for Blucifer. Since I decided to use the Gen 4 heads and intake I knew we would need new valve covers. The stock ones don't have the clearance for the Jesel rockers. In addition to being taller they also have threaded holes to mount the coil packs...

    Thank you for the offer, right now I think we have everything covered. Only possibility might be a need for someone with experience repacking the chutes. I'm waiting to see if person who helped before might be available. David

    We do that, use helicopter leading edge tape on every seam, headlights etc. It does make a big difference in how the air flows over the car. We also use a hydroscopic wax on body, glass etc, plus wipers are removed along with the mirrors. It all probably adds up to 3 to 5 mph I would think.

    Here are some pictures of the aero work, not sure if this will be the final version or not.
