    sealant for timing cover gasket?

    Is sealant required/recommended for the timing cover gasket? I normally use RTV ultra black sealant on gaskets but not sure about this one. Thanks for any suggestions.

    roe racing exhaust system

    My first mod to a stock 95 was the Roe exhaust. I have to say I wasn't impressed with it. I would check out fabricating a high-flow cat and spiral flow muffler system - should be half the price of the Roe system and probably sound better. Check out Summit Racing for the spiral-flow. I'm a Roe...

    Poll...Least Desirable Viper Color??? (a REAL poll)

    Least Desirable Viper Color? Why not Most Desirable Viper Color? What is the purpose of this poll? Discouraging that so many here voted for this trash.

    10LB ROE for 2 years

    Yes, the spiral flow and Roe pipe on each side. I have not dynoed since adding the spiral flow but I suspect it costs at least 5% horsepower - I can feel the backpressure in the throttle response in the top end. The spiral flow addition is well worth it, my 6 year old daughter actually...

    10LB ROE for 2 years

    Going on 2 years with my ROE blower and a PBJ tune - it's become so regular that sometimes I forget I'm driving a car with 700 ft/tq. My only complaint after the first year was noise - I solved that by installing a spiral-flow muffler in place of the straight pipe I used to replace the CAT...

    Switch to 3.55 gears

    If you cannot break your tires loose at almost any point in 1st or 2nd then your Viper is not running optimally. Switching gears only eliminates the advantage of the TQ generated by the big V10 - save your money and increase HP/TQ if you desire higher performance. Gears are a cheap game for...

    smog check

    Are there any ROE cars in Chicago which have dealt with the emission tests ? I am trying to determine if I need to go through the hassle of putting the cats on. Thanks

    Rear Gears

    Don't waste time and money doing gears - you aleady have enough torque to shred your tires in 1st and 2nd. Save your money and do a Roe or Paxton blower, there is no substitue for power. Skip this beginner step, it will pay for tires and half shafts later on.

    Roe system emission test

    Has anyone failed an emission test on a Gen1 Roe system, any advise? I am trying to figure out if I need to put the cats back on to pass the test in the Chicago area. Thanks

    All Viper owners reply...

    I can say this, the overly confident SOB driving the Audi on I355 last weekend thinks my car is the fastest in the world.

    Heat shields for Edelbrock headers

    It seems impossible to access spark plugs without removing the Edelbrock header heat shields. Are there other heat shields available which allow better access to the plugs? I am considering cutting out a larger plug access area in the existing heat shields.
