    1995 Chrysler Viper GTS-R GT1

    The GT-1 class is inaccurate for a chassis number this high. It would have been a GT-2. The first year of Viper GTS international competition was against the Porsche and the McLaren GT-1 cars. Despite carbon/carbon brakes, and 700+hp engines in the sprint races, the Viper was out of its depth...

    GTS Control Arm Bushings (Need & Cost)

    That's a great price. Did this include ballasted bolt torquing and an alignment?

    1993 RT/10 8,500 miles T-N-T Motorsports tune with estimated 777 HP

    777 appears to be the max torque, not HP. I don't recall any TNT Gen1s being built with the King Snake designation. Pretty much limited to the Gen 2 with JTEC controllers. They were doing nice work when this one was built.

    GTS Control Arm Bushings (Need & Cost)

    If you decide to replace the rack bushings, be absolutely sure to keep the shims under each side of the rack taped together and marked by side for proper re-installation. The OE rubber bushings are factory torqued in a fully ballasted condition and have a lot of preload on them. Even if driven...

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    We appreciate the flow of project updates! A couple of weeks ago on the FB Professional Awesome Racing Technical Forum I followed a link to a white paper comparing wind tunnel testing of a pro-stock style rear spoiler vs a well engineered wing. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find that...

    Low fuel pressure on start

    It does not have to be PTFE, but needs to be rated for modern fuel injection use.

    Low fuel pressure on start

    Quick question - is the hose you bought rated for alcohol-based fuels? Group experience agrees it is a vital element to ensure.

    Is This A Door Sag/Hang Issue?

    At 26+ years old, my '96 had this problem on both doors. I removed the door panels and adjusted each hinge and striker plate so that after a button press, the doors pop open about 1" - exactly like they did when the car was brand new. They closed easily, snapped firm and the door gaps were...

    Who distributed this packet of posters/info and how should I label it to sell it on eBay? I can't seem to find anything comparable.

    Hang tough Brother! In that spirit - I spent a full day at COTA last Thursday running (4) 30-minute sessions on a restricted entry day. It was Glorious! My car was Born On 5/29/96 and last Thursday was 1 day short of it's 30th Birthday. 42,600 miles - over 6000 on a race track somewhere. People...

    Viper Mechanic (Alignment) Central Ohio

    With all fresh bushings, you can start with all 8 cam pairs pointed straight up in their slots. Unless the car has been bent, that should get you a pretty benign caster/camber setting and all you need to do is set the toe to spec. Once you've found a good shop, they can fine-tune to your driving...

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Man those Motion Race Works valve cover breathers are becoming de rigeur these days and for good reason. Is all your fuel system -12?
