    Can someone explain a VEC2

    Before spending $1000 on a VEC 2, I would recommend spending $40-50 on 2 dyno pulls with A/F ratio plotted against RPM. My understanding (correct me if I'm wrong) is that stock and lightly modified cars benefit most with a VEC2 by adjusting the A/F ratio. Alteration of the spark advance is...

    Your kids and your viper !!

    My son's are now 21 and 24. But when I first bought my viper in 1994 they were only 9 and 12. From the start they showed an interest in the car and enjoyed riding along. After they got their licenses I let them drive with me in the passenger seat. As they got more familiar with the car, I let...

    1994 Dodge Viper exhaust upgrades

    I got the 3" stainless exhaust with the Borla muffler (without cat) for my '94 from Northwind Engineering. No more hot sills! It mates with the stock exhaust manifold so you can swap it out when it's time to smog. When I added Belanger headers, I had the stock cat/muffler modified so I can...

    Seat lowering kits

    Northwind Engineering (see performance parts section) has a 2" lowering kit. The only caveat is that it fixes the seat in the rearmost position. I drive with the seat more toward the front so I went with their adjustable 1" kit

    Autoform Hardtop Gen 1 Head Clearance?

    Thanks for the measurements. I am 6'2". While sitting on the floor against a wall, I measure 40" to the top of the helmet. Unless I recline the seatback, it looks like I'm stuck without a hardtop. Fortunately, I have the Autoform rollbar but it would be nice to have the insurance of the top if...

    Autoform Hardtop Gen 1 Head Clearance?

    I would appreciate it if someone who owns an Autoform hardtop on their Gen 1 could post the height from the back of the driver's seat cushion to the inside of the top with the seat in the most forward position. Also mention whether you have a seat lowering kit. I emailed Autoform and all they...

    Vipera: You might want to check out West Coast Vipers in Murrieta, CA. www.westcoastvipers.com John Horton installed an autoform roll bar in my RT/10 and I was very happy with the install. I agree with Courtney that it is a very good investment if you are tracking your car. I was at Viper...

    Going to get dyno'd tomorrow. What can I expect??

    Re: Going to get dyno\'d tomorrow. What can I expect?? As you can see below, I have similar mods with the exception of Stage 2 heads from West Coast Viper and a new cam ( I believe it is a comp coupe) I chose a mild cam as I wanted driveablity on the street. The result was 510 RWHP/547 RWT

    Re: Chemists, Engineers, Dentists, and Flunkies like me look in here pleas I suspect the addition of oxygen has nothing to do with generating N20 and in fact is to produce a N20 and oxygen mix. Nitrous oxide used for analgesia is not given at 100%. It needs to be mixed with oxygen ( for...
