    Pedal spacing

    I wear a 12EEEE and it's pretty bad. I've considered narrowing the pedals by cutting maybe 1/4" off the sides.

    Mystery misfire

    Popping from the exhaust does indicate raw fuel in the exhaust being ignited. I would lean toward the ignition coil or plug wire. If you still have cats, you should fix this soon as fuel on the cats will destroy them.

    Coolant Flush Gen V

    You will need a total of 4 gallons, 2 anti-freeze, 2 distilled water. If a Gen5 is like a Gen3, when you remove the left side block drain, it will drain directly on your starter.

    Short shifter options these days?

    My recipe for a short shifter was cut the head off a bolt the length I wanted it to be, then cut threads in it to match the pitch of the shifter knob I wanted to use.

    What really limits rev capability on these cars?

    Without knowing anything else, I thought the 9L became popular because of limited RPM capability, so just add displacement instead.

    Why did ACRs never have special engines?

    There were rumors since that FCA owned Ferrari also they didn’t want the Viper to out perform Ferrari. Therefore almost no engine development for 10 years.

    $171 wiper refill?

    I bought a spare set of wiper arms for my GEN 3, the plan has been to graft on the more traditional shepherds hook onto them, so they will accept the common wiper blades.

    New Intermittent Whirring Sound - Clutch?

    Might be internal transmission, when you press the clutch it disengages the transmission and gear train stop spinning. Even in neutral.
