Drag Radials.... does anyone use them for normal street driving?
They are fine for everyday driving in dry/above freezing weather. You'll only get into trouble when you attempt to drive in an aggresive manner, i.e. sharp turns. The fact that they are radials is what provides for the ability to use 'daily', again, provided you are just toolin' around town...- PowerKraus

Towing Viper on this Trailer Question
You got alot of feedback there.....main thing to remember, towing is not about the 'go' power. It is about controlled stopping power. So check your rigs brakes, and if no on trailer; don't tailgate and take your time. And test your stopping distance and if the trailer wants to wiggle-so...- PowerKraus

120,000 miles
Super to hear you've enjoyed your buggy for so many miles, including road racing and drag racing. And on top of that, so few problems. I also enjoy my GTS, bought it used with 800 miles and just flipped 36,000 with 100% Zero Fail miles. It's a keeper just like my original owner 1987 Grand...- PowerKraus

Lighthearted fun...which car gets the most looks, Gen II or III/IV?
bdelass snip <<But after all, the '08 is SSG in color with black stripes.....you know the color....."just give me the ticket already officer, green". And I thought the '97 was bad for drawing attention, but I've literally had 17 year old kids doing drive-by photo shoots at stop lights and gas...- PowerKraus

ok guys my engine buid with pics
Vipzilla, Thank you for taking time to snap photos of your progress. It is great for us DIYers that have not yet 'dug deep' into the motor; beyond & below the intake manifold. Your photos provides nice information, before I start my cam swap I intend to tackle later this year.....July in Texas.- PowerKraus

Valve cover breather needed
I never found a 'cool' looking breather cap, till I came across this thread. I like that cap reference as a mudstang car (?). I may rethink what I have done, after seeing the nicer beathers in this thread. Anyway, if you still want to get the same breather affect, you can "T" into the vacuum...- PowerKraus

Timing Advance on N/A Tune
I've had good luck with adding up to 8 degrees at certain load/rpm points while adding less than 2ms on fueling. WOT AFR at 11.7 to 12.2 with no knock, and very cool motor temps <190. On the 'other side', w/a 200 Nitrox Shot, I tune to a 11.5 AFR and actually pull 4 degress everywhere...- PowerKraus

So how much tuning is involved with a 100 hp shot of nitrous?
You've received excellent advice from 'users'. One more point, ESPECIALLY on a small shot like 100; BE SURE to only hit it with bottle pressure over 950. Even better 1050. It is very easy to become disppointed with a 100 wet shot if you accidently try it out at 800 or 900 psi. It just will not...- PowerKraus

Roe Supercharger or Extreme Nitrous System???
Oh man.... a custom Hogan intake and direct port.....that will be a show stopper, and will make great power numbers too boot. You can also dress up the interior with various lite/buttons in reference to controlling the nitrous, i.e. LED switches for the bottle heater(s), bottle opener, arming...- PowerKraus

Who is selling programmers for the DIYer?
Esteemed Colleagues: Are any vendors selling PCM flash programmers wherein you can create/modify your own tune?:dunno: I did some searching and only came across programmers that limit you to 2 or 3 vendor provided custom tunes with the option to have the vendor 'fine tune' via your provided...- PowerKraus

Roe Supercharger or Extreme Nitrous System???
Opinions needed eh? For show and tell, the nitrous system will have a better GAWK factor with great looking bottles in the back and chromed selenoids, mounts, and lines for up front under the hood. The Viper motor is one of the best looking out there, I think better looking than a blower stuck...- PowerKraus

GTS Finally Finished
Cheers ! Looks great. The Gen I sidepipes look fine, and match your black stripes. More than likely, the 'local' car guys will think it is OEM. I like what you said too. You're gonna keep it forever, and you built it to your standards and taste ! I still have my circa 1987 Grand National...- PowerKraus
