    VEC1 installed [Dyno results]

    I had mine done on a custom Enron Dyno (certified by Arthur Andersen). My Viper has 15,555 RWHP and RWT is 18,056 lb/ft. really though.. I can pick up differences in my car by the presense of tire shake during a "roll on" acceleration from 10MPH. on hot humid days, 90 degrees+, there is...

    Supercarschicago drag shootout results - PICS!

    my first time racing this car, and it showed!! After "Shaq-Peddling" the car off the line a half dozen times (applying too much throttle), I finally figured out you have to baby that thing out of the hole to do better. (Still only managed a 12.37 at 116.99 mph. with 2.07 60 ft time on last...

    Drag racing questions

    I'm going to venture out to Great LAkes Dragaway tomorrow.. first time running the Snake..and I have a couple of quick questions: 1) Tire pressure? what should I be running in the rear tires? 2) Does powershifting serve any purpose with street tires? seems to me, on the street it just gives...

    Valentine One wiring

    OK I've checked out some previous posts, someone mentioned a "piggy back" connector for the spade type fuse holder at Radio Shack. No dice.. they don't have them by me. I'd like to hardwire this thing, but before I go tearin stuff apart, I figured I'd ask.. where, specifically...

    Selling the Vette getting a Viper

    my .02.. BP offers a great deal net net.. my local dealers do not have a good rep in Viper community.. (Schaumburg Dodge) so distance didn't matter.. I ended up going through Herb Gordon 'cause they let me test drive the car (locals wouldn't) and they also had viable way to take...

    Winter storage

    I've read through some of the posts on winter storage and I have 2 questions: What is the reason for blocking the windshield wipers off the glass? What is the benefit of opening the windows a crack vs. leaving them closed? (I think I'm paranoid some critters will crawl under the car cover...

    OMG-it happened, in the DITCH

    I'm new to the Viper.. (Sept 01) but I noticed a big difference when the cooler weather hit Chicago... the tires break loose all too easy if I jump on the throttle even at 20-25 mph... no clutch I'm thinkin the engine likes the cold air a bunch and the traction is worse when the...

    brakes squeek on new Viper

    Car is 2001 GTS. Curious if the noise quiets down over time, if not, I'll probably have the EBC pads put on. I had high performance brakes on F355 and there was some noise with them, but not this loud. Vinman
