    E-85

    Just switching to E85 alone will not be worth it. You will need bigger injectors and a new tune, plus your range will be dramatically less. Without much higher compression or forced induction, power gains will be small.

    Cam questions

    You should should expect about 50rwhp gain if the car has headers. You need to change the valve springs and run the low bleed lifters or you will have issues. I suggest you upgrade the pushrods as well. I have a calibration for that if needed, it requires a 180 or 170 thermostat.

    Gen 3 Irregular Wear on Valve Stem and Rocker

    I would say you have a bad lifter. You get wear like that when you have play in the lifter. You mentioned a tapping noise?

    Emergency Brake Assembly not engaging

    The problem is with the ratchet assembly in the parking brake handle. If you remove the handle assembly you will see a spring loaded dog that goes into the detent for the handle ratchet. That sticks. Clean it up and lubricate it, then make sure it works.

    Gen V ACR Stereo

    Activating the system is critical. If you install everything and try to use it, the body controller will fail. There is also some wiring that needs to be switched.

    Speed with Soft Top

    The soft top will come off at exactly 147mph. I have confirmed this. Keeping the front latches tight so there is no air gap between the windshield to and seal is critical. The is an adjustment if you remove the latch.

    Do I actually need a tune (or a VEC1)?: 96 GTS heads/cam 511 whp (but then there's 675 nitrous)

    The VEC 1 was used before the production computer could be tuned and was a compromise. The electronics tended to not be automotive grade and failed over time. With tuning software and lots development over years with those who are involved with Viper's. Tuning is more straightforward and...

    rear main seal while i'm in there?

    I would not replace these unless there is some leakage. The design of the factory seal is good. Pressing the new seal in the old retaining plate can cause issues if not done right. The flywheel bolts should be replaced.

    What software for Oem ECU Remap?

    Dan Lesser can help you. If you are using Belanger headers, I would highly recommend you relocate the upstream O2 sensors into the collector. The current location is in one header tube, close the head, to reduce trouble codes for the sensor heating element, not warming up fast enough. Problem...

    Looking for honest answers regarding Gen III & IV Parts Availability

    There is very little in parts from the dealer, but there is a large network of companies to tap into for OE and used parts. They are expensive, but what is not these days. Also the fact that so many of these cars have been salvaged (Torque is something people don't get, we sold them on Friday...

    Gen I 1992/early 93 Radiator removal versus late 93 & up & Gen II. Total Insanity!

    92-93's are a ***** to remove the radiator and bleed the air out of the system. They did not come with AC and when added could overheat. The fans where part of the radiator support which made them hard to service. The cooling system was updated in 1994 to include a single two speed fan and a...

    GEN5 Antigravity Lithium Battery

    These are great as long as they don't become discharged for any period of time. Then they wont recover. Batteries are consumables like tires and oil. I just change Viper batteries every three years and use a sealed battery. A battery tender helps if you only drive every few few weeks. For...

    Slight driveline vibration after trans. swap.

    It could just be the nature of that used trans, in a different car. You just never know with used parts. You might want to have the driveshaft sent out and checked for balance. I had a couple on racecars that bent the shaft , causing a vibration.
