    10.43 @ 137 Roe only!

    I know you weren't talking to me, Tony, but my goal is to put the car in the 9's on boost only. No stroker motor, no nitrous. And I think it can be done on pump gas. I know I'm asking a lot, but I honestly think it can be done.

    10.43 @ 137 Roe only!

    I think that based on the weight of the car, we need to make around 740 rwhp or so to pull off a 9 second pass. The car dyno'd 610/655 in St. Louis and 630/675 here in KC as it sits, but the trap speed would indicate it's making much more power. I have to assume the big torque numbers throw...

    10.43 @ 137 Roe only!

    I consider ET Streets or ET Drags a "slick". Drag radials are still just, well, drag radials.

    10.43 @ 137 Roe only!

    Thanks, Joseph. That's EXACTLY why Joe, Greg Good and I want to do it. Because everyone says it can't be done. :2tu: And for the record, the 1/8 mile time was 6.741 @ 105.49 mph. :)

    10.43 @ 137 Roe only!

    Joe Donovan, owner of Performance By Joe, drove in from St. Louis to Kansas City on Saturday afternoon for the Midwest Shootout at our local track. He called me on Friday afternoon and said he was coming in town, so I quickly registered my Viper for the event. We met at the track on Saturday...

    Before and After JM's Striker Heads - Not so creamy anymore!

    Re: Before and After JM\'s Striker Heads - Not so creamy anymore! Tony, You are correct about the rockers. The new Stryker heads have to have completely custom made Jesel rockers. They come with the heads. The offset of the valves, etc is completely different from a stock GenII Viper head...

    You want to see a VOI.10?

    Dang. I guess I'm the only simp in the group who can say I had a good time and really didn't have anything to complain about. The closest complaint I guess I'd have is that there was no announcement about the new Viper. But I didn't really figure there would be (considering dealers still...

    zen for sale!

    I told Ron this privately, but I'll say it publicly as well: His SRT-10 is absolutely beautiful. Great color. Great list of mods. Low mileage. And priced right. It has virtually every interior upgrade, performance upgrade, and stereo upgrade you can get. Someone is going to get a heck of...

    Has anyone bought from Premier Cars?

    Cut Darryl some slack. He's got "new Viperitis". He can't help it. :) Besides, I'm sure Premier won't be too upset about another positive testimonial from a new customer. Just shows that they're STILL a first rate operation. Congrats on the new car, D. Hope to see you next Friday at...

    Where can I get the best price on a ROE supercharger?

    I was extremely pleased with the price Tony Armour (1TONY1) gave me on the Roe blower, along with the water/methanol kit, new plug wires, etc. Very good guy to deal with, too. Authorized distributor for Roe stuff AND uses the products personally. I'm sure there are other good distributors...

    Get more boost from your Roe Blower!

    Kenny, I really hope you get this whole thing sorted out, and it doesn't end up costing you any more than it already has. I'm sure between all the people you've got pulling for you that it will eventually get squared away. Larry, I'm not sure why you keep calling me Joe, but that's not...

    got it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Kurt, Weren't you paying attention? He was there last Friday with us at Mickey's. He was in the Mustang. He was sitting next to me at my table with Kurt and Cheryl. I guess we made him feel like family. D, Looking forward to seeing you at more events in the future. Of course, you're...

    Whi Mamba

    Well, since the owner of the car is a friend of mine, and Joe Donovan (who built the car) is my tuner, I guess technically I should be entitled to first rights to the car. :) In all seriousness, the guy who owns the car is a "spare no expense" kind of guy and the guy who built the car is one...

    S/C Gains with Ported Heads

    Yes, Brian. That is exactly the person about whom I speak. :) Joe is the man when it comes to getting a LOT out of a LITTLE as far as nitrous is concerned.

    S/C Gains with Ported Heads

    Joe Dell speaks the truth. I know that some tuners hate the idea of using a wet shot on a twin screw and spraying fuel through the rotors. The trick on the Roe is use a small dry shot (40 or so), some good fuel (104+ octane) and dial in a fair amount of timing. A dry 40 shot with proper...

    Whi Mamba

    Valentine, I DO personally have knowledge of Joe Donovan (Performance by Joe) as do several other Viper owners in the midwest and all over the country. Check any thread related to finding a tuner in the midwest, and you undboutedly find Joe's name at the top of the list. He worked for Dodge...

    Whi Mamba

    I've seen and heard the car in person. Joe Donovan built it. The guy that owns it goes through cars like most people go through underwear. I believe he already has a new C6Z06 a new SUV and still has his GTS with a TON of work being done to it. The SRT-10 was just another toy. That thing...

    anyone looking for a CLEAN GTS?

    That car is the real deal. The guy that owns it is a Viper super freak. He is probably one of the best Viper techs around (although not certified) and has forgotten more about exotic cars than most people have ever learned. The car is literally almost disassembled just to clean it. It's...

    Get more boost from your Roe Blower!

    Larry, Maybe you should re-read what I said. I had assumed you read it because you quoted it right before you started calling me names. I defy you to point out in that post where I said anything about "not getting what he paid for". In fact, I'll defy you to point out where I ever even...

    Get more boost from your Roe Blower!

    Wow. I certainly didn't see an attack against you in my comments, but I sure as hell don't like the tone of voice you're taking with me in yours. I asked a simple question and then expressed my surprise that Kenny CLEARLY didn't get what he paid for. His post about how disappointed he was...

    Viper Tech in STLouis

    Goldcup, Anytime you're interested, our local Viper Club gets together every Friday around 7 p.m. at Mickey's Irish Pub at 97th and Quivira. They have great food. We have special VIP parking up front for Vipers only and the whole patio roped off just for us. It's a great time. We always...

    Get more boost from your Roe Blower!

    Are you sure that's what you heard? :p Regardless of the timing, I'm looking forward to seeing what this car can do with head/cam/blower and Joe's tuning. He doesn't know it yet, but I'm going to push for a late October completion date because we have a HUGE F-body track day in November...

    Get more boost from your Roe Blower!

    Marty, You are absolutely right. His knowledge of building/tuning fast cars has spilled over into several different markets now (Mustang, Camaro, Viper, Supra, etc). On top of his knowledge of cars, he is just a SUPER cool guy to be around. Unfortunately, his sterling reputation has also...

    A Good deal at the Venetian

    There are a few of us from Kansas City who are going up the weekend before VOI, just to get a little sighseeing/partying in before the Viper stuff starts. We are all staying in the Venetian, of course. Should be a really good time.

    Get more boost from your Roe Blower!

    Not a problem at all, Kenny. I'm telling you....that guy might as well have a big "S" on his chest when it comes to Viper tuning. I just want to see you get that beast all ironed out (without spending a ton more money). It's obvious your car has a lot of potential. If there is any more HP or...
