    New custom airbox

    I recently got my car back from Joe Donovan at Performance by Joe in St. Louis. He installed the T&D rockers on the car, installed a new clutch, front brakes and a few other miscellaneous items. He also made for me a new custom airbox and a custom catch can (in addition to powder...

    BFG's or Kumho's ?? Who has experience with both?

    Re: BFG\'s or Kumho\'s ?? Who has experience with both? I did exactly what Tony suggested. I have the stock 17's all the way around with the Kumhos on the rear. I also have a spare set of 18's for the back with the BFG Drag radials on them for the track.

    Anyone install a Passport SR7 remote radar/laser detector?

    Aw, come on. Someone has installed a remote radar detector on their Viper and has some pointers on where/how to mount everything.

    Anyone install a Passport SR7 remote radar/laser detector?

    I'm looking into getting the Passport SR7 remote radar detector with the laser shifters and installing it on my Viper GTS. I was just wondering if anyone had installed one of these in their Viper before. If so, where and how did you mount the front radar antenna and 2 laser shifters? Thanks...

    2001 Dodge Viper GTS - Dyno Results

    Did you go with Sean Roe's heads or someone else's? Which cam did you use? Thanks, JB

    Water Methanol Update/Issues

    I figured that because you started at 696 rwhp, I was a shoe-in for that free meal! Pretty clever, I thought. My Roe is coming along great. It's in the capable hands of Joe Donovan as we speak. It's now up to 610/665 on pump gas through the high flow cats. We've decided to ditch the cats as...

    Water Methanol Update/Issues

    I would think that you are running rich. You haven't hurt anything, you just have to retune. You don't necessarily have to go back to the lighter mixture, either. I would put the car on the dyno and see what it is doing. Chances are, it's running a lot richer than it was because of the extra...

    Water Methanol Update/Issues

    Here's my understanding of the issue: The methanol is essentially a high octane fuel. I believe it has an effective octane rating of like 116 octane or so. The water is a cooling agent. Water has an amazing ability to dissipate heat. If you have too much water in the mix, all you are going...

    VEC2 ???

    You can give Sean Roe a call and tell him what modifications you have and he can send a card or two with the VEC2 that should get you close. The ones that came with my supercharger kit were good to get the car up and running, but ultimately, I purchased the software from Sean so I can tune my...

    What are your winter Mod Plans?

    I think most of my winter mod plans are getting done as we speak. I wouldn't mind having my factory wheels chromed, but I think that's about all that's left after Performance by Joe gets done with my car. :) Well, maybe a stereo system. But then that's definitely it. Unless I decide to do...

    VEC2 ???

    It doesn't come with any gauges. It's a control module used to adjust fuel, timing, and auxillary devices like water/methanol injection and nitrous. It is infinitely programmable to your needs with simple software and either a laptop computer or a card reader. To get the best gains from a...

    New Roe dyno numbers

    I am hoping for somewhere around 128 mph. I think our elevation here in Kansas City, Missouri is around 750-800 ft.

    New Roe dyno numbers

    I think your numbers sound exactly right. I'm guessing that if I put my car on my dyno here in town, the numbers will be more like 630/685. In any event, based on what I've seen, a Roe car with basic mods and 8-10 lbs of boost should be in the 610-640 range. I haven't seen many blower only...

    New Roe dyno numbers

    I'm sure I'll be happy with it. I would assume that you can feel 50 rwhp and 70 lb ft of torque in the butt dyno. We've already discussed the next round of major/minor mods for the car. Head work, port matching the blower and the lower intake, a new clutch, a wideband O2 sensor tied into the...

    New Roe dyno numbers

    1998 GTS... Roe 10 lb blower, water/meth, B&B headers, Roe high flow cats, 1.7 rockers, K&N's, smooth tubes. 92 octane pump gas. I took the car to Joe Donovan at Performance by Joe in St. Louis last weekend. Before I get to the good stuff, I want to tell you what kind of guy Joe is...

    Supercharging vs. Twin turbo

    One of the major differences is going to be cost. The average twin turbo kit will run you around $25,000 installed and tuned. Heffner, Underground, RSI and Paolo Castellano all charge pretty much the same price for their kits. On the other hand, a Roe supercharger can be had for around...

    Need opinion on to supercharge or not!

    I suppose if you're concerned about resale value, it may not be a good idea. However, if you didn't buy your car as an investment, but you bought it to drive and enjoy, you won't be disappointed with the blower. My car was a low mileage, 2 owner car. Bone stock. Didn't even have K&N...

    Heater problem, here, too

    Gentlemen, thanks for your replies so far. I believe I had his heater settings correct when he first mentioned to me that it wasn't working well. I will double check them again. I also understand that no actual heat comes out of the center vents, but his doesn't seem to come out of the bottom...

    Heater problem, here, too

    This is not a problem with my car, but a fellow members car (who happens to be out of town on his honeymoon right now). I'd like to see if we can figure out how to fix his heater issue before he gets back. It's a 1993 RT/10. The blower works fine (you can hear the different speeds, etc) but...

    A PRICELESS wedding present from some VCA members.

    We've tried and tried. However, he is blinded by this thing he keeps referring to as "love". The next best thing we could do is show him a good time before his funeral, er, I mean wedding. All kidding aside, Dan's got a great girl and he's a genuinely good guy. I'm sure they'll be happy...

    Best wideband 02 gauge

    So do I need the LM-1 kit PLUS the XD-1 gauge to do that? I was just looking at the standalone gauge kit, which is the LC-1 and the XD-1. Can you not datalog with just the LC-1 and XD-1?

    Best wideband 02 gauge

    So would the Innovate LC-1 with XD-1 gauge (along with my VEC2) give me all the same functions as the LM-1? I just want to get a standalone wideband 02 with a gauge so I can monitor my air/fuel while heading down the track. Logging would be nice, but I want something I can see right in front...

    Best wideband 02 gauge

    I am looking at buying a wideband 02 gauge to moniter air/fuel on my blown GTS. My choices are: (1) Dynojet Wideband Commander (2) Innovate with optional gauge (3) AEM UEGO It has to have a 2 1/16 gauge that you can mount in a steering column pod or pillar pod. Any input on accuracy or...

    Dyno tomorrow any guess on the #'s

    Re: Dyno tomorrow any guess on the #\'s I'd guess it in the 550 rwhp range. Only 6.5# pulley, no water/methanol and no headers.
