    Observations while Twin Turbocharging a 2014 SRT GTS

    It's remarkable how much you've accomplished with that car in such a short period of time. Can't wait to see the final results and dyno numbers.

    2010 ACR Vooodoo Edition

    Don't do it Thomas! I know the car and the owner. The car is immaculate. He has far too many gorgeous, rare automobiles to ever rack up any miles on any of them. I'm not trying to speak for Thomas, but he is the original owner and the car is stored in a climate controlled car condo with...

    Paxton Supercharged 2006 Coupe Build Thread

    Are you spraying out of the hole, once you hit 2nd gear, or at a predetermied MPH? Those look like great passes. What did your car dyno on the bottle vs. off the bottle?

    How important are rear tires for steering? Trying to decide on front/rear combo.

    Probably one of the best answers you're going to get. I personally have Nitto Invos on the front and have two sets of rear rims. One set with matching Invos on the rear and one set with drag radials. The car is MUCH more balanced and predictable in corners with matching Invos all the way...

    900 RWHP from a Novi2000 Supercharger. Is it Possible?

    It also depends on who the tuner/builder was. Some tuners' builds command more of a premium than others, because they have a proven track record of performance and back up their work. Using Gallardos as an example, you can find Heffner Twin Turbo Gallardos (or Titan TTG's, or even Dallas...

    Twin Turbo First Edition for Sale

    Chuong, I think he's now just under $80k for the car. THAT is a hell of a deal.

    SCT for the Gen 5

    Jack, if that's indeed true, that may actually be what saves the Viper. I'm serious. If guys with Gen IV's and V's can start modifying their cars again, it may revive the Viper community. I know a couple of guys who sold their Gen IV's simply because they got bored with them due to the...

    Motec M150 PNP kit

    And I don't disagree that if you're doing a BIG build that you shouldn't skimp on engine management. If you're already throwing $40k at a built motor, head/cam, twin turbos, etc, etc., then maybe another $9k isn't a big deal. However, there is no "budget" tuning device for those just wanting...

    Motec M150 PNP kit

    So much for being able to tune a Gen IV with a $500 SCT handheld, a $500 VEC2 or 3 or even a $2500 AEM. $9000 just to be able to "tune" a Gen IV? Ouch.

    Anyone hit near 700rwhp on pump gas with a paxton?

    Ah. Gotcha. That makes perfect sense. And I agree with that. In order to take advantage of the 2500, you absolutely need a built motor, big heads/cam, upgraded fuel and a lot of boost (and therefore, less compression). Otherwise, the 2000 is plenty.

    GTS guys spraying juice

    On spray, richer is safer. You don't want so much fuel that it puddles or backfires in the intake, but I think an 11.0:1 AFR would be pretty safe on the bottle.

    GTS guys spraying juice

    200 shot is not uncommon on a factory forged motor. Just make sure you put in colder plugs and tune for it. It's generally a good idea to pull a degree or two of timing as well..

    Anyone hit near 700rwhp on pump gas with a paxton?

    I finally outran the Novi2000 and had to switch to the 2500. I've now outrun the 2500 as well. However, they don't make anything bigger, so I'm stuck where I am for right now. However, you are going to need heads/cam at a minimum before you outrun the flow of the 2000. I disagree about the...

    TT Wide Body, a dyno and John Reed

    Mike, please don't take this the wrong way, because I consider us friends. But 1400 rwhp? I hate you. :) I knew when you started that project it was going to be sick. Perfect blend of show AND go. Congrats. All of your time and patience has REALLY paid off. Can't wait to see that bad...

    Video of my wife beating a Lambo in her Gen5 Viper. LOL!

    My only regret is that there is no reputation points to give to you for this thread. I definitely approve of that video. And of that car. And of your wife.

    Grandson takes delivery of first 2013 SRT Roadster tonight for birthday

    My son is 2 1/2. He went for his first official ride in the Viper last weekend. The new 16v Gen V is definitely in his future. I was going to wait until his birthday in December, but it may be too cold to ride it outside, so I'm looking for an excuse to get it for him sooner.

    2008 Viper ACR odometer fraud

    I've heard of a car that the owner pulled the gauges and ECU while the miles were still super low and just stuck them in the garage. He installed a set of used gauges and ECU and drove the car for years, running up the mileage on that setup. When it came time to sell, he swapped back in the...

    08 Coupe for sale in the classifieds

    You could buy this car and do a completely built motor (with forged internals and zero) miles, plus head/cam for probably less than a stock 08 with low miles. Great deal. And very tasteful mods. Good luck with the sale!

    UGR Supercharged GTS dyno

    I don't have an overlay of the Novi2000 vs. the Novi2500. The current setup runs a 2.75" blower pulley and makes around 14 psi at redline. I have no idea what it will trap on the new setup. They closed our local track due to a bunch of political BS. Hoping to get to Heartland Park or...

    UGR Supercharged GTS dyno

    I guess I never got around to posting the dyno sheet of my car from our last dyno day. This was on pump gas with water/meth. Underground Racing built 510, JM Stage 3 heads, UGR cam, UGR fuel system, Paxton Novi2500, AEM, etc. I think the car still has a little more in it. We are going to...

    First poor sales transaction on the forums.

    Re: First poor sales transaction on the forums. 08viperviolet That's pretty much a law school 101 fraud. Seller made statments that he knew or should have known to be false (he knew his item had scratches and he used a photo of an item that was not his). He intended for the hearer to rely on...
