Well, from what I have seen and read they should work very well in the 8.4L engine. I have seen some real world dyno results with these plugs and they are pretty damn impressive. Also, these motors don't turn at a very high RPM and the Denso Racing plugs can easily handle 6500 RPM. :D
Well, the stock Champion Plugs honestly looked like junk! I don't mean the color, I mean the build quality of the plugs themselves. I can't tell you how many of mine had displaced grounds which sure makes it hard to get the correct flame! I'll try to get some pics for you tomorrow.
As for the...
Bruce-
It will be a DIY kit but there will be some changes on the valve cover that can be done by the user. Details will be out as soon as we get the last part in.
If you see Toddy from BBG this weekend ask him about the crankcase vent system I designed for him. He will be selling a "kit" similar the ACR-X kit but this one is even better!! My car will be the 1st to have one and trust me it is sweet!!
Damn! What a story......I think if I had been in your shoes the local coroner would have been REALLY BUSY on Jan 11th. :dead: Glad to hear things have started going your way.:2tu:
Well, I thoought I would post a few pictures of my intake ports so everyone can see how much oil the stock crankcase venting puts into your cylinders. Keep in mind my car has less than 500 miles on it........
In this last pic of the head you can actually see oil running out the...
Is that the DEI wrap in your photo? Also, as I stated earlier I'm going to hold off on doing the poly motor mounts for now. I am doing the trans mount for now.
As for the flywheel......I am waiting to do anything with that till I actually pull the motor next winter.
Bob, it's only a 2009 so I will be looking at the transmission gearing at some point in the future. My plan was to see where I was after doing the heads, intake & exhaust before pulling the whole motor next winter to nuke proof the bottom end. I am hopefull there may be a cam or electronics...
Shooting for 620 RWHP but we'll see what happens. I'm going to be trying some better spark plugs, running 100 oct. unleaded Sunoco Race Gas etc. to get every last drop out of it.
Aproximately 4 hours to pull heads and complete exhaust system......:crazy2:
Amazing amount of oil in the intake runners....:mad:
These cars are very easy to work on and the only real PITA was having to STILL raise the passenger side of the engine to remove the header with the head...
Can't help with your questions but have to agree about living in a great place for road course race tracks!! I have been to Laguna many times and each time seemed special just because of the surroundings. Much nicer not having to worry about over zealous MP's when it was part of the miltary...
Hey, thanks for the usefull info and I would have to say i have learned 90% of what I know about the Gen 4 Viper thanks to guys like you! :headbang:
BTW - I am doing self engineered oil catch can system that is a little more efficiant than the ACR-X set up. It's very similar but the small...
Thanks for the kind words about my Graphite Beast! The Headers are BBG ACR-X American Racing & the rest is all Borla ACR-X spec stuff.
Will send PM soon!:2tu:
Well, I was going to do the motor mounts but after seeing there are some questions about them and the very sensitive knock sensors I am going to hold off for now. Since I plan on pulling the motor next winter to beef up the bottom end I'll have another chance to install them. I will be doing...
I'm taking a different route and using a titanium heat wrap on the headers for this year. Next year I may coat them based on how well the wrap works. Since I have to pull the motor to install a more durable bottom end I'll have another chance to pull them out.
I went with "Hardcore" because...
