    Problems with Woodhouse frame recall, Details inside.......

    Are you reading the same responses I am? I dind't see anyone looking to hang anyone. Everyone seems (to me) to be well reasoned in their replies. I'm with everyone else... I'm saddened to hear about the story, and it seems to be a case that would be easy to resolve, so I'm not sure why it...

    My first 1.5 60' on pilots

    Re: My first 1.5 60\' on pilots When you hit a 1.579 then come talk to me BOY! Just joking... I dont have the slip for that run, but it was at e-town. I know everyone will call BS unless I find it, so let's just say I'm lying and leave it at that and save everyone the hassle :)

    MASH'S APEX 550 STROKER

    Re: MASH\'S APEX 550 STROKER Bill, Thanks for taking the time to look into this further, I'm glad that you are keeping tabs on the situation and I hope you will help in resolving it. Having said that, there *is* material in the manifold. It is the opinion of some highly qualified...

    AEM Viper EMS running!

    Russ, I was under the impression that the OBDII codes were public info, so I would guess AEM would incorporate them into their system... but maybe not? I guess the two questions I would have are: 1) Since the AEM unit replaces the factory ECU, does it do *everything* the factory ECU does...

    AEM Viper EMS running!

    Dan, When you say the AEM unit "cannot allow for all the OBD2 systems to work", what systems do you mean? Do you just mean things like throwing the OBD2 codes (like MIL if you leave the gascap open) or do you mean things like evap and egr on other cars aren't implemented on the Viper? Is the...

    MASH'S APEX 550 STROKER

    Re: MASH\'S APEX 550 STROKER OutThere, I hear what you're saying, and I can't say I disagree with everything you wrote. HOWEVER, there is the letter of the law and the spirit of the law, so to speak. Yeah, Bill/Apex can point to the technical aspects of the warranty, but that seems a cop...

    MASH'S APEX 550 STROKER

    Re: MASH\'S APEX 550 STROKER Bill, I would say that written warranties and whatever are all well and good, but the bottom line is... did something Apex or Apex's suppliers did cause the problem? Let me ask you something - IF it were *proven* that it was grit from the extruding process that...

    AEM Engine Management System New Release

    Chris, Just wanted to say that is an *extremely* impressive setup and shop you have there. I'm sure others besides myself would be interested in what sort of equipment you have, what sort of stuff you do (we know you do AEM tuning but what else?).

    Drag racing/tips and techniques

    Isn't gasoline something like 14lbs/gallon? So I guess the difference between totally full and almost empty could be a couple of hundred pounds... or maybe it was 7lbs/gallon. I'm too lazy to look it up :) Traction comes from the coefficient of friction and the weight - but it's not linear...

    FINALLY A GEN I VIPER SUPERCHARGER KIT AVAILABLE AT A REASONABLE COST!

    Joe after re-reading the post, I am much more in agreement with you. He is coming across as the type of guy that will just try to take advantage of what he probably feels are "rich guys" thinking they would be happy to buy the kit and each time he pockets 2 g's. Certainly not a respectable way...

    AEM Engine Management System New Release

    The thing about the AEM setup is it is absolutely NOT something the DIY'er can do himself. no way, no how. You NEED to tune your car on a dyno, and spend probably a day or more doing it. You can adjust everything - up to and including fuel vs. boost, fuel vs. vacuum/MAP, spark, off-idle...

    Drag racing/tips and techniques

    I will be the jerk and disagree with some of the advice here :) Personally I have only gone slower when I messed around with tire pressure. Maybe drop a couple of pounds if you like but going to 20psi or less is too low, IMO. At that point you just start buckling the tires and get LESS...

    Raced a 03 Z06 last night!

    When he said he thought they were faster, you should have put your fists on your hips leaned back, puffed your chest and laughed heartily. Then kissed his girlfriend, kicked his dog and peed on his wheels. Gotta keep 'em in their place and all, ya know?

    FINALLY A GEN I VIPER SUPERCHARGER KIT AVAILABLE AT A REASONABLE COST!

    Joe, I see where you're coming from, and I too checked his past posts and he always seems to be hawking something, but, it's premature to burn him at the stake just yet. My company manufactures things that are sold through distributors, and we retail them as well. So, you can buy "direct" for...

    How's a 3000 pound Viper sound....

    Re: How\'s a 3000 pound Viper sound.... I think that's a pipe dream. I don't think they can bump displacement and shave 200lbs off the car. No way, no how. More HP = more stress = more weight. We keep hearing all the latest hype from the GM fanboys on how any day they will release the next...

    AEM Engine Management System New Release

    Their website says the MSRP is $3400 and some change, and their price is $2400 and some change, but it looks like they are doing an introductory price (even though it says clearance) of $2200 and some change.

    VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!!

    Re: VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!! By that same metric, do you go to the store and demand, loudly before all the other customers, that they "prove" to you the product works, and when they don't prove to your satisfaction, you heckle them and start telling customers you will sell...

    VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!!

    Re: VIPAIR™ Dyno Results on 99 RT 16 RWHP!! Joe, I totally see where you are coming from, and like you I have a scientific approach to things like this. I'm especially skeptical of horsepower claims after I was disappointed as a teenager when my "throttle body airfoil" I bought for my Vette...

    Frustrated with the VCA

    For what it's worth, a few opinions. First, I hear what folks are saying about "experience", however I don't think it's all that democratic. Anyone who is old enough can run for elected office, and it's probably a lot more important who becomes mayor or governor than who becomes regional VCA...

    Another Woodhouse delivery!!

    Wookhouse? Comeon - I know Bill ain't a looker, but to call him a wookie???? :lol: Just joking - Bill is a really really nice guy and you sure picked a good place to get your car from.

    Need Invoice and Fair Price on Silver SRT with Zero miles on odometer

    I think invoice is in the 72k range, but you can probably find out from Edmunds.com or something. Regarding price, you can undoubtedly get an 04 for less than MSRP (Woodhouse or Tators I'm sure can accomodate) so something less than MSRP, and more than invoice would be appropriate. I always...

    Honest Opinions please???

    Couple of comments on the performance. The highest ever MPH I have seen in a basically stock GTS is 121MPH. I don't know of anyone who has MPH'ed higher than this in a stock car, and even that is pushing it (cold weather, cool car, in other words, perfect conditions). John Myric ran 123mph -...

    who is SELLING a DLM or HEFFNER Supercharged car?

    Help! Viper wrecked at dealer. Fiberglass cracked, don't know what to do!

    Re: Help! Viper wrecked, fiberglass cracked, don\'t know what to do! I'm not a body shop guy, but I had a Vette once that had the "fiberglass" cracked. I believe the Vette was RTM just like the Viper. Anyway, the insurance wanted to pay for a spot repair and fade in the paint. First of all...
