The Quest for 275 MPH
We are working on the piping to route it in the best position and keeping the bends to a minimum. Hopefully we will wrap this part of the project soon so we can get the car on a dyno and start tuning for the big WHP and big speed.- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
In an effort to make the car a little more aero at the speeds I'm hoping to reach we are making small tweaks to the body, diffuser, etc. This picture shows the fog light covers being made, the metal is rolled/formed to tightly fit up against the bumper. Then a "angled cup" is tig welded to the...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
Headers had a few small cracks that were repaired by Lakeland Speed and Custom and then Jamie had them recoated. They will be putting heads back on soon and bolting up headers, turbos, etc. It's coming together and we are making sure it's as ready as we can possibly make it for the next run. I'm...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
I had the Greg Good heads off of Blucifer refreshed by Nelson Competition over in Pinellas Park Florida. Kris did a great job, checked everything form pushrods, lifters, rockers, valves and springs etc to make sure it was all in spec. Heads were decked, valve seats cleaned up and everything...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
The progress marches onward and I have had to switch to a sequential as I can't find a 6060 or T56 that has the gears I need along with the torque rating required. I'm an old school guy who really wanted to do this with a H pattern but the choices were don't run, run with a sequential or run...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
Hey everyone, been a while since I've discussed the plans for the next attempt at a big speed. We are back on the car making changes and prepping it for the effort to break 275+ but honestly any speed faster than the 252 MPH run gives us more data to work with. We have the tires/wheel...- FST SNAKE

Bonneville Salt Flats 200mph 2003 viper questions
Tony where are u located? I don't think a stock Gen 3 is capable of 200 MPH. You will need a few bolt on components but I'm glad to discuss any of it with you. David- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
Thank you, I want the 275 but I'm also not afraid to lift if that's what the situation requires. Besides the little bit of tail wagging it's a very stable car, but of course every mph gets it closer to the edge of that. I will take great care to make sure it's a safe run.- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
Excellent thought, could take the tail wagging out of the car at higher speeds. I will look into that. I am looking into possible time in a wind tunnel and adding vertical fins will be on the list of options to run. I will let u know how it turns out. Thanks- FST SNAKE

My 05 need a tranny...Help
I have a 6060 from a Gen 4 I would sell. The T56s tended to be really notchy to me vs 6060s which are very smooth. I'm not sure what all would need to be done if anything to put a 6060 in a Gen 3 but I know lots of people have done it. Let me know if you are interested. I would send it to a...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
Thanks for the input, I do rake the car prior to any runs. The front is lowered as much as possible and the rear is typically a few inches higher. I have some data from past runs that we use to make these adjustments. The tires obviously grow in height with the centrifugal forces acting on them...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 275 MPH
Well the high from 252 MPH is starting to wear off and we all know what the next number should be. I'm looking into what it will take to reach the next logical goal of 275+. Some of the concerns are the tires and which ones should I be using considering the speeds I want to attempt. I have been...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 250 plus MPH
Yea Steve I grew up in that timeframe too, cars still had carburetors, points and condensers, now I watch tuner plug in and make a few keystrokes, unplugs and tells me he added 200 more WHP. It's definitely a new world. Back in the day we bolted on HP. I had a bunch of those cars you mentioned...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 250 plus MPH
He did 199.648 in the 2.3 mile run and I think he broke 200 in the 2.7 mile. We were having issues by then so I didn't get to follow the other cars. The GT was stock so should have done low 200s I'm thinking.- FST SNAKE

This is my favorite picture, this was last run of the day, and it was either go big or go home, we had to be off the runway by 5 pm and I think this was somewhere between 4:30 and 4:50 pm. 43 seconds after this picture was taken I crossed the 250 MPH mark, and 13 seconds after that I crossed the...- FST SNAKE

The Quest for 250 plus MPH
Thought I would share a few more pictures from Jan 18th. This is me lined up behind a Ford GT that drove from Titusville FL to West Palm Beach and back the day before to put enough miles on it to break in the engine, it barely had 500 miles on it when he got back I think.- FST SNAKE
