    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    There is absolutly no reason to replace the throw out bearing, and pilot bushing, on a new car. Sure the mechanic will replace them on a car that has 30,000 or more miles on it. I really don't want the pilot bushing messed with, as it can be put in wrong very easily. Do have them add a dab of...

    SRT and bad roads??

    You can eliminate most all of the rut following, and annoying road walking, with a better alignment. My car steers as if on a rail track, with my custom alignment. This alignment took them several hours to get right, as the castor setting was very difficult to get right. One more thing I've done...

    Not sure if something is wrong?

    The SRT has what they call a hydrolock setup, and this is not much different than a posi unit. It was rumored to be a torque sensing unit, and I was told by Jerry at Unitrax that it is Nothing more than a posi unit. The Quiffe is a torque sensing unit, and transfers power very much...

    New Paxton believer

    I'm doing the heads on my car, then the Paxton comes next. I'm looking forward to the install. It's nice to see there are now several with this unit on the car. Skip White

    SRT-10 Wheel & Tire Weights?

    Viperfreak your forgetting about rotational weight factors/moment of inertia. Difficult to calculate, but easy to estimate. GM has done well with keeping those factors down, we still have a way to go, but all things considered the SRT is not bad, and fortunatly easy to lighten. Zo6 has...

    Time for new rims, What do you guys/gals think?????

    A two piece rim is stronger, because they can make the part of the rim that conects the way they want, and that is usually very strong in design. One piece has it's limitations. Only on over weight rims whould this not matter. I suppose this applies to the three piece also. I read a very good...

    Oil capacity for rear axel/diff?

    Amsoil is what I've used for 9 years in Vipers, and does not require a friction additive, when using there SER. 2000 What ever you use, don't forget the weight is 75w-140 or wide range, not 75-90. It may be called 80w-140 I have to say the Amsoil company makes the best products in the world...

    Exhaust Insulating Wrap

    The Exhaust system at the primary cat, on up to the collector is 3 inch, or it seemed one section of it may have been, 2.75 inch in diameter, so this would be good to continue with 3 inch, instead of 2.5 as the car comes with past the primary going back. I was surprized to see the car did not...

    SRT-10 Wheel & Tire Weights?

    lowering the srt10

    Big question, soon to be answered. I'm doing suspension work all week on the SRT. Lowering the car, and changing some of the ride characteristics can be changed, but we have run into some problems. Motons, are a racing setup, and very costly. I'm sure we can come up with a product, that can be...

    Exhaust Insulating Wrap

    Most of the heat generated from the exhaust, is coming from the primary cat, and to a lesser degree, the secondary cat, not the exhaust pipe, and I don't think it would be a good idea to wrap the cats. Removing the sec. cat, really helps a good bit. There are many things you can do to reduce...

    Resale Value After Modifications

    What Tom says, does make sense. Items like HRE wheels, lowered suspension, or any appearance mods, are your best for resale. These items are very desirable for new owners, that are in the know of what's hot. Allways keep your old parts, this is very important for collectors, or they may even...

    Resale Value After Modifications

    Here's my thought on the subject. If the mods are choice mods, and have not been on the car for several years, yes they will help the cars value. How much will depend on what they are, and the perspective buyer. The above statement about Nos, is somewhat true. Espesially these guys running a...

    rain & soft top

    Re: rain & soft top Been caught in heavy rain several times, no leak or dampness at all. I think Dodge had some help on the design of the SRT top. It almost reminds me of MB, and BMW in quality. Skip

    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    RedSRT, where was the engagement point on your clutch? In other words, how far from the floor was the peddle before it began to engage? It should have been in the middle. If it was close to the floor, then this is a hydro problem, and it would wear out the clutch very quickly. If you have...

    Clutch Problems/VIN Check

    Do an upgrade on the cutch. You may not want the aggresive style that me and few others are using, but don't waste time putting a stocker back in the car. They just won't hold up, and as I've said a million times, they slip everytime under load. They just can't take the torque put on them with a...

    VEC 2 vs. Split Second??????

    I to will be getting the VEC2 for my Paxton setup. I feel Sean Roe has put in a lot of time into the system, and it's more suited for the car. As a matter of fact, it's designed for the Viper specifically, by someone thats into supercharging Vipers for a living. The VEC2 is not a universal...

    SELLERS BEWARWE!!!

    Very common. I wouldn't think to much about it. If he has changed his mind on his own, I'm sure he's pretty sorry about wasting you time. We've all done this same thing in our lives at least once. Skip

    Any body blown a hydrolock or am I the first?

    Re: tow I'm inclined to think the install was not done right, but there have been a few cases of cruising along and something like this happen. I doubt warranty will cover this, since you had a gear upgrade, and if that's the case, no way I'd go back with oem. I would put a Quaiffe unit in...

    An SRT for $59K

    No I don't think you could get one for $59 with a salvage title, unless it was put together poorly. Maybe a salvage title and high mileage, with general abuse. In reality you may find some 03's for around $63 with 20-K or more miles on them. Skip White

    Hydraulics recall/Squidgy clutch

    Robert, your really going to notice the difference when you hit second under load. The car will lunge forward nicely. I do not recommend speed shifting with the RPS as it really takes hold when shifting. The oem would slip enough to allow for a harder shift, but what good is that if the clutch...

    How to stop annoying wheel hop ?

    Only wheels I know that are five spoak, and light, are the SSR comps. As for rotors, waite a few weeks if you can, and I'll be offering the new all aluminum, steel surface rotors. These will be half the weight of the oem's, plus they will be perforated. This is so much better than the...

    SRT10 POLISHED ALUMINUM WHEELS

    The wheels have a clear coat on them. You can shine up the clear coat with a ultra fine compound. Don't use an aluminum polish. Skip White

    Hydraulics recall/Squidgy clutch

    Robert, your gonna love the RPS setup. I've been through about eight setups over the years on my cars, and the RPS is the best. There will be some heavy chatter for a few hundred miles. After that you will have to engage a bit quicker or a light chatter will result. I have went 3lbs more on the...
