    How to stop annoying wheel hop ?

    You will have to use an E-Brake relocator kit maybe. I didn't but some wheels are more a little different in the barrel. No big deal, and it'n not expensive. You would love the SSR comps on the car. They are much better looking than the pics show them to be, and they are only 19.5 lbs each...

    Lowering 1"

    Re: Lowering 1 I believe this to be true, what Daniel says. There is only so much piston travel on the oem setup, and if you lower the spring rate, you will have very little shock travel left. This will bottom out the shock and ruin it. This is one of the reasons the spring rate has to stay...

    Suspension R&D Project

    Re: Suspension R&D Project Daniel says, Hey Skip- I have something else that may be a possibility to add onto a Viper. I am doing a little R&D on it, but it seems quite difficult to get the information out of people. So far, seems possible. Certainly on the pricey side- but think...

    Alice's Top 10 Reasons for Trading for a C6

    Re: Alice\'s Top 10 Reasons for Trading for a C6 I love everything about a Corvette, and I mean everything, but I can't figure why I buy new Viper every year for 9 years straight. I did sneak in a Vette in 2000, and I loved it, but it had to go. The 00 steel gray and silver made the Vette look...

    Suspension R&D Project

    502.,(Bruce) sounds like you know a bit about suspension. I've not tried any other brand, and I may do that, but I do have a lot of time in this setup. I'm convinced we will get it right. These are the problems we have been having, Bottoming out, this can and usually does damage the shock...

    How to stop annoying wheel hop ?

    Dan has it right. This is one of the good benifits we can get from changing the ride on the car. I just had one of the best alignments I've ever had on the car last week. This took them three hours to do. This is very important. What Dan said about the suspension seems correct. Picture what...

    Suspension R&D Project

    I'm in Kingsport TN doing much work on the SRT. As many of you know there have been some issues with the suspension mods, that several of us have done on these cars. The SRT is so much better looking when lowered a bit, and another added bonus is we can change the ride characteristics. Needless...

    This is what you get when you add DLM+VOS+PAXTON+STOCK MOTOR= BIG HP

    Dmittry got me hooked on HP, I try to justifiy it by saying I need more products to market, and that's true, but I really want this power on a personal level. Truth is, all SRT's owners would really appreciate the added power. I really hope the S/C works out well, and I think it will. This is...

    What does the SRT sound like?

    A Metro milk truck, or UPS truck with a hole in the muffler. But that's only when putting around, taking off really normal. That all changes when you punch it. Things come alive in the motor then. Odd fire engines are all somewhat like this. The fact that it's a V-10 with a fairly deep stroke...

    What is the Nastiest exhaust set up?

    Kai, has a nice setup, very expensive. This is great, but if you want to not spend so much, you really can get by with a cheap system, that sounds great. I really have to say the X-over with a Bullet Performance muff. and removal of the sec. cats will sound unbelievable for the money, now you...

    How to stop annoying wheel hop ?

    That's one of those $64,000.00 questions. There are many factors to this. IRS is more prone to it than a conventional setup. Tire pressure, driving skills, tire style and temp. Suspension, control arm bushings to soft, track or road conditions, and a dozen or more other factors at least. Do...

    ?titanium exhaust?

    Yes the SRT has a 48/52 weight dist. The 52 is the rear. This must be with the driver in the car, as you sit very close to the rear axle. I really can't see how they managed that. I'll be very interested in the titanium exhaust, as long as the cost dosen't out weigh the benifits to much...

    If I Wanted to go into the engine.....

    Im going to one of the best engine builders in the country this week to have my Paxton s/c installed. I'll be doing the heads on the car also. I'll talk to them while I'm there, and get some prices on engine build-ups. I think your gonna be surprised at some of the prices we can come up with...

    I hate those rims, but I hate the oem ones on the GTS more, so it looks good now. Skip White

    Rocker panel covers

    Brushed aluminum, yey that doe's sound good. The body style on the SRT doe's seem to allow for this two tone scheme. I really never thought of brushed aluminum, but the sides are made of aluminum. There are plenty of places that could do this. I'm sure you would have to clear coat them, or they...

    ?titanium exhaust?

    I think titanium would be great, but you'r not going to save that much weight. The real culprits in the exhaust system are the sec. cats, and very heavy muffler, not to mention the X-over. If you go with straight out the side system, and do away with the sec. cats and go to bit lighter...

    Nitrogen Filled Tires!

    This is an exellent mod. Nitrogen, simply has no moisture in it. This has much to do with the air pressure gain you get from heat build up. When I'd go drag racing my tires would change 4-5 psi as they heated up. I have a smart tire system and you can watch them change. Weather is also a factor...

    street driven comp coup?

    Some good ideas on this post for doing this. Obtain a dealers lic. and run the master plate on the back. No registering required. It's really not to hard to get a license, and you can use it for tax exemption on your next few cars. New, never before registered cars are usually not exempt from...

    3.73 Gears - Myth, Fantasy & Reality

    3.73's bad choice. As Dmitry said, slicks only, and even then if you build the car up, you'll run out of gear to soon, or be out of the power band to quick. I'm really not to crazy about the 3.55, as I think a 3.33 is perfect. 3.73's may sprint good, but the car will be very short winded. You...

    What kind of gears do you guys have or reccomend?

    4.10 gears are a bit insane, unless you have cat like reflexes, perfect timing, master modulating the throttle, perfect nerves or you'll blow it on the line. As mentioned the 3.33 is perfect for all around use, but seems to be hard to find. The 3.45 the second choice. Much info about gears is...

    A Subwoofer in a SRT 10?

    Yes flat response is hard to achieve in a car. Bose has done very good in a couple of cars. Upgrading all the speakers would help, but most important is to choose speakers that operate best in the place they are in, and at what freq. that are being sent to them. We really need to have an...
