    Brake Rotor Question

    Kai, good point. Tracking the car doe's require a heavy large rotor, or an expensive lighter rotor, but the lighten up the disc, and not have fade or warpage, big money has to be spent.

    Brake Rotor Question

    Oh, Janni, forgot your question. You said 10lbs savings on a Brembo, I asume you ment 10lbs each, and they must be much lighter in the disc section, because Stop Tech, is only about 7lbs lighter if memory serves me. If you ment the complete set of rotors only saved 10lbs, and they are really...

    Brake Rotor Question

    Janni, the hat section is not a huge savings compared to the over all weight of the rotor. The diameter of the hat is no more than 6 or so inches, but in a way it's a good savings, but I can tell you this much, 1 pound off the rotor beond the hat section, throughout the 14 inch disc, would be...

    Brake Rotor Question

    Janni, 10lbs is certainly a huge amount. Stop Tech is much less than that. This means they are lighter in the outermost region, as you can only lighten the hat section a small amount. They must be thinner inner walls. The diameter of the SRT rotor is a killer. It's diameter has to produce a huge...

    Wow ... big change on my K&N

    Wasn't this a problem on the earlier version K&N kit? Not at all on the new ones in the last 6 months.

    Drill holes under sidesill?

    What Ron says may be so, but may I say, as one who has cut open thousands of cat. converters to claim the precious platinum coated substrate from them, many of the GMs had an insulation materiel between the honeycomb, and outer wall of the cat. Later model GM cats did not have this, but it was...

    Brake Rotor Question

    Nate, give me a call. I have a few suggestions on the rotors. 423-288-3881 The rotors on the SRT are huge, and heavy. They gotta go.

    Underdrive Crank Pulley Results.

    The HP gain is certainly not what some people think. When we lighten and reduce the diameter on the crank pulley, we have multiplied the benifits, and not to forget all the other pulleys are turning slower. So we have a triple benifit, as well as shorter and lighter belt. They all add up. The...

    Antifreeze smell but no leak

    If you smell that characteristic odor of antifreeze, you have at least some seepage going on.

    Vipermann, I'll get that info for you later on today.

    Underdrive Crank Pulley Results.

    Underdriving the alt and PS is not really that advantagous. Those pulleys would have to have a larger diameter, and this violates the laws of rotational mass efficaincy. Just do what you are going to do, by way of the cank pulley. The only advantage to slowing down the recieving pulley, is if...

    Underdrive Crank Pulley Results.

    John, your are absolutly correct in the many bennifts of the lightweight smaller crank pulley. I'll be getting on of these myself. Kinda wish it were a bit smaller, but it's still a great mod. The factory sets these cars up for the worst case senario, such as extended idling, with the A/C...

    Drill holes under sidesill?

    I second the recommedation above. Cats may produce much to high a temp for wrap. I would think they do???? We used a stick on heat barrier on a customers car, and found it to the neatest product on the market. It conforms so nicely, to curves and angles. I think it would be great to put in the...

    Intake Question

    That rain duct is a trick to get out. You relly have to use a thin shaft screwdriver. Carfull not to strip the screws. I provides a better flow, but most of the air comes from the lower front opening.

    Intake Question

    Rain is also not an issue with the K&N or Green filters, as they are not harmed by water, where as a pleated paper filter draws up and is ruined when wet. I really don't think much water cound get in there, and it doe's have a somewhat drainage design built into it. We all say we don't...

    The first scratch is the deepest....

    Last month, first time in seven Vipers, lost concentration, and turned into a somewhat to steep drivway, not enough angle in the turn, and srapped the bottom. Never did this before. Knew it was going to happen at the last moment. Ruined my day. I was on the way to visit my 88 year old...

    Brake Failure -- near catastrophe

    Ok, at least it's still a Viper, and I admit I do have a thing for curves, but that SRT just gets me every time I look at it. but your correction about innovation, hmm, I thought it did in fact mean, and improvement over a previous design. Back to the brake failure. We all need to check our...

    Brake Failure -- near catastrophe

    Devil Dog, I can understand you liking the GTS with it's bulbous curves,(Mae West), and it's nostalgic,(outdated) look, not to mention it's well recognized,(common) appearance. So unlike the SRT as it's oppisite to the above in every way. And we havent even started on the performance side yet...

    Brake Failure -- near catastrophe

    Oh, sorry, I do love the car. Why else would a guy put up with all this, and can't wait to buy another one. SRT's are great, and all Viper's for that matter

    Engine cleaning

    Never wash engine when hot, warm is ok. Never use soap unless engine is very cool, and rinsing well is a must. Never spray engine gunk cleaner on these engines. Much to harsh. Never spray directly into alternator. Never hold wand to close to painted surface on engine. Never hold...

    How others see the Viper...(pic)

    I wish I had a dollar for everytime someone asked me," how fast ya had it up to" I usually tell them the truth, and they then ask how fast will it go. They are very shocked that I haven't took it to the limits, as they have no idea how long that would take, and no idea how little G force there...

    Brake Failure -- near catastrophe

    We must remember the Viper is a very low production car. Human error is inevitable, but that is a pretty big error. Just like the harmonic balancer that wiped out many engines. We all really need to check this out on our cars. It was a post like this that saved my engine, on the balancer...

    HOT..................HOT.......................AIR

    Dan it's a Steawart assist water pump. It goes in line to the main radiator hose. Very well made, and very effective as I've seen. Makes a lot of sense how it works. I'll get my catalog and get some more info on it. I'd like to get in touch with Tommy Fudge, as he has this unit on his super...
