Something just doesn't seem right to me either with the mods you listed . Not to take away from your nice dyno numbers or Sean's talent, but to say it was an easy bolt on is far from my expectations. If your engine has shaved heads and higher compression how can it not detonate to make over 700...
Dan,
Have you ever had the chance to race your car on the track in the cooler weather? I would be very curious to see what it would run on street tires.
I know my DLM car runs much stronger during the cooler months here in NC. You definitely have one of the fastest DLM 1 cars I know of...
Re: DLM Supercar Part 2/Photo\'s
Haha, take it from me: I have taken out many unsuspecting bikes. You'll have plenty of bikes that will want to race you. Now that you guys are making more horsepower than I do with an older level 3 I may just have to send my car back to Doug for another dose of...

I can't think of a way to cause an explosion on a dynojet dyno, since it's just a rotating metal drum. An eddy current dyno or mustang dyno which has to dissipate the power could conceivably break...

YOWZA!!!!! Excellent work and excellent tuner! I thought of having Doug paint mine black or silver. He once told me you don't see the block so the intake and valve covers are good enough. I can see why now! What color wires are you using with this setup? Are you going to chrome the intake...
Jim,
Welcome to the board. There are many tuners going into the turbocharging business on vipers. Honestly, I am a loyal DLM customer and always will be. DLM is completing a twin turbo system for viper owners to install themselves. I know it would be a top choice for viper owners with Doug's...
Tom, Do you have an inferiority complex? You post on an open forum and can't accept any other opinion? What's your problem? Yes, I am proud of who I am. I'm a member of the North Carolina Bar with enough intelligence [personal attack removed].

rdustman, I have a DLM Level III supercharger. From time to time I drive mine for weeks straight. The car is JUST as street able as it was almost from stock. That's one of the best things about the supercharger. Although I'm not sure if Doug is going to take on anymore cars for the next couple...

Think of how many different models of OEM vehicles are turbocharged instead of supercharged.

You must mean how many ricers with turbos?
Question is: How many...
I had a traction problem with my car for a short time. Doug Levin told me to try a new set of tires. I was hesitant because my old ones had plenty of tread left. Well, to my surprise the new tires HOOK DEAD! Go for new!

Doug is absolutely one of the most sincere guys I know. Always a big help. I've always referred friends to him (and their still my friends ). My gas mileage is not too bad as long as I don't get to greedy with the boost. We have long roads and highways and while just cruising it doesn't seem to...
Scott, can't wait to see it run at VOI. You've got to be a kid again! Why not tell us who's doing the work. They should be very proud of building onto a powerful car. Is there any patent issues that may apply to the old system or DLM parts they are working on? Otherwise, I can understand them...
