    DLM Level I Pics

    Joseph, Your SC car looks great. It looks like one of DLM's newer systems. Have you thought about going with a DLM intercooler? Chuck B.

    I need about 25 more RWHP. I can spend $1,000. Any suggestions?

    Maybe try a set of T&D roller rockers? You seem to have the exhaust for it. I would think it would help your engine breathe better too. Chuck

    Who sells the best priced supercharger for a Gen I?

    Frank described it best. Last time at DLM they were building a green Viper with a redesigned system that was really nice. I'd like to see what kind of dyno numbers this car makes for a Gen I viper that was once limited on horsepower. Chuck

    Creampuffs and Superchargers

    I know DLM builds cars for many dealers that are brand new with the cast pistons. You can use the stock cast pistons but I don't think you can run high amounts of boost with them. Chuck

    Final time, HELP!!! HMS VS DLM

    I haven't had any work done by HMS but I'm sure they have a very good product. My experiences with DLM have been outstanding and first rate. I would highly recommend you speaking with Doug if you haven't already? He would be gracious enough to answer all of your questions. Doug's car's are a...

    supercharger yea or nea???

    The best thing to do to a Viper is to SUPERCHARGE IT!!! You don't have to go to the extreme to get power as you would a normally aspirated car and you'll make more power. You can still take the car to formal functions without people looking at you as if your some kind of snotty teenager. The...

    Supercharge a Viper....But Why???

    Trey, DLM is one of the biggest Viper tuners in the Country. They build as many engines as Arrow but on a performance level. If your ever in Florida, you have got to stop by DLM. Mark my words: I have NEVER seen so many Vipers and engines under construction in my life! Until you own a DLM...

    To LPE or not to LPE??

    Jamie, I've had my DLM SC car for two and a half years. There's been virtually NO maintenance other than oil changes, keeping the belt tight and keeping the air filter clean. You don't have to raise the boost off the line, just the rpm's as you would a NA car. The supercharger makes plenty of...

    To LPE or not to LPE??

    With the reputation and performance LPE has to offer GO FOR IT! If NA is your goal than he would be the man. I would also explore your options for a DLM Supercharger. For the same price I've had two and a half years of 850 hp outstanding performance full time. Or for half the cost a 700+ SC hp...

    Question about 851RWHP Doug Levin Supercharged Viper ???

    Kevin thanks for the information. I can't imagine going from 700 rwhp, adding 20% more power with an intercooler &gt; That's 700 rwhp + 20% more intercooled power = 840 rwhp! OR -- 700 rwhp + 30% more (DLM Level 3) intercooled power = 860 rwhp!!! It makes great sense to me, just got to...

    Question about 851RWHP Doug Levin Supercharged Viper ???

    I'm looking forward to upgrading my DLM level III package too. Mine puts out 700 rwhp over 800 at the engine without nitrous. When we dyno'd the first time it was in the dead-heat summer, I had driven the car to the dyno and didn't give it much time to cool down. The owner of the dyno facility...

    The best looking supercharger I've ever seen.......

    Re: The best looking supercharger I\'ve ever seen....... Looks like a Roots type system. They make good low end power. Doug Levin Motorsports is designing a DIY supercharger system for both the Vipers and Vettes that should be available soon. That should be interesting. Chuck B.

    Flame suits on, here's my question

    Re: Flame suits on, here\'s my question I'm no expert but what would get traction in 20 degree weather? Would a 4wd even be helpful with the amount of torque and horsepower the Viper makes? If Dodge ever did make a 4x4 Viper I wonder if the drivetrain would hold up to the power anyway? I guess...

    Naturally Aspired VS Forced Introduction...........

    Boost! Any high performance package requires some type of maintenance sooner of later. I've had a blower car for more than two years. The only maintenance I've had to perform has been changing the oil and keeping the proper tension on my belt. My car has nitrous on it with the blower. It is...

    Finally to DLM

    FastFreddie, Way to go! I'm not sure about the Level 2 hp numbers. I think they make over 700 horsepower at the engine, I could be wrong. I have the older Level 3 and we've dyno'd at 689 rwhp. I know they go higher but we dyno'd in the summer heat after a long drive so I think I could make as...
