    VOI DRAGS UPDATE!!

    Sounded like a great time! Some really FAST cars showed up and upped the ante for Viper performance. Too bad for the rain... Wish we could have participated in it with our LETHAL 750 Viper. Unfortunately, we had too many R&D projects going on at one time, and my engine is still not assembled...

    Any LPE Vipers on this board??

    Lingenfelter builds very strong packages for the Viper, and John Lingenfelter is a great person. Sounds like George's LPE 540 Viper is an shining example of that. I am not sure how much power and torque the car is making, but LPE does post dyno sheets for the package on their website. Bill and...

    SO How does the new Mods to the SRT LOOK!!!!!!

    Don't want to get anyone upset....but there was an interesting article about the NEW SRT in the Nor Cal Viper newsletter. Dodge had one in town for marketing purposes and a few local Viper owners heard about it and met up with them. I don't remember everything in the article because it was long...

    DLM Level IV + Pix (no red herrings!)

    Ben- Wonderful stuff! Great numbers! After speaking with you over the last year about its progress, I know you are one VERY HAPPY MAN NOW!!!!...looks like the numbers surpassed your expectations. You certainly upped the ante for Viper performance. Are the dyno numbers you posted with the car...

    Dealer wants to replace entire engine!!!

    Ocarguy.... Something doesn't quite add up based upon what you are saying. Are you suer this car has no mods to the engine? That code is very prevalent with a particular engine mod. Also, with such a high % leakdown, did they give an indication whether is was coming from the bottom or top end...

    T&D shaft rocker arms

    Sean- Thanks for your confirmation... We have experimented with MANY camshafts and different part combinations. The heads will dictate the camshaft profile, as well as other concerns such as smog, etc... In addition, the camshaft may likely need custom computer tuning in order to optomize A/F...

    T&D shaft rocker arms

    Sean- Was this on your 96-97 with the more aggressive camshaft? Depending on the year, your Viper may see different gains due to camshaft changes... Also keep in mind that different year Vipers come with slightly different computer programs that change A/F ratio which, in turn, effects power.

    Dealer wants to replace entire engine!!!

    Does your engine have any mods that you know of (since you said it is used)? If it does, your warranty may be denied, and then the expense comes out of your pocket.... The code you mention can trigger in years 2000-02 Vipers with particular mods.... -Wayne

    Upgrading an SRT-10 and beating a very fast Ultima

    One more thing...about your challenge....see if you can find out which engine option he is going with. If $$$ is no object, maybe he'll decide on using a Z-06 engine with something like the LPE 800TT package. 800hp in a 2200lb car is going to take some serious mods to beat!

    Upgrading an SRT-10 and beating a very fast Ultima

    I have seen both the Ultimas and Moslers.... There are 2 Moslers. They brought the all out race version to the Car and Driver Supercar challenge. I think the C&D staff had their money on that car winning it all. I don't think it performed as well as everyone expected. We lost to it by .3 sec...

    What gives: Hennessey 800 vs. stock ACR same 1/4 mile times?

    Sounds like all of you missed the board discussion on this topic last week and the week before. Do a search in this area for 'car and driver' and my username: LTHL VPR . There is ample discussion and explanations that will bring clarity to your questions. -Wayne

    upgrades with SC

    I badgts- Good points. I totally agree with you...When you get into forced induction, your margin of error becomes zero. No such thing as slapping a system together. However, building a bulletproof bottom end and internals combination is a great foundation. There are a number of other concerns...

    upgrades with SC

    I was not necessarily referring to supercharged Vipers; I have heard of Vipers with nitrous, forced induction running high compression, use of water injection with forced induction, etc.. all requiring race gas to make peak performance. This was not intended as a flame or anything, I think it's...

    upgrades with SC

    We have thought about doing a LETHAL 750 S package. That would be a LETHAL 750 (750hp/800tq) with a supercharger. Given that the package made 650rwhp/717rwtq (600rwtq at a LOW 2500 rpms) in naturally aspirated form; with a modest and safe 5 pounds of boost you could expect to make some SERIOUS...

    Hot Summer Nights

    Sorry I missed it....Sounds like it was even better than last year. I was dying to go...unfortunately duty calls. I figured it wouldn't be much fun to show up with my Viper minus the engine!(We are doing more R&D on the LETHAL 750 PLUS upgrades we hope to have available soon.) Glad to hear it...

    Am I the only person that think the "supercar Challenge" was a joke?

    Re: Am I the only person that think the \"supercar Challenge\" was a joke? Marc- You are correct. This was a post I made in July 2001; just a couple months before I joined APEX in late August/Sept. 2001. Bill started APEX several years prior and has had some of the same mechanics since the...

    Has anyone raced a 360? Results?

    They are pretty fast... I never got to challenge one in naturally aspirated form. However, I had the pleasure of making one feel slow right after we finalized our LETHAL 750 package. I was in 3rd at around 65 mph, he hit it, I gave him a courtesy car length lead, and then I hit it. Next thing I...

    Am I the only person that think the "supercar Challenge" was a joke?

    Re: Am I the only person that think the \"supercar Challenge\" was a joke? You bring up some great points and questions. I thought we had covered most of these good questions last week. For the sake of the questions, I will use the data from our car for the comparison. For those of you who...

    Got in Little Race with new Lotus V8 TT (surprised)

    I had a 1999 Lotus V8TT for a few days (shortest purchase period I have ever had). Although they were great; loved the removable top, dual gas doors (park in the middle and fill from both sides simultaneously=lots of looks), very light and nimble=go kart-like feel/darty/twisties king; I gave it...
