From messing around with them, my conclusion was for vibration / noise. As I tapped on them trying to find a reason for the sealer as well, I heard ALOT of ratteling. So that must be at least 1 reason why.
Some of you know I have been building a fuel system for my Paxton supercharger I'm installing on my 01' Creampuff motor in my 98' GTS. I was able to route everything so that I can use my fuel pressure regulator / gauge efficiently while tuning the car (ART will do the tune). I could have routed...
My 01' motor had some of the highest HP readings I have seen for the mods I had and it's mostly the common bolt on's, except for head work.
This got me 467HP and 508TQ - 11.3 1/4 mile @125MPH on Drag Radials:
SVS Headers, highest flowing headers made in my opinion. It's a "race only" header...
There's a guy in Austin renting out exotics and has a Viper in his collection. Well... "had" a Viper.... A woman wrecked it coming around a corner and "see - saw'd" it on the guard rail. I'll be at the ART Dyno day in Austin this Friday afternoon with my cute blonde girlfriend and I'll be...
No brand name or anything? I tell you what has worked wonders for me finding data, is do GOOGLE "IMAGE" searches for stuff like "Shift Light" and "shift light box"... you know, enter in keywords that may help images pop up that look like yours. It is alot of work sometimes, but I usually find...
One of the problems with finding Viper videos on Youtube, and the web on general is,... people don't name their videos to be "findable" by searches. KEYWORD YOUR VIDEOS PEOPLE!!!! Make sure you have the word "Viper" in the title if possible and the "more info" area as well.
Here's my Youtube...
I wonder how difficult it would be to find some "stretchable" vinal, fake leather and apply it over the dash? Heck I bet some Carbon Fiber would be easy enough too, with a little time envolved...
Like these pics of kit cars - Shelby Cobra Dash...
Some caps have plastic spacers if I recall... they will melt off when getting "chromed"... Most people buy a better looking cap or aftermarket... the "chroming" ideas have been discussed many times before.
Cut mine off with a hack saw the other day because the quick connect broke when removing the filter a little while back. Replacing my filter with this - http://aeromotiveinc.com/products-page/fuel-filters/12304-100-micron-orb-10-red-fuel-filter/
SCT probably won't give you much on a stock type setting. I think I gained about 10HP with mine. However, it is good to have for tuning when you start the more serious upgrades.
Added in Strut tower bar, with Aeromotive Fuel Pressure Regulator mounted so it's visible when looking in the engine bay to make it easier for tuning. Installed heater blower assembly, cleaned up heater hoses / heater valve and a few other water lines. Properly mounted brake booster vacuum line...
Thanks! About the brakes... yea, I think about that from time to time. It will probably be the next upgrade. But really, when I get going really fast, I make sure I have enough slow down road up ahead. So, weather more power or not, if one allows enough stopping room, then stock brakes should...
There was already an RTV type sealer on the valve cover baffles from the factory. I had to cut it all off to remove the baffle for the AN Fitting installation. I replaced it with high heat RTV. I honestly think the only reason the RTV is there is to stop vibration / ratteling on the baffle. They...
