    Thinking of adding Nos & have questions

    Not sure if the cast piston question was for me but yes they are stock pistons. As for the 3:45 gears i installed them to make sixth gear more usable and to keep in more of the power curve throughout all the gears. At any given speed my rpm's are about 4-500 higher which is exactly where i want...

    Big problem, need some help

    well i never met the guy who put my 2002 "fe" together but he must have thought the nuts that held the front and rear nuts that held the sway bars on were an option he did not see marked on his work order !

    Dyno Run - Low #s For Current Mods

    I called the company that sells the headers you have , which ive seen it posted that these alone can ad 40hp , anyway he said because of the collector type on them that in California it would run too lean on a stock car . I have a s/c and can adjust the fuel and timing and am waiting for the...

You realize that you have to adapt to all kinds of personalities and that we are all different . The...

In the section under "tech" - the skinny about spark plugs- it says platinum tip plugs have to...

    "supercharger boost question"

    Re: \"supercharger boost question\" I thought also maybe because of the intercooler but it still has higher pressure even though it may be a little lower air temperature . And i think this higher pressure is what may be a problem since the new pistons have less distance from the top to the...

    \"supercharger boost question\" I have a 2002 GTS with a Roe supercharger with 5# boost , how is it that Paxton is offering their supercharger with 7.5 lb of boost for 2000 and newer vipers when i thought 5 was consider a safe limit due to the newer pistons. Have not called Paxton myself but...

    Boost tuner question...........

    Check out a web called "design engineering "they have a system where a co2 bottle can cool the fuel, air intake and more . i thought if there was a way to direct the cooler temp from the low side of the a/c lines , say near the dryer by extending the tubing lines and use this to cool the fuel...

    ABOUT TO SCREAM!!!

    get yourself an OBD 11 reader at sears o from Roe racing , it tells you what the code is and resets it . alot easier than messing with the battery. Chrysler should have included one with every Viper.

Guess what i...
