    How much would you pay for a Viper with botched 998 recall???

    It seems everyone wrongly blames the dealerships for incorrectly installing the front triangular frame braces. The real truth of the matter is that D.C. printed the early sets of instructions showing the braces being installed in the wrong location. The Viper tech at the dealership that does...

    What 1/4 mile times do a stock 94-95 rt run

    11.88 at 121.7, that's awesome. You're definitely building some HP with that kind of MPH. :shocked: That's Great for a Gen 1 with those basic mods. :cool: A good low 60 foot is what will really make for a low ET.

    What 1/4 mile times do a stock 94-95 rt run

    It took a little while to find where I'd put my timeslips. R/T ... .507 (sheer luck) ;) 60' ... 1.759 330 ... 5.117 1/8 ... 7.911 MPH ... 88.41 1000 ... 10.293 1/4 ... 12.306 MPH ... 111.96 So If you ran a 7.9 1/8th mile you probably about a 12.30 in the quarter roughly.

    What 1/4 mile times do a stock 94-95 rt run

    The best I got out of my 94 with K&N's, smooth tubes and mufflers was a 12.30 @ 112mph with a 1.75 sixty foot time. That was on Mxx3's set at 22psi (rears) launching at about 1600 rpm (soft launch), then get into it. The track was sticky aince the Craftsman Nationals were just a few days...

    BTR Performance 9 Second Viper Dyno Sheet.........FEEL THE TORQUE!

    Totally Awesome! :eek: On the street or the track torque is what makes you win the race. It's what really drives the car forward. :cool: But now I think I feel inadequate with only 749 ft. lbs of torque at the rear wheels. ;)

    My 1st Time to Gateway Drag Strip: Results

    I agree with the lower launch rpm, 1,500 is what I've done with street tires. Set the tire pressure at 22 psi. What RPM are you shifting at? I ran 12.30 @ 112 mph at Gateway with Mxx3's with the 94 I had with a 1.75 sixty foot time, but the track was sticky (the friday after the Craftsman...

    DC Strikes Again! GEN1 Head Gaskets

    It's one more way for the top exec's at D.C. to make their bonuses higher. I mean come on now, they had to settle on splitting $56 million between the top 13 executives this year for their bonuses. :eek: How can they be expected to be happy with those paltry amounts. :rolleyes:

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    I added a bottle heater to my propane bottle too. Prior to that I had problems keeping the propane bottle anywhere near 160 psi. Now it stays right on it. The Nitrous bottle gets to at least 900 psi (I'm hoping it will warn up a little more in the summer months). Is the bottle heater and...

    How Can I Get The Fan To Kick On Earlier?

    No one probably noticed that his Viper is a 92 :rolleyes: , so it doesn't have A/C unless he added it on. The Sean Roe kit is probably the best solution.

    Dodge Viper Slammed by Gen-Y & DC Engineer!

    You always have to read who's making the statements. Ford engineers and designers let their own children critique the GT Thursday as part of national Take Your Kids To Work Day. Do you really think the children of Ford's employee's are going to knock a product made and designed by their...

    Need some help. Any suggestions?

    What usually works, providing that you're problem is that it won't break loose at all and you're rounding the outside of the lug nut. Put all the lug nuts back on. Start with the problem one, Take a 6 point deep well impact socket (19mm or 3/4 inch is correct) Put it on the lug nut...

    HOW DO YOU POST PICS?

    Okay, lets see if I can explain how to do it (I'm used to just simply doing it). Your pics have to be stored online, which you have done in the media section. You click on the pic link bringing up the pic. With the cursor on the pic you "right click the mouse", then left click on "properties"...

    WTB: tonneau cover, soft bags, and shift coupler for '94

    Re: WTB: tonneau cover, soft bags, and shift coupler for \'94 I've got a couple of the stock shifter isolators, so I could spare one. Another option would be to replace it with a solid steel one which I sell for $25 ea. including shipping. Email me at [email protected] and I'll fix you up either...

    Gear shift problem, please help.

    If the shaft is loose at the base of the shifter and it keeps loosening up, try applying some Loctite on the threads. A Crowsfoot is the best tool to tighten it, but an open end wrench will work. It's a 19mm or 3/4 inch size. If it's the shifter knob coming loose from the shaft, are you holding...

    Gear shift problem, please help.

    Is the shifter knob unscrewing or is it the shifter shaft (isolator) unscrewing from the shifter base?

    Pics of my new Silver Stripes....

    King Dodge here in St. Louis painted them for me. I got what I felt was a pretty good deal, it cost $1,500 for the stripes. Usually it cost a little over $2K, but the Service manager is a friend of mine (that helps). :cool:

    Help Dealer says he has to pull engine and send it out for head gasket job

    If they're sending it to Arrow, go for it! Arrow did a rebuild on the 94 I had prior to my current GTS. It felt stronger, sounded better, and the best part "No More Coolant Leaks"! From what I've been told, the Gen 1 Arrow rebuilds average 425-430 horsepower.

    How do I pull out the passenger seat on my '94?

    Re: How do I pull out the passenger seat on my \'94? You can pull the lower seat cushion out and get access to the bolts. On the leading edge of the seats on the underside there is a wire that hooks the cushion to the seat frame. Pry it down and back to unhook it. Once you do that...
