    The good thing about Vipers in the winter!

    Mine is up on jackstands, spent 4 hours lying on my back yesterday cleaning the frame, suspension, etc, loved every minute of it. I plan on spending many more hours in the next few weeks under the car, then its time to start working on the engine bay.

    Building a Bigger & Better Roe Supercharger system

    The hood would be the biggest issue I would think. If you didn't mind a 4" cowl, I think you could get a larger unit, maybe 3.3?, under the hood with great results. I would love to see a GTS with an old 671 sticking through the hood!!

    Gen1 straight pipe question

    Eric, My old Roe car was close, had straight through mufflers, no cats. It was loud, even more so with headers. Can you say earplugs, what???????

    Headers on Creampuff

    I am guessing that the exhaust had as much or more to do with the gains as the headers themselves. Dom426, is your car a creampuff or forged?

    Headers on Creampuff

    Thanks Mike, kind of what I thought. I can save my money and spend on cam and heads! I cannot stand how smooth it idles.

    Headers on Creampuff

    Is there any real HP gain in switching from the factory headers on my 01 GTS to aftermarket? I realized a good gain on my old S/C Gen 1, but the 01 factory headers look to be less restrictive than the Gen 1 that I had. The car already has no cats, bellanger 3" exhaust with T&D's. I am...

    Question on new exhaust installation

    I drove mine about 25 miles with no sills and open headers, no issues at all. The sound was incredible(Roe blower, heads, large cam), sounded like a prostock car.

    Rebuild?..again?..help!!!

    Mike, If I were in your shoes, I just might hop in my car and drive up to Arrow, have a face to face meeting and see if they offer to help in any way. Its much harder to blow off a customer if you are looking them in the eye. Its probably about a 7 hour drive, but might be worth a road trip.

    Sorry to hear of all of your trouble with the car Mike, I know its been a long, frustrating road for you. I had heard the guys at Arrow were pretty stand up, have they offered to help at all?

    708 Cam in Creampuff

    Looking for a winter project, thinking of throwing a 708 in my 2001 GTS. Do not want to spend the money to do heads right now, and I know I am probably not going to pick up much, if any, HP by making the change, but I cannot stand the smooth idle that I have now. Question is, can I use the...

    Rob, We were thinking of heading to Tilted Kilt in Naperville(or near naperville) in a few weeks. I am going to put up a post and give everyone a few weeks notice and hopefully we can get 6-8 or more of us for a get together. I am driving the GTS until the roads see salt. marty
