    708 Cam Install Question

    Chuck said the lifters "fit" 92-99. So the question is; will they also fit 00-01-02? And if not, what is recommended. Did I miss something also?

    708 Cam Install Question

    Thank you very much Chuck for the confident answer. I've asked knowledgable people who were not sure of the answer. Should I use stock lifters from a pre-00 or aftermarket. And what do you think the lifters would cost? Thanks again.

    708 Cam Install Question

    Anyone install a 708 cam on a 00, 01, or 02 and retained the "stock" lifters? Any issues or comments? Would the idle be not as rough with the stock lifters? I'd like to get the idle sound of my 97 in my 02 without changing the lifters. Thanks.

    Tire Size Question - 275/35x19 Pilots on Front

    Anyone have experience or information on using a 275/35x19 Pilot Sport on the front of an Eibach lowered GenII? The diameter is 26.5" versus the stock 25.7", and the car is lowered. I was told there is a possibility for interference. Thanks.

    Alarm System Slow When Car is Hot

    When my 02 RT is hot, the alarm is difficult to activate and the horn sounds weak. I have to get very close to the car to activate and may need several attempts. Likewise to disarm. When the car is cold, the arming is stronger and can be activated thru walls etc., and the horn is much stronger...

    Finally settled my insurance claim with Hagerty.

    I'm missing something.........when they gave you the $48K, didn't they then own the car? How is it that you were able to get paid for the car, and then keep it to sell?

    lumpy cam...

    I was told that in addition to the cam change for 2000, the lifters were also changed to a type that would reduce the lumpy idle. should you also change the lifters?

    97 GTS Vs. 02 RT/10

    Jon: There is definitely a difference that I can feel. I drove the 97 for five full years. The 97 was definitely more abrupt in acceleration than the 02. I don't know why some people thought I changed gears......I never said I did. Both cars have the 3.07s. I agree with you.....not having the...

    97 GTS Vs. 02 RT/10

    I would like to have some opinions on the following: 1) I had a 97 GTS with just a 3" catback and no cats. 2) I now have an 02 RT with high flow cats and stock exhaust system. Not much difference between the two.......the 97 had more cam duration overlap, but basically the two engines should...

    Snake in my Garage, Finally

    Hey Bob..........congratulations on the car. I have a 02 yellow RT, lowered. Yesterday, a couple passed me in a BMW convertible on I-75, and they both turned around to look for such an extended period of time, that the driver drifted into my lane just in front of me without even realizing what...

    97 GTS Intake gaskets

    On my 97, you could see a wavy pattern in the gasket between ports. When replaced, the gasket was straight. Also, the fan went on my 97, and was replaced by the new design. The AC had continuous problems starting at around 40K miles. Also, the 02 sensors acted up early. None of that mattered...

    The Best-Handling Car...

    Mario has always been biased.........but who cares about his subjective rating??? The test was about best handling.....and the Viper won ALL categories. Best handling means just that...best handling!! Subjective ratings are not actual performance ratings. Subjective ratings aside, if you ask...

    Thoughts after the first week....

    Hey Chuck...... you have me beat on mileage, but I'm up there. Say..did you ever fix the side of your viper? I remember at Homestead a while back, when you showed up for the Ferrari thing. Your Viper looked like it had just been through world war three...and you needed a power steering line in...

    Air Conditioner Leak Again! Ideas?

    Ron: I sympathize with you. Because my 97GTS had continuous AC problems. I had the extended warranty, but it was still a pain dealing with it. They replaced lines, seals, condensors, and god knows what else. It was repaired many times but always went warm. I don't know if it was a problem...

    Re: Optima won\'t fit my car but I found one that does.... Paul: I checked with Autozone.....the duralast Gold battery is NOT a sealed battery. It is just like the Mopars, the caps come off and the fluid can potentially leak??!!! I want a battery that won't leak.....I don't trust the Mopars...

    Eibach Spring Problems?

    Today I took my Cobra to Steeda in Pompano Beach to check the front wheel alignment. They aligned my car after I lowered it with the Eibach Pro kit about one year ago. Last week, I noticed that the passenger front tire was wearing poorly on the inside. The conclusion was that the springs...
