    Washing the Snake

    Ditto the claybar/Zaino recommendations. Claybar is also great for removing embedded brake particles from your rims. Just don't reuse that piece of claybar on anything else. Also Dixter's comments about microfiber are right on. I had heard horror stories about using microfiber. However...

    Drag race the RT with or without hard top?

    VOI will be the first time I take the RT to a drag strip. Will track regulations force me to run with my hard top on? If I'm not forced to run w/the hard top, would it be better anyway? The hard top and windows add probably 40 - 50 lbs, but I'm sure provide better aerodynamics. Seeing as how...

    Viper goes down.. Taken from the F-Body forum

    Ahhh... but the catch is the Viper driver stayed in 3rd the first two times, even when they ran from 40 mph. With poor driving like that, I'm not suprised by the outcome. Plus the TA was running a 4000 stall, which should keep him in his narrow powerband for those runs. Still a good run, but...

    system ordered

    For no cats as opposed to high-flow cats: sound = louder power = ~5HP over good high-flows smell = stinky

    Roe supercharger

    I don't believe Sean will be making a Gen1 blower. He was trying, but the last I heard was that it just wouldn't fit properly. I think it was because of the alternator placement. Too bad, cuz I would have bought 3 or 4 at that price

    questions regarding viper hoods...

    Costs for a front fascia are different between Gen1 and Gen2 from the Dodge catalog I saw. It listed new Gen1 fascias around $850, and the Gen2 was over $2000. Except for the missing foglight covers on the creampuff years, can anyone tell me what the difference between them is?

    check engine light problem , need help

    Like Ray said, how old is your battery? Have you changed your plug wires yet? If they're still the original wires, throw them away and RUN from the trash can. Get some new high-temp wires from JonB. How about re-synchronizing the throttle body cables? Easy, free, 5-minute job and worth a...

    I believe that guarantee also requires you to be "cat-less".

    cat removal

    Your stock cats are very restrictive. You'll get some additional power by replacing them with straight tubes. However, it will be louder and you may get that nasty smell. I've got belanger headers and cat-back, along with Sean Roe's high-flow cats. It's quite loud, and would probably be too...

    CAN YOU CHROME WHEELS ON 94 RT10?

    My rims are chromed, and I haven't seen or heard of any problems. Just make sure you get them done by a good shop, otherwise the chrome will start peeling off within a year or so.

    question about the 1994 clutch

    I was having the same problem when I first got my 94. The problem was me. I was positive I was pushing the clutch in all the way, but I really wasn't. If my clutch isn't firmly pushed all the way down, it doesn't start. I'd tell the guy to try moving his seat forward one or two notches. He...

    insurance prices??

    94 RT/10, $900 per year full coverage with no mileage restrictions. Single 29 year old with clean record. Like Gerald, my main driver is a p.o.s. Check Progressive Insurance. I got the best quote from them.

    Aluminum Flywheel Questions

    Hey Roland! Like those above, I don't have any 1/4 mile times to show. But I had an Archer Racing aluminum flywheel and heavy-duty clutch installed in August. The car definitely spools faster and seems to break the tires loose a little easier than stock. Rev matching can be a little tougher...

    What have you had to sacrifice?

    I've sacrificed sleep, sleep, and more sleep. Why? 1) Because I worked extra hours to save for the car. 2) Now that I have it, I stay awake at night thinking about driving it everywhere! Why would sacrifice be considered bad to some? It all depends on what you choose to sacrifice. By all...

    ADJUSTING THE IDLE?????

    I have this same problem, but it is not as pronounced as yours (doesn't happen every time I disengage the clutch). I've had the car at the dealer several times, and they could not pinpoint the problem. According to the computer they hooked up, my car idles properly. I've tried the following...

    How do you convert RWHP ?

    BlackSnake is correct. You do not multiply RWHP by 1.15, but divide it by .85 instead.
