    Burnout/Donut Technique

    Follow onerareviper's instructions. Pay attention to his point about not mashing the gas, you'll definitely hit the rev limiter and then your face will hit the windshield! Hitting the rev limiter is not only hard on the car but when the massive torque turns into massive braking it isn't fun...

    Looking for advice: gen 1 or gen 2 and why. TIA

    I live on Vancouver Island and it also has great roads (curves, mountains, ocean side, etc.) for a Viper. I have a 94 RT/10. I drive it year round and other than having a little too much thrust for the rainy season, it is fine. I have the stock zip up windows and softtop and do not have any...

    Got a challenge to race an airplane today!

    If you don't take this challenge, tell him I will! I can't see a prop plane being able to cut enough air to pull him up to speed fast enough. In a quarter mile you should destroy him. Over a half mile he might be dangerous because once he is airborne he might start to gain on you fast. But...

    Possibly Buying a '94 - need help

    Re: Possibly Buying a \'94 - need help Got my 94 at 6000 miles a couple years ago. Head gaskets shouldn't have gone yet but may start soon. Were the 8000 miles put on early and then the car stored or was it a little every year. If it was spread over time you shouldn't have any problems with...

    Getting more out of your Nitrous Kit.

    The dyno I have access to is a Mustang dyno and in order to compare to a Dynojet you have to use it's measured torque (a number you specifically have to ask for) and calculate if from there. I haven't actually dyno'd after using the heater properly but I had 690 ft lbs with Nitrous and around...

    Good radar questions

    Go find a wrecker that had an old Stealth bomber, peel off the nose cone and apply it to your grill. That should help. PS, my Valentine picks up other people's cheap detectors. That is if I pass a guy that has an old detector my detector often goes off. The old/cheap ones must be very leaky...

    Vernon BC Viper Autocross big success! - video

    I just wanted to say thanks to Craig and Gail Sandford for planning another very successful Viper autocross weekend. We had approximately 16 Vipers with 20 different drivers, and a record six women drivers! There are too many things to talk about to describe the weekend. So if you are...

    Getting more out of your Nitrous Kit.

    I guess I have no limits when it comes to adding horsepower! But gees Tom, did you have to tell everyone!

    Getting more out of your Nitrous Kit.

    You've got my curiosity piqued Tom, I'm always ready for another 100 HP. What are you thinking?

    Getting more out of your Nitrous Kit.

    I few weeks ago I decided that it was time to figure out why I was underwhelmed with my Nitrous system (the BTR package with propane assist). Tom at BTR was very helpful when I asked questions but I guess I never had anyone to compare to so I could see if what I thought was underperformance...

    Speeding Tickets

    I've had a few speeding tickets but my funniest, um, luckiest happened one nice afternoon last summer. I was just puttin' around for a few hours enjoying the day. As you guys have all experienced, every Honda with a fart can owner and his dog wants to race, but I decided I wasn't going to give...

    Made me laugh....

    Yeah but did you fire off your parachute before leaving the line?

    Vote for the Viper!!!!!

    Unfortunately since the Vette and Mustang guys stuffed the box, it will mean that Motor Trend (like all mags) will continie to cater to those cars. It's a business I guess so I'd do the same thing. The shoot outs will be the same old crap for the next few years. I think we can all sum up the...

    3.55 gears and HF Cat comments

    I think (because I haven't really had a chance to compare) that since I got the 3.55 in my car that my ET in the 1/4 mile is just slightly better. Very slightly. I think I lose a little at the end of the run but I get a better launch because like someone said earlier, it is easier to control...

    buck & surge

    Don't know for sure if Gen II's had problem too. But yes, drivers side should move first, just very slightly. It's the side that tells the computer what to do.

    buck & surge

    In order of what helps (from one that had it bad and has smooth driving now): 1. Throttle sync, make sure left side pulls first is key. 2. New plug wires. 3. New plugs.

    New SRT is not any better than GEN II cars but for brakes and Power

    Hey, why all this comparison between the SRT and the Gen II, I think the Gen I takes both of them! Just kidding...but why the heck are we arguing about whether a Gen II with mods can keep up with a SRT, a Subaru with mods can keep up with a SRT. Shouldn't we just be happy that the Viper legacy...

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    Thanks Tom, I think the thermostat on my kit must be too sensitive though. I had it as you suggest (on top as far away from heat strip as possible and heat strips on bottom). I even tried putting it at the bottom of the bottle with the heat strip further up (cold sinks, heat rises theory) but...

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    WOW!!!! OK, first of all, thanks to everyone for their suggestions. What a ride I just had. I finally figured out the problem which I guess should have been obvious from the symptoms, but I guess I'm not that sharp! I put a battery charger on and just let the heater go for 20 minutes or so...

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    Thanks for the ideas Ed. It is possible that my gauge is just not working. It is an air filled gauge (not liquid) and I have flicked my finger at it or tapped it to see if it was sticking but that didn't change it. The kit I have has a themostat shut off, so the bottle has to get warm enough...

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    1000 PSI?!! Wow, I can only dream of that kind of pressure. Is the NX bottle heater that different? Isn't it just a flat strip heater that gets much too hot to hold just like the NOS one? I was wondering if I went to a smaller bottle if I could get the pressure up higher.

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    I'm surprised that the propane pressure is important for horsepower but I'll try heating that and see what happens. My Nitrous bottle heater works well, makes contact well, is positioned correctly and I have the blanket so with the warmer summer temps I'm expecting to keep it above 900 psi...

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    You added a heater to your propane? I seem to do better in seat of the pants feel when I turn my propane off. I've only done that a couple times for testing because I don't want to run lean. But I was starting to think that the propane was affecting the amount of Nitrous that came out. That...

    Wow, do new fron tires make a difference!

    They'll wear fine, last a long time. The G-force are great street tires and stick well once they are heated up. Because of their higher tread wear though they take a little more to heat up and get grip.
