    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    I'll try to call you one of these days Tom. I do have a blanket (got it with your kit!) and the heat strip gets very hot but I can't seem to get the pressure over 900 psi. I have asked the guys that fill it (and tried a few different places) to go wild and squeeze as much as possible in, but...

    Anyone experiment with BTR Nitrous kit?

    I live in a cooler climate than a lot of you so I have a hard time getting my nitrous bottle pressure above 900 psi even with a bottle heater on cold days. It often sits at around 600 to 800. I'm wondering if rather than adding a second heat strip (to much draw on the battery) or having to...

    '94 oil pan bolts should be checked.

    \'94 oil pan bolts should be checked. I had to replace my battery today and while I was working on the car I decided to look under the engine. I noticed that one of my oil pan bolts was missing. I replaced it and then checked the others. Every last one of them was extremely loose. Some of...

    Autocross Tire Pressure?

    I'm not an expert, but I have found that 36 PSI works for me on autocross and 18 psi on drag radials for drag racing.

    BFG Drag Radial PSI

    I agree with fuel man, I had a terrible day hooking up with those drag radials until I dropped them to about 18 psi. The less pressure the better...until they come off the rims! Of course you need to be careful because it will feel like your swiming around on balloons.

    Kumho, Cats, and cruddy Dyno reflection.....

    Hey Ryan, so the Kumho Ecsta V700s are that good are they? Hmmm, I guess they're what I will go with next because I'm getting pretty tired of exactly what you describe...losing the first 100 feet of the race and having to catch them later!

    '98 GTS - New Owner, Weird Problem, Head Gasket or Not?

    Re: \'98 GTS - New Owner, Weird Problem, Head Gasket or Not? Rob, would you be able to give me any more details on the timing area leakage? I just got a call from a local club member who just got his 97/98 GTS and has exactly the same symptoms. I told him I would come over and do a leak down...

    Are my dyno #s too low?

    Couple comments: El Diablo, you mention you have stock 3.07s and Mike has 3.55s. 3.55s will dyno lower not higher in Torque or HP. You'll feel more seat of the pants punch but at least everyone I've talked to claims lower numbers after a switch to higher gears. This has been proven on worse...

    Canadian recall for intake valve

    You're just looking to plant the seed of an excuse for why your going to lose to me in the Autocross next month!! I can see it now... "I was lacking horsepower so I got spanked by a Gen I!" Just kidding, but I am going to be competitive this time...I think! I've studied last year's videos...

    Question about Gen I Valuation

    I was planning on replacing my head gaskets. I had a couple of the drip lines down the block about a year and a half ago. Before changing them I decided to have them tighten the head bolts as suggested by a number of VCA folks. That fixed the problem. Just a few weeks ago I thought I might...

    What is a good clutch and at what price for a Gen I?

    Thanks. That is a good price! Is it worth putting in a heavier duty clutch or is the original good?

    What is a good clutch and at what price for a Gen I?

    Mine stinks. That is, it is slipping and smelling hot.

    '94 Service Manual a collectible?

    Re: \'94 Service Manual a collectible? I just ordered one through the link on this site. $60 + $6 shipping. Not bad I guess since you get an original one (not a copy) and you pay $50 for a copy.

    '94 Service Manual a collectible?

    \'94 Service Manual a collectible? Have to a head gasket job and need a service manual for a 1994 RT. Looking on Ebay they are $50 when all the other years are anywhere from $10 to $30. What's up with '94, somebody out there hoggin' them all?!! Trying to make them a collectible? Anyone got...

    My headgaskets

    I am about to do the same thing with a buddy helping me. Which ever one of us gets to it first can give pointers to the other. I'm waiting for my gaskets. Keep in touch, we have the same cars and the same job coming up. By the way, does your car steam out of the collant tank cap when it gets...

    Coolant steam out of the tank cap

    Tom, the coolant looks pretty good. A nice green (mix of coolant and water) and not foamy. The oil looks pretty good too, although I've had a recent oil change. I'm still planning on changing the head gasket but now I'm wondering if that is the problem. Any other thoughts?

    Porting heads without doing anything else?

    This started with the fact that I have to replace my head gaskets on a GEN I (94). A friend of mine is going to help me and he suggested porting the heads while we have them out. So my question is/are, what HP gain can I expect with ported heads without changing valves, cams, rockers, etc...

    What mods to consider when doing a head gasket change?

    OK, it looks like a good friend of mine has convinced me to do the head gasket job together with him. I'm a bit nervous but I trust him. He suggested we could do the porting. He has done this before on many other cars. Any advice on porting would be helpful. What about the larger valves...

    What mods to consider when doing a head gasket change?

    I wasn't planning on spending a bunch of money on the car right now. What kind of coin am I looking at with the porting and valves and what kind of HP increase could I expect. Likewise with the cam and roller rockers?

    What mods to consider when doing a head gasket change?

    I have to replace my head gaskets on my '94 RT and am wondering what other reasonable mods I could make while I have it ripped apart. Best bang for the buck is what I'm looking for. Headers, cam?

    What should a new head gasket install cost?

    Thanks Don, I'm pretty sure I need the head gasket replaced. What is a little odd about mine is that a couple years ago I had the tell tale leak down the block marks. But then it stopped and although the leak marks are still there, they are long dried and old. Nearly two years later of...

    What should a new head gasket install cost?

    And what is, where do I get, the best gasket for a '94 RT? I've got boiling coolant and expecting the worst so I want to be prepared for what to shell out for the repair.

    Coolant steam out of the tank cap

    My rad cap is new, my overflow hose is clear...someone please tell me there is another possible problem besides head gasket. Is it possible to do a noticeable leak down test on a Viper because there is no Rad cap. Will it bubble out the plastic tank? OK, this is probably a sin to ask, but...

    Coolant steam out of the tank cap

    I've been smelling coolant when parking my 94 RT for a few weeks now. Yesterday I let it sit and idle until it got really warm. Expecting the worst I looked for gasket leaks, water pump leaks, etc. It turned out that the coolant smell was coming from steam coming out of the cap on the coolant...

    What can I say, I need help. (long post)

    I think the tick is normal, I haven't yet heard a tickless Gen I. As far as the oil leak goes, it sounds like it is bad enough that if you pressure washed the oil off the engine and just put it on a lift and ran it you could find where it is coming out of. Good luck.
