    Crower roller rockers

    That's too bad... I have 22000 trouble free miles on my 98 GTS with Crowers. Might check K. Verges write-up over in the "How To" section... On the whole, I can't say I'd do this particular mod again, bang-for-the-buck-wise, but in at least my case, no operational problems what-so-ever.

    Clutchless transmission?

    I've been watching FIA GT racing on Speedvision lately and it seems all the Vipers use this type of setup.

    Roller-Rocker Question /Oil Pan Question

    Hello Daniel, To the best of my knowledge, there are only two oil pans that fit Gen II Vipers, the 96 (or 97 for RT's) - 99 pan and the 2000+ pan. The 2000+ pan has slightly more capacity and the bosses cast in the 2000+ pan we all (me, JonB, Dodge and all others) use for our baffles are a bit...

    Roller-Rocker Question /Oil Pan Question

    Hoosier's right, the pan and windage tray you already have are a great start. JonB's baffles will do the trick and there's some element of simplicty in one-stop-shopping. There's also a bit more work that can be done on the pan itself and what I call the oil pan top plate (there is a flat...

    VIPER CALENDAR (whew!)

    Thanks for taking this project on again, Chris. I hope you know how much we all appreciate this. I've looked through the photos on your link. While there are many great additions, a couple of the pictures I selected from last year that are, unfortunately, of poor resolution (for a calendar)...

    VIPER CALENDAR PROJECT ON!

    Just like last year Chris, great effort and thank you very much. Is there anyway for us to determine the resolution of the pictures available? I have to confess I was a bit disappointed last year when some of the shots I chose weren't so spectacular on paper due to their original resolution.

    VOI.8 .... YES!

    While I'd be all in favor of VOI here in Colorado, there are performance compromises to consider... The hp loss at ~6000 ft above sea level due simply to the less dense air is BIG, approximately 3 percent per 1000 ft in elevation. That translates to ~75 hp... I know how much I enjoy the...

    Supercharger System Update, Programmable Fuel / Timing Control...

    First class service, Sean! I know that if my system (#27) costs just a bit more for a significantly improved engine / fuel management, I'd rather pony up some more money than see you go broke on R&D. Given your history of excellent products, I'm also ready to wait until you're happy with the...

    Stratus ABS on Viper

    What we don't know is how much time and custom machine work Anders friend has invested in making the system work as well as it sounds from the posts. I guarentee it's not a simple bolt-on plug-and-play operation! Again, I have no affiliation with Archer, but I don't think a straight dollars...

    Stratus ABS on Viper

    The photo a couple posts above is the same setup I have, purchased in March 2002 from BobbyArcher MotorSports and mine is a 3 channel system, not a 4 channel system. Otherwise, the description with the photo is accurate. Please don't misunderstand - I don't mean to be argumentative, Archer may...

    Stratus ABS on Viper

    Hello Ulysess, There was some very minor drilling required to mount the ABS unit, protective skid plate and route the wiring harness to the G-Switch. Illustrated installation maual is well written and easy to follow. Wiring harness was right length, lots of reinforcements for wire ties. The...

    Stratus ABS on Viper

    Jason, I have the Archer ABS kit on my 98 GTS and highly recommend it. I posted some of the pertinent details back in the March timeframe. You might search for ABS or just my posts (there aren't many). I'm guessing the folks at Archer are in transit from VOI. If you've not heard from them...

    Roe VEC Owners

    I have the controller / dial regulator in the glovebox in my 98 GTS. A bit of a tight fit with regard to wire length and requires one additional small hole ( NOT externally visible, to get out of the glovebox and under the console), but otherwise no big deal - and one can always splice in some...

    free length of Gen2 rear spring

    Hey Matt, None taken - I've definitely been wrong before! I'm very sure the springs I have are Gen II - they are new car (98 GTS) take-offs. They still have ID tags on them, "203 RR" (printed one above the other) are very prominent and there are two other numbers, 71765 and 04873203 printed...

    free length of Gen2 rear spring

    Maybe I've misunderstood ... If "free length" means installed in the car with some (or maybe no) load on the suspension or off the car but still in the shock assembly, then bad on me, I've misinformed Tom and will be summarily executed at dawn. If "free length" means out of the car...

    free length of Gen2 rear spring

    I just happen to have a set (rears for 98 GTS) sitting in my office at the moment... Free length is 12 1/2 inches.

    REHASH - Sidepiping a GTS

    Exactly as Paul said (since I've already followed his lead!) with one minor upgrade... I'd stick with cats, but replace the stockers with a set of high-flow cats from JonB or Sean Roe - advantages are better flow and cooler side sill temps. Back these up with the stock resonator and you'll be...

    Can this be fixed?

    The original sheet metal screws that hold the side sill to the bottom of the car can come loose / rattle out - especially after they've been taken out more than once or twice. This can make the side sill look like it's drooping. Best fix is nut-inserts and machine screws available from several...

    HVAC Control Quit Working

    Thanks both Joe and Ed. I think Ed may have it... Back in March car was at the dealership, was broken into and the stereo stolen. I doubt they were careful. Since I had already replaced the factory unit myself, I think I know exactly what you're talking about Ed, again, thanks! I'll also...

    HVAC Control Quit Working

    The HVAC controls - such as they are on our beloved Vipers - have quit working on my 98 GTS. Unless of course one considers cold air thrown through the defroster ducts more desirable than the usual locations - the only option currently functioning on my car. I've also noticed a slight...
