    To LPE or not to LPE??

    I agree with 1bad gts on the resell issue. If you can get 1/3 to 1/2 of what's put into it, you are lucky. The name of the tuner matters a little, but not much at all. Unless you find a rare buyer. Sad but true.

    To LPE or not to LPE??

    Can someone confirm? I didn't know final drive ratio affects dyno numbers... Trap speed is good indicator but it's driver dependent. Also, the weather, etc...

    To LPE or not to LPE??

    Remember, the LPE 540 package makes 630hp on the chassis dyno through the stock catalytic converters! The power band is also nice and wide. It would definitely be my choice...

    To LPE or not to LPE??

    Jamie, Sorry, I can't help. I highly recommend LPE. I have one of his stage II TT C5 and it's great. One of these days, I will probably have to get the 540 done on my slow cream puff. LPE does truly great work. Stands behind their products. Custom service is beyond expectations at times as...

    I couldn't take it anymore (water leaks, etc)

    Re: I couldn\'t take it anymore (water leaks, etc) I don't know all the details on the oil consumption fix. There is some kind of "baffle" in the valve covers. Under hard braking, oil was getting to the intake side. By sealing the "baffle" in the valve covers properly, it's supposed to fix the...

    I couldn't take it anymore (water leaks, etc)

    I couldn\'t take it anymore (water leaks, etc) I took it to a Dodge dealership based on recommendation from local club members. Results: Fantastic!! Cam, the Viper tech., is great. Water leaks and hood rubbing on the headlight lenses are now fixed. Haven't had a chance to test the oil...

    2001 GTS is getting frustrating. Please help before I sell it...

    A local club member highly recommends a dealer, but I still am very very concerned about having my car anywhere near a dealership... Last time I let a dealer fix my C5, the whole engine was damaged as the result (after trying to fix the problem 3 times, I guess they decided to kill the car). I...

    2001 GTS is getting frustrating. Please help before I sell it...

    The water leak is driving me insane (well, maybe I was already insane)... Anyway, the leak seems to be coming from the door near the side mirror where it closes to the bottom of the A-pillar. It's leaking on both sides. What are my options? Unless it's back to Woodhouse (which is not practical...

    Crazy Idea: Tires & Road Temperature

    Has anyone considered mounting little temperature sensing devices at each corner to monitor the tires and road surface temperature? Reading about all these accident, I was thinking that the added information might help a little?

    Help - did I damage my engine??

    It's a 2001 GTS. The smoke is definitely from the exhaust, no throttle, no smoke. The rattle wouldn't be the ABS (at least I think) because again, no throttle, no rattle. So, it's quite likely to be oil entering into the engine... Then I must have been detonating the engine. What's the best...

    Help - did I damage my engine??

    I was bedding my brake pads last night. Some hard braking from 70mph. At about 5mph, I would shift into 1st, accelerate hard, shift into second until I hit about 70mph and repeat. I was too focused on getting it done asap since I was on the freeway. 2 things bothered me. After hard braking...

    I have to let you guys know about Woodhouse...

    The whole dealership, the team of people who work there, they are all incredible!! Bob & Bill are definitely THE men for Vipers. Nancy is THE lady. If they are local to me, I will probably stop by and bug them every single day (well, it's not like I don't call them every single day. ) Maybe...

    Drove 600 miles to see Lingenfelter yesterday

    I agree that it's probably much cheaper to get the parts and have someone else put it together. But to me, the money is worth the service after the purchase, the knowledge, the support, the reputation, etc. It's waaaaaaaaaay better than finding out your engine was not stroked after the fact...

    Unbelievable New Track !!!!!!!!!

    According to Bob, when you cannot find Bill now, all you need to do is head to the track. It's only 45 minutes away from Woodhouse so Bill cannot hide...

    Lingenfelter Performace Engineering is really the shop! I think my cream puff will have to go visit LPE soon.

    Ti Alloy Roll Bar/Cage??

    Weight lost question for 2001 GTS

    What are some sane and effective ways to make my 2001 GTS lighter? Obviously, sane is subjective but I would like to hear your input. Are the stock seats heavy? Lexan windows? Thanks.

    Weight lost question for 2001 GTS

    Dion, I know, too much cream. Martin D, Yes, it does seem like it will be hard to lose much weight. I was hoping to trim maybe 200lbs? The plan? Keeping it a secret for now.

    Weight lost question for 2001 GTS

    Anyone knows how much stock 2001 GTS wheels weigh? Besides HMS, any other choices for hood, etc? More power is good, but lighter and more power is even better.

    I thought "Viper gets them hyper, Vette gets them wet"... Serious question within.

    I thought \"Viper gets them hyper, Vette gets them wet\"... Serious question within. But my Viper is getting them wet! Somehow, water seems to be entering the car near the speakers?? Any ideas?

    Using oil at the track?

    Hmm... I am running Mobil 1 5w30. Maybe that explains some of it. I have yet to check if the throttle bodies are dry or not. I hope everything is ok...
