    Random High Idle / Sticking Idle - <master thread>

    Did we ever come to a decision as to the root cause of the problem? PhoenixGTS? Gerald?

    Water/Meth injection thoughts on Centrifugal chargers....

    Adam, I would think you would want to put the mix in POST supercharger for two reasons, 1) the centrifigal will tend to spin the moisture out of atomization and condense it into liquid form on the housing of the compressor (i think) 2) the pre-supercharged air is not as hot as the post...

    Keep hitting 2nd while going for 4th!

    I did it once when the car was new. (Or maybe I was new to the car.) Hasn't been a problem since. I do have an SVSi shifter. This is a fantastic shifter and makes shifts crisp and positive.

    HP/Torque Question

    With all the insane TT numbers being tossed around... How much HP/Torque can the stock 97 Viper bottom end take? At what point do I need to rebuild the bottom with billet main caps? Who has the highest HP with a stock bottom end?

    Paolo, Congrats to you! It must be a blast having a TT car in the first place, but to be able to say that you built the thing yourself...Priceless. Congratulations!

    Is this cam anything to get excited about?

    Mark, Is the stated duration at .050 (50 thousands) lift? If it is you will NOT want to use this cam for your Viper. A cam with this much duration (at .050) is a drag racing cam. If you try to use this cam on your car, you will find that 1) the stock computer will not be able to idle the...

    CNC vs. Hand Ported Cylinder Head Upgrades?

    Greg, You are the man. Thanks for the thoughts. I had the same thoughts about laying the chamber back. Remeber the closed-chamber BBC heads compared with the open chamber ones. Laying the chamber back on the closed chamber castings really helped them flow a lot better. Thanks again for the...

    Who here has a Lingenfelter 540 stroker motor? I know at least a couple of folks here do. Anyone know how many of these cars were built?

    CNC vs. Hand Ported Cylinder Head Upgrades?

    The GTS-R heads have a smaller chamber than than the stock heads. My motor is a 542 and we used dished pistons to keep the CR at 9.8:1. So I have no idea what the CR would be with just the heads. Unfortunately, the stock cam doesn't offer enough lift to really take advantage of the heads. The...

    CNC vs. Hand Ported Cylinder Head Upgrades?

    I have a set of the CNC GTS-R heads on my car now. Here is a comparison of the flow characteristics vs. a stock head. Keep in mind that these heads hold about a quart more coolant than the stock heads. So flow characteristics are only one of the benifits of these heads. I am going to pull...

    Thanks GARY ALMOND!

    Gary is the best. He is the ONLY one I would have transport my car. He moved my car from LA to Indianapolis. He called my every day to report on the progress and treated the car like his own.
