rcdice has done a good job describing the GTSR heads. I had a chance to flow the stock CNC GTSR heads vs. the stock Viper heads. The plot below shows the result. The heads really don't flow much better than stock except at high valve lift.
I plan to pull the heads this summer and have them...
Yesterday morning it was about 40 degrees outside when I took the viper for a ride. I forgot how great the car runs in the cold. It feels like it gained an extra 100hp!
If you want a real show quality paint job, you can take the car to a shop like Fat Alberts, Phoenix, AZ. They sand blasted the entire car with baking soda to remove all the factory paint. Painted my stripes on (with nothing else). Then painted the (Ferrari) red over the stripes. Color sanded...
RedGTS,
I'm curious why you went with the Novi 2000 rather than the Vortec Heffner usually uses? Was it simply a Paxton kit with a custom install?
I've heard the Novi 2000 is more efficient. Anyone know or have compressor maps for these units?
GTS Bruce,
Here I have do disagree with you. 510 stroker kits have offset ground "stock" cranks. Which MAY be a danger because you can grind through the heat treatment of the crank. And in this case yes, IMHO weakens the crank.
But, the best strokers use a billet crank which is many times...
Loud is right! I have a SPL meter and measure over 90dB inside the passenger compartment!
When I start the engine, small children and the elderly start running. It irritates the neighbors, and my wife hates it. I'd say it's just about PERFECT! :2tu:
Actually you can bore the stock liners. Mine are bored +.030. Combine that with a 4.25" billet crank and 6.125" rods yields an ever so enjoyable 542ci.
I don't know of anyone who makes a kit but I can give you all the specs you need.
One of the nice features of building a stroker motor is...
I have the same 345/30/19 on my car and a stock 3.07 rear gear. I also have a speedo recalibrator which is set at 1.05:1 (5%) over stock 3.07 (effective rear end of 2.92). This corrects any speed problems the speedo might have.
How long will it take me to remove the intake and heads of a 97 GTS with the engine still in the car? Is there a gasket set I can order from DC for this?
