    Side Sill Chip Gaurds ????

    My late year '96 did not have them. The die cut ones are really expensive- I bought a roll of 3M protective film & applied it down low back to the "bulge". They are gonna get beat up or bent eventually anyway. The book shows only $123 for repaints.

    Drag radials & stock half-shafts

    Ben, My experience w/the BFG drags is below 2500-3000 lauch I would bog or wheel hop. I even run them at 25-30psi. it lauches as smooth as an automatic at 3000! 0-60's of 1.80. 11.7@120 w/just Borla's/K&N. Stock shafts, just got in some Unitrax safety loops. Put some whup-gAss on him! MW

    NOS / liquid propane jetting

    <FONT COLOR="Yellow">So, when referring to a "liq" or "gas" system, it's just a matter of WHEN the liquid turns into the gas... The standard 5 lb propane bottle has no pickup tube I suppose...?</FONT c> <FONT COLOR="#ff0000" SIZE="1" FACE="Verdana, Arial">This message has been edited by MW...

    NOS / liquid propane jetting

    I thought the big advantage to the n2o/pro was it's gas form when injected into the Viper manifold. What do you mean by "liquid" system, as they are both liq. in the bottle?

    Why would you buy heavy duty half-shafts?

    Has anyone used Mobil 1 in the trans & diff

    <FONT COLOR="Teal">I've used the Mobil 75-140 synthetic + friction mod. in the diff. since the 1st change (q7500miles). 5 gal bucket and pump, much cheaper that way.

    NITROUS OXIDE...

    <FONT COLOR="Navy"> Is the porpane tank temp as critical as the NOS? (using the NOS heater, so would I need a propane tank heater also, or is it jetted plenty rich even when N2O is at heated ..~900psi)? Thanks</FONT c>

    NITROUS OXIDE...

    <FONT COLOR="Blue">Totally agree w/the time req. to install the NOS 5180 kit. (dry system w/electronic fuel enrichment). But it seems to be a "safe" system w/ the 36 jets for the GTS. (40jets for the RT/10 92-95 w/OBD 1st gen). My air/fuel ratio monitor does show a step leaner w/ N2O activated...

    Anybody tried the BF Goodrich G-force T/A R-1s for drags?

    BFG drags on 10" Viper front wheels(used on rear!) is a big improvement and the least costly and safe (easier on driveline) .

    Best Way to get off the Line?

    <FONT COLOR="Blue">Low rpm launches resulted in unpredictable wheel hop for me. with BFG drags at 30psi they like 2500-3000, I suppose it lets them break loose a little bt still a nice smooth leave. A 1000-1500 it must be trying to grab and wheels hops-not a good feeling!</FONT c>

    Why would you buy heavy duty half-shafts?

    <FONT COLOR="Blue">What u-joints do the Unitrax come with?</FONT c> Might it be adequate to upgrade the stock Spicers (if a better one is availale?) if that is what breaks most of the time? (stock shafts-2500rpm leave-1.8 0-60, BFG drag rads at 30psi-no problems)
