    600 rwhp N/A dyno

    I was going to go with a Roe blower, but then this deal fell in my lap. I wanted a fast street car that runs on pump gas. I seems to me that the Roe is the best bang-for-the-buck out there, though.

    600 rwhp N/A dyno

    Wow, so many experts about others situations on here.... 1) The price they charge is expensive. However, I never said I paid that. Truth be known, for the price I did pay, I doubt anyone on here could argue with me on making my decision. I did purchase this used from a close friend, not...

    600 rwhp N/A dyno

    If you go to RSI's website, www.racingsolutionsinc.com and then go to Vehicle Packages, Dodge, Viper Gen2 and then to 750 Unlimited it covers what all is done. Things like cam specs are held secret by Jason, which is understandable, but the engine is 11:1 cr, from what I was told, with ported...

    600 rwhp N/A dyno

    There was a dyno day yesterday for a local car club, www.scottsdaleexoticcarclub.com. My car put down 600 rwhp and 615 rwtq on 91 pump gas. It basically has the RSI 750 Unlimited Package and I have a VEC2 for tuning. Jason builds one heck of an engine. I really enjoy that instant "snap" of a...

    GTS 1/8 Mile Time 4.91 at 150.5

    The general rule of thumb is to take your 1/8 mile ET and multiply it by 1.5 to get your 1/4 mile time. Most cars will put on about 30 mph in the 2nd 1/8 mile, but when you start talking about some really high HP cars, that number can get into the mid 30's to low 40's.

    stay NA or bolt on a SC?

    I was going to go the Roe supercharger route, but a deal came along that I couldn't pass up for an RSI 510 stroker engine. It's basically their "750 unlimited" package. It does have it's quirks with the huge cam and trying to tune it with the VEC2, but I finally got it pretty much ironed out...

    Thanks to Jason @ RSI...

    My car had a clutch failure last month while on the way home. The 4-year old (ish) Spec clutch that was in there finally sheared all of the rivets that hold the hub to the disk. Spec was closed until Jan 2 and this was jsut befroe Christmas. I called RSI on Dec. 26th and even though they were...

    Michelin Pilot 345/30/19 ZR 98Y

    I'll have a good one hopefully by next week. I'd say it's about 90% tread if not more.

    2nd gear power braking??

    Yes. Remember, you can't just ease off the clutch when you start to do the burn out. You'll hurt the clutch in no time flat. You have to "pop" it so it shocks the tires and gets them spinning. (Like that table cloth/ dining room table trick).

    2nd gear power braking??

    Stab the brake with your right heel. Put the car in 2nd gear. Bring up the revs to about 4500 rpm or so with the ball or toes of your right foot while still holding the brake with your heel and let the clutch out. You'll have to give it more gas as the tires heat up to keep the revs up...

    Are there any type of upgraded U-Joints available?

    I was at the track yesterday and I shattered a u-joint on my drivers side half shaft. Is there an upgradable u-joint that I can purchase for the half-shafts? I have the big-fat Unitrax shafts on it, now. Thanks!!

    RSI packages?

    I have the 750 Unlimited package and it's basically what they say it is. Mine dyno'd a bit lower than what they say on their website, but my A/F was in the high 11-12:1 range, so there is a good amount of room for improvement on my part. I'm still fine tuning it with a VEC2. My car doesn't...

    FAST WIDEBAND DUAL SENSOR AIR/FUEL METER?

    I just got mine installed about a week ago. It works well. The display is easy to read. With the dual sensors, you can datalog up to 25 minutes with the push of a button. It has 2 analog signal outputs for outboard dataloggers like a VEC2. The wierd part is that they outputs are 0v-4.096v...

    Hypothetical question about our hoods

    It seems as though mods increase the value on these cars because I see modified ones for sale all of the time and they sell for more money than the stock or near stock cars. I'm not saying that you get 100% of the money back for mods, but it seems as though you get a good chunk of it back. As...

    Hypothetical question about our hoods

    My buddy with a '99 GTS has a damaged hood. Since they either can't be repaired or are very difficult to repair he is looking at the possibility of buying a used hood and having it painted to match, if required. My suggestion to him was to spend a bit more money and get into an SVS carbon...

    Viper ranks below 911 and Z06?!?

    Those other cars tested like the Z06 and the 911 especially are way more refined than the Viper ever will be. Which is why there are a very select few of us that own them! I like this part: The Viper was rated as "Poor" in most "Comfort and Convenience" areas including "Ride," "Noise," and...
