    VEC 2 Hook Up To Laptop

    If you don't have a DB9 cable port on your laptop, you'll need to get a USB to DB9 adapter. I have one from IOGear and it works well. I also have 2 6' DB9 cables that I connect together so that I can have the laptop in the passenger seat. I just run the cable across the back of the engine...

    Where's the dividing line between VEC2 and AEM tunable Viper setups?

    Re: Where\'s the dividing line between VEC2 and AEM tunable Viper setups? All states aren't like that. For example here in Arizona, emissions testing is done by the State, at their own facilities. They're like Nazi's out here. I know that in California they use 3rd party emissions testing...

    Striker Heads! Anyone using them?

    That works out to around 680-ish, rwhp on a dynojet, I think.

    Those with aftermarket clutches, is pedal harder or easier to engage?

    I have an aluminum flywheel and a Spec stage 5 clutch. The pedal feels almost like stock. The clutch is a bit grabbier, (yes, that's a new word I just made up) than stock, but it's fine even in traffic.

    How to get 600 RWHP with a N/A motor?

    I think for you to get to 600 rwhp on a stock bottom end would require you to spin the engine too fast. A 510 or more stroker would be the way to go. Yes, 600 rwhp can be done on pump gas, too. You'll need everything modified from the air filters to the tailpipe plus all of the supporting...

    MAJOR wheel trouble (overtorqued lugs)

    Hammer an impact socket, (thick walled, usually black in color) onto the lug nuts. If you can't remove each lugnut from the socket you'll have to buy a lot of impact sockets. Potentially 1 for each lug.

    Rough running Viper, need ideas...

    I'm on the right track with the bucking issue. I had to mess around with the throttle body linkage and set screw. I't not perfected, but it's better. The biggest problem right now is how the car loses all power and drives like a Camry or something. I could add a big ground from the chassis...

    Rough running Viper, need ideas...

    I just installed a 510 stroker motor in my '97 with a Vec2 to help tune everything. I have a couple of odd problems, though. 1) At part throttle driving, either while cruising or just pulling away from a stoplight, the car will buck and lurch. 2) If I do a full-throttle blast someitmes the...

    High HP on ROE blower

    That car was owned by a good friend of mine here in Phoenix until a couple of years ago. That car was immaculate when he sold it. All of the mods were done "right". It's a very nice car.

    How hot is too hot?

    The line before 250 is 225. The line after 190 is 200. I was comparing the gauge to Autotap software we had running on the dyno today.

    Arizona tuners?

    Actually, we just got through today tuning my VEC2 at Arizona Dyno Chip in Chandler. It was our first time messing with this system. I needed to make one call to Sean Roe and he got us off on the right ath in about 10 minutes. (Thanks Sean!) The owner of the shop, Keith, is a great guy and...

    Dyno #s and Ambient Temps

    All things being equal, every 10-12 degrees is about 1% change in power.

    97 Blue and White GTS Values

    They're talking about a red '97 vs. a b/w '97, not a FE.

    Roe & Paxton guys...please post your dyno sheets

    There are some dyno's on Roe's site showing a GENII car with his supercharger. You can compare that with Bill B's and others to see how the curves compare.

    What size piston ring compressor for 97 GTS

    I just used one of those adjustable ones that I picked up at NAPA for $12. It worked just fine.

    VEC2 limitations?

    The reason I'm asking is that I may be purchasing a car that already has an AEM with a stroker motor/ nitrous, etc. It seems that with the AEM, there is always some sort of problem here or there that can get irritating on the Vipers. A/C problems, alternator problems, etc. I was looking at...

    VEC2 limitations?

    I was curious as to what the limitations of a VEC2 are. At what point does the VEC run out of flexability and someone has to go AEM? Is it dependant upon what type of setup someone is running? Horsepower limitations? Thanks!!

    "Clacking" noise in the motor....

    Re: Well, I was having a lean condition in cylinder #1. So, I decided to swap #1 injector with #7 injector to see if I had a weak or dirty injector. I figured that I'd drive around for a few days to see if the problem followed the suspect injector. Basically, I'd check on the plug in #7 to...

    "Clacking" noise in the motor....

    Re: I found the problem. I bent the rod and there is a hairline crack in the piston skirt. It must have happened when I was swapping injectors. I think I hydraulic'd that cylinder. There must have been just enough residual fuel that got in there to cause the problem. Damn it.

    "Clacking" noise in the motor....

    Re: Actually, it's quite the opposite. The car was lean on motor only and pig-rich on the spray. I don't have that sorted out yet.
