    Help with Octane again.

"I have always heard the same thing at Tech Sessions I have gone. to. They say the lowest possible octane your car...

    Help with Octane again.

    I posted, previously, about my manual stating that my ACR requires 91% Octane and higher is not recommended. I received some great advice in response. Previous post The problem is that all the gas stations I went to have only 87, 89, and 93% octane. Please excuse a possibly stupid...

    91 or 93 Octane?

    The knowledge base on this forum amazes me! I will look for 91% from now on. I'll check on my wife's G35 Coupe as well. Although, its a higher compression engine and mostly requires the 93%. Thanks.

    91 or 93 Octane?

    I was just browsing through my owners manual and noticed the manual recommended 91 octane. The confusing part reads, "The purchase of higher octane is not recommended." It's the "not recommended" part that perplexes me. Shouldn't 93% be better?

    How much power from headers.

    Thanks.

    How much power from headers.

    Do the "Creampuff" years cover the '01? I have an ACR and I heard the estimated horsepower is 460 at the crank. If this is a "creampuff" year, is that 460 over rated?

    H.I.D. night shot (pic)

    I'm new, so where can I get these and how much are they? There is a world of difference between my wife's Infinity and my Viper when driving at night.

    Looking to buy soon

    I'm new to Vipers, so I won't pretend to know much, but I chose '01 because anti-lock brakes became available that year. I'm sure there were a few more updates that year.

    Thanks for all the great advice. The resonators have already be removed. Also, what does S&B stand for and who sells them? Definitely need new exhaust, I want this thing to sound like it means business.

    Question on coolant flush

    Forgive a possibly stupid question from a new guy, but how often should the coolant be flushed.

    Looks like I'll start with the K&N. Then headers, reprogram and exhaust. Thanks.

    Thanks for the info. Why will '01's not see as much of a jump as other years?

    To achieve 800rwhp/tq would probably require more money than I would like to spend. What is VEC2?

    I just bought my '01 GTS ACR Thursday, so it will be a little while until I start modding. However, I would like to know what are the best initial mods. I had my Vette modded with Long Tube headers, 3" mid/X-pipe, corsa exhaust, cold air intake, 160 Therm. Stat., LS1 edit, Aluminum Flywheel...

    Thanks for the advice...I bought a GTS

    I'll try to get some pics on tomorrow. How do I join the VCA? Are there any publications for parts and accessories like MID America is to Corvettes? Or similar magazines like Corvette Quarterly but for Vipers. So much to learn, help me get started.

    Thanks for the advice...I bought a GTS

    I posted some questions regarding buying a Viper and thanks to your advice, I am now the proud owner of a '01 GTS ACR. It is Sapphire Blue with about 11k miles. Its amazing. Completely different experience from my Vette. The acceleration is deceptive. It accelerates so effortlessly. I do...
