    Racing Stripes

    stock viper ETS

    I just ran my car last week in the 1/8 and went with a 1200 rpm launch.My best was a 1.98 60ft with an 8.17 @ 95.93mph.This was done on stock Pilots with Corsa exhaust.I cant see how you guys could launch at 3500 rpm's.Anything more than 1500 and Ill light the tires up through 3 gears. Joe

    T&D Rockers and pushrods

    That would defeat the purpose of longer rockers.The rockers are longer to increase the valve lift.More valve lift means more air/fuel entering the combustion chamber. Joe
