    Need help w/shift light wiring

    For my '96 RT/10, using this same light, I tapped into the line connecting to the tach itself. I then had to set the configuration to 5 cylinders and it worked GREAT!

    Drag shocks

    I've been contemplating suspension changes aimed at the drag strip. I ran across so-called 'drag shocks', and it looks like they are just for the front of the car. I figure they allow the front end to raise easily under hard acceleration, thereby transferring weight to the rear. Is this...

    VIPER ON EBAY

    I sent a very cordial email to the dealer to ask whether the car had been in a collision due to the non-original stripes on the hood. The dealer never replied.

    Question about required safety equipment

    Can anyone list (or provide a pointer to a list of) the required safety equipment for the different drag race ET time ranges? I understand that safety equipment requirements change once you go quicker than 14 seconds, 13 seconds, 12 seconds, etc. I also understand that they differ somewhat...

    What is the 'heavyweight' engine?

    Re: What is the \'heavyweight\' engine? I inquired directly to T&D and was confirmed by their tech that these roller rockers will indeed work for my '96 RT/10. I got these off of Ebay for $730 plus shipping (Another identical set went for $810 last night). They are new and arrived in an...

    Re: What is the \'heavyweight\' engine? Thanks for the link. I ran across that data prior to my purchase and asked about it on this board. These should work for my car based upon info from Doug Levin in the following thread: Link to 1.7 Roller Rockers Thread According to the T&D website...

    What is the 'heavyweight' engine?

    What is the \'heavyweight\' engine? I received my Mopar Performance Race Rocker Arm Assembly P/N P5007049 today and verified that they really are from T&D Machine Products in Carson City, Nevada. The Mopar installation instructions state the following: "This kit will not fit 1996 and earlier...

    Anyone use the SMT5 or SMT6?

    I downloaded the software and it looks like this controller will allow loads to be modified based upon 500 RPM ranges. Basically allows programming to +/- fuel and/or advance over user specified RPM ranges. It's a piggyback system, so you program it from your PC but the settings are saved...

    Need 1.7 Roller Rockers info for Gen I

    Doug, thanks for clearing this up for me. The Mopar web site specifically excluded pre-97 RT/10s, so I thought there was some reason for the exclusion. If you're certain then I'll go ahead and get these. Thanks.

    Need 1.7 Roller Rockers info for Gen I

    I just found someone looking to part with some roller rockers for the Viper, mopar P/N P5007049. Unfortunately, it looks like these roller rockers WILL NOT fit my '96 RT/10! Can anyone describe the difference in the heads between the '96 RT/10 and the later RT/10s, as well as the '96+ GTS...

    New England Dragway Vipers vs. Vettes tomorrow (10/27)

    According to the New England Dragway website , the Vettes vs. Vipers event which was rained out two weeks ago (10/13) will be held tomorrow (10/27). I doubt many people are aware of this. It's also just about the last opportunity this year to race at that track.

    nitrous colder plugs-

    I recently looked into getting colder plugs for nitrous also. I found that most of the manufacturers decrease their heat range number as the plug gets colder. However, NGK was the only manufacturer I found that REVERSED this and raised their number as the plug got colder. FR6-1 would be 1...

    shiftlight for Vipers

    If you've got an older Viper (mine is a '96), the shift light electronics needs to support a 5-cylinder configuration. Since there are two coil packs in my car, the tach sees a pulse for every 5 RPMS (I think) instead of the expected 10 for a V10. I tapped into the cable that plugs into the...

    What gears do I have?

    Thanks, gents. I was thinking about counting revolutions of the engine, but you've pointed out that I need to count revolutions of the driveshaft only. That's easy to do.

    What gears do I have?

    phiebert, thanks very much for the chart. I will use it to see what I've got. I'll also validate by tire diameter. onerareviper, thank you, I agree that the most accurate method would be to count revolutions, though I didin't do this as I thought it'd be alot of work getting the car off the...

    When I had a decal on my Trans Am, it went on the inside of the windshield, so no concern about the elements.
