    Slotted vs Drilled...

    Yes, I carry EBC pads that will fit with the StopTech calipers. I should have some coming in early next week. We sell different pads for street and racing driving, because there's really no such thing as a dual duty pad. (There are compromises to each.) I really recommend getting a set of...

    Slotted vs Drilled...

    Richard, I agree with JonB. While cross-drilled rotors look sexy, they do have a tendency to crack under extreme conditions. They also decrease the surface area of the rotor and chew up the pads. I prefer either slotted or plain rotors. I sell StopTech AeroRotors (as well as the full line of...

    Re: ANYBODY SEEN HRE 541\'S ON A VIPER? Wow! HRE can gold plate the center sections of their wheels! Dennis, you should definitely get THAT!! Our shipment of Corsa 3" cat-backs should be arriving any day now, and as soon as we get one on a car, I'll let the Board know so all you locals can...

    AUGH!! My eyes, my eyes! (photo)

    I think they left out the "u" between the S and the x. I looked at that picture and said, "Hey, that's...what?...what kind of?...is that a?...Eeeeewwwwwww." That is, my friends, what they call "fugly."

    Check Engine Light(temporary solution)

    Obviously this is a "heated" debate! We've applied the same practice of moving the O2 sensors closer to the heads for almost 12 years of building high-performance Mustangs. We've proven this works for '00 and '01 Vipers, too, as we're apparently the only tuner not to have the dreaded Check...

    Looking for a nice set of pedals....

    For future reference, we're an SRP dealer and will give VCA owners 10% off! We install their products all the time (on Mustangs as well) and are very pleased with them. The pedals do allow for much easier heel-and-toeing at the track. E-mail Wayne ([email protected]) or me...

    Just installed my 3' Corsa Exhaust

    Re: Just installed my 3\' Corsa Exhaust Thanks for the post! We have a 3" system on its way right now and will be giving our thoughts on it shortly. Glad you like the sound! I agree with you on Corsa's quality--second to none!

    Dyno Question

    Bob, there's a difference between a _big_ fan and a _high-speed_ fan. We have a huge fan that pushes a large volume of air and also a pretty compact fan that pushes the air at a tremendous velocity. We use the smaller fan on the dyno because it really concentrates the air into the radiator...

    Brian Angen Service and Memorial Fund

    I heard about this a couple days ago and was quite saddened. I've never actually met the Angens, but I had seen them racing their Panoz a few times, once at Viper Days/Buttonwillow. Brian was a good driver and, from what I've heard, a really nice guy. My thoughts go out to the Angens, hoping...

    Rear brake pads for 2001

    99t1, you say what we just found out--'01 rears are the same backing plate as T-birds. I agree with you about the Hawk HT9. It's a phenomenal pad! We've used them on a customer's '97 GTS w/ Wilwood 6-pistons up front, and they never had a problem. (Used HT8s in the rear.) Not so friendly to...

    Autoform rollbar & sidebar pictures

    There was quite a bit of drilling/fiddling involved to get the door bars to fit against the floor and vertical rocker section. The rear portion went in fairly well, although realize that the Autoform bar is _not_ meant to be used with the factory vinyl-covered piece that goes between/behind the...

    What is the best header, exhaust, etc......

    We install the Belanger headers, our 3" high-flow cats, and the 2.5" Corsa cat-back. The Belangers really do fit and perform well (we get between 25-35hp, depending ont the year), and the Corsa has the nicest sound (in my opinion) with none of the nasty resonance that some systems give. We...

    Autoform roll bar results

    A word of advice regarding the RT/10 roll bar--if you're over 6' tall or are--ahem--wide of girth, do yourself a favor and sit in a car that already has the roll bar in it. I'm 6'3" 190lb., and I found it a bit confining. However, that's with the NHRA-legal door bars. Without the bars, it'd...

    rocker arms

    OK, you caught me. My fingers were faster than my brain. I didn't mean to say that the valve would float. I meant to say the the valve wouldn't open if the rocker arm tip came off the valve tip. This, in turn, would cause the unseated rocker arm to bounce back and forth against the rest of...

    Compression ratio with Hennessey heads

    The pushrod length we ended up using was 7.500", and the T&D rocker arm geometry was exactly as it should be, with the rocker tip contacting the middle half of the valve tip.

    rocker arms

    Chuck, you're right on the money! The stock setup is just cheap stamped-steel rockers that simply drag back and forth on the valve tip. This causes a lot of friction. Roller rocker arms reduce friction between the rocker arms and the valve tips by way of a cylindrically-shaped roller on the...

    Compression ratio with Hennessey heads

    (I decided to start a new thread, as it was--ahem--going astray.) The following quote is from Ben Treynor: "Compression ratio unknown; compression test went from 165 to 195-200, which is about 10:1 per APEX. Car runs geat on CA pump gas, no detectable detonation during dyno runs (and we were...
