    VIR Viperdays results?

    Bump - If this was about blowers or Zaino there would be 50 responses by now. Does anyone still race (not that straight stuff :D ) their Viper anymore? How did those guys do back east - anyone? Thanks!

    5 point harnesses

    Teamtech makes a nice one with an additional strap across the chest that keeps the shoulder straps from separating. If you plan on doing any road racing/track events, you should consider going to a 6-point harness as most sanctioning bodies are moving in that direction. Regards,

    Best Heads/Cam Package for the Money

    Frank, In my opinion, it is all about intended purpose. Bench racing or drag racing = blower. Road racing = naturally aspirated. A good set of heads will work on both. Cams are application specific though. Regards,

    FASTER THAN A VIPER

    It is funny how people use drag race times to compare a cars peformance when one (Viper) is purely designed for road racing and the others are built mainly for drag racing (except the Vette and 427 Cobra). The Viper purely runs fast 1/4 mile times because of its HP/Weight ratio. Its entire...

    Best Heads/Cam Package for the Money

    Ryan, I have BPE heads and they are great. I tried to send you an email but the address in your profile bounces back. Send me an email or PM and I'll shoot you a dyno sheet (not sure how to post one here). Best regards, Mike [email protected]

    noob with some ??s

    Vin, Yes, that set up has some drone. I would suggest going to a Viper event and getting some rides in different cars with different systems. I am sure people would be happy to take you for a ride. VOI 8 is coming up in september followed by Viper Days both at/around Texas Motor Speedway...

    noob with some ??s

    Vin, Congrats on the baby. Obviously I like the '96/'97 Blue GTS's. Headers and a Borla cat back exhaust will readily do the car alarm thing (that is what I have and it happens a lot). Welcome to the Viper world! Regards,

    Open face or closed face helmet for Viper driving only

    Sonny said it all. Absolutely, closed face. This is crazy. Are you going to listen to the guys that actually race or the ones that sit here on the boards and say things ridiculous things like "I really think autocross is tame enough to need no helmet at all" or "For autocross you will want to...

    Does anyone make a bump-steer kit?

    Lou, Call Bobby Archer Motorsports, I know Bobby is working on some new links and a steering rack mount that allow bump steer to be easily adjusted. I think they are just finishing it up and it hasn't been released yet, so let him know I sent you his way. Bobby Archer 817-877-1772 Regards...

    Part 1 Who lets their wife/Gf drive their Viper?

    Are there any aftermarket pistons out there?

    JE's and Diamonds are $1,000 for a set of 10 in an "anything you want" configuration. Just my advice, do rods at the same time and do not stroke the motor. Regards,

    I am looking for a larger radiator to buy now.

    ab, I have a fluidyne "stacker" system that fits in the stock opening. It is similar to that seen on this page: http://www.fluidyne.com/pl_radiators.html called the Double 38mm with stack EOC. What I did is sent them the dimensions of the radiator opening and size and location of the...

    Comp Coupe Exhaust Question

    Thanks Frank, I thought I remember the CC's being quieter than that. Too bad the all the rich folk that moved in right next ot a race track whinned about the noise and ruined a great thing for the rest of us. Regards,

    Comp Coupe Exhaust Question

    Hi all, I have a highly modified GTS and am trying to make it sound legal for Laguna Seca - 92db max. With Borla's and no cats I touched 101 db full throttle (with reslutant black flag and verbal spanking). Even 6th gear and partial throttle just to get up the hill from 5 to 6 (where the sound...

    Whats MY COMPRESSION ??

    Jon, I have a '96 GTS and the stock pistons are definately flat tops with no valve reliefs. You should have fun, I hear Jeff does a great job on heads. I checked a bit and I was told 80cc is just about the max you can open up a Gen II combustion chamber to (maybe another cc or two). I guess...

    Jon, Glad I could help. Who did your heads?

    Whats MY COMPRESSION ??

    Me again, I just looked at the calculator linked above, here is what you are missing: Deck = -0.035" Head gasket thickness = 0.054" Piston net volume = 0 The pistons are flat tops Gives you 9.13:1 with their calculator. I guess that would have been easier :o Regards,
  21. W

    Whats MY COMPRESSION ??

    Here you go: Static compression ratio equals [Chamber Volume(CV) + Gasket Volume(GV) + Deck height Volume(DV) + Piston Displacement Volume(PDV)] / [Chamber Volume(CV) + Gasket Volume(GV) + Deck height Volume(DV)] With your variables and substituting in stock values for what you don't know...

    Most Annoying Things About Owning a Viper

    I grew up without much money and was once one of those kids asking to sit in every cool car I saw. No one ever really obliged and most just said "go away kid". To this day I think they were all jerks. I always let people look at the car, sit in it to take pictures, answer their questions, etc...

    Wondering how the intake to head port match is..

    FE 065, At least on a '96 GTS, the intake ports are larger than the head ports at the interface. Some quick work with a carbide bit........ :D Regards,
