    Dyno Results From Paxton Install

    How did you calculate the crankshaft numbers? Not knowing that leaves no possibility of a comparison. As far as the comment about fantasy island I do disagree. We measured my Paxton car same day same dyno as a group of other Vipers. Both NA and charged. My car, with only exhaust mods in...

    Do these valves look normal? Head help?

    Sound wave device (like SONAR) that allows you to determine the thickness of materials with a known density.

    Hello All

    Been there so I know precisely what you mean. You are allowed to have an opinion, just do not voice it if it is in opposition to a couple of people here. Several times it has almost driven a small group in our region to create an associate membership to allow participation in the local without...

    Heat/Overheat Problem

    Not true for Gen I/II Vipers. The heater core is not full flow. It only flows when the heat is turned on. But, as I indicated earlier, flow through the heater circuit can help keep the thermostat in the coolant flow allowing it to open when the coolant gets up to the tstat opening temp. The...

    Heat/Overheat Problem

    Just saw the post and have a few comments. First is that 92 and early 93 cars have a unique cooling system that is very difficult to fill. Having air in the system will cause all of the problems mentioned. Best way to fill the system is to park nose down on a hill and fill through the heater...

    Paxton help quick!!!!

    I would contact Doug Levin and buy his improved tensioner. Otherwise getting a replacement from Paxton may be the only option. I doubt it is an off the shelf part.

    Question: Help Please

    No problem driving with them off. Team Viper did that many times in the early days when going drag racing and such.

    How should I have answered? How would you?

    I would have put the onus on him by asking why he purchased the Viper.

    Unethical. Any who do deserve the firing they will get!

    Extended dodge warranty would you buy now or wait?

    Thanks for your positive advice and support.

    Help! no wheel sensors.

    Don't even worry about being near the old sensors. They only activate at a speed of around 20 mph (centrifugal force makes the connection to the internal battery). I have 2 sets of wheels/tires (all 8 bald thank you) and switch back and forth. One set works and the other only has the lotire...

    Viper Future

    You might also find docket 197 interesting. Especially item 9 in the DIP presentation. Looks like we have a 2 week "vacation" coming soon. Note the entire cash flow summary is in docket 52 for those MBA wizards (oops that is supposed to include me).

    Viper Future

    Bob there are oodles of pages for your inquiring mind. Most contained within just a few of the docs of course. Your assignment is to read through it all and give us the scoop, so to speak. You might find docket 379 to be of interest as it contains the information on the so called non TARP...

    Viper Future

    As a note all bankruptcy documents are available to the public. Here is a paragraph specific to the Viper. From Docket #190 exhibit A. You can find all such documents at www.chryslerrestructuring.com. This should provide some insight as to the expected timetable of a sale, at least as initially...

    06 Paxton 697 rwhp

    Not snooty. Just concerned that this topic may be taken by all Paxton owners as a real concern when it may be limited to those that have something beyond the standard Paxton setup. You would (or should I say have) know it when I get snooty. :) But on technical things I am, ah, um, too darn...

    06 Paxton 697 rwhp

    More information required. Production fuel system with Paxton supplied add ons or something unique (from DLM I presume)? I have over 20,000 miles on mine. Including several track days. In a normal track day I start out with a full fuel tank and get about 4-5 15 minute sessions before running...

    06 Paxton 697 rwhp

    No fuel starvation issue here. Been dry to the bone on the track and pushing it hard (much harder than you can ever do on the street).

    06 Paxton 697 rwhp

    Seems high based on my experience. I run the Mopar race exhaust, which may have lower exhaust back pressure. Boost will run higher with increased back pressure. My boost generally comes right up to 8.0 psi at maximum. During normal driving I seldom exceed 7.5 psi. I have noticed that arund to...

    Oil lift drain

    I must have the same one as CCBrian. From Harbor Freight about 6-8 years ago. Holds 20 gallons or so. As such I only empy it every few years. Only wish I have is for a lid to cover the bowl.

    Bummer - 'End of Viper'

    The reality is no one, not even Bob Nardelli, knows what Judge Gonzalez will rule on once this gets into proceedings. Hoyle, in this case, is only the incoming arguments. Anyone who says they know for a fact what will happen is pulling your leg. Note words to that effect were told to senior...

    So, you want a VOI 11 right?

    Sorry it was VOI 2 in Monterey. And they had to give hard tops away for free to get enough participants. The club was much smaller then so that may not be directly comparable.

    So, you want a VOI 11 right?

    3 of 10 VOIs have been held west of the Colorado river. One has been held east of the Appalachians (sp?). Place the locations on a map and see how close the epicenter is to the population center. Bet it is pretty close.

    Chrysler to file for bankruptcy

    VEBA (a health care monetary fund) is the 55%. Not the union directly. It was stated that 1 union representative would be on the board. The same as has been for many years in the psat when Chrysler was publicly traded.

    Chrysler in Bankruptcy, now what?

    Sorry Dean but that is not very accurate. Actually Iacocca was President, Lutz was somewhere else (he came over 10 years later) and Tom Gale was just a young pup designer. Soon after Iacocca became CEO. Guys like Hal Sperlich, Withrow and others were Iacocca's cast. And some guy named Carter...

    10k miles and clutch is about done?????? what the heck

    I agree completely. You missed a few more of the common mistakes though: affect and effect brake and break infer your and you're grammar grateful and the number one is loose when they mean lose
