    cam swap question

    I've been taking a few pictures as I progress, but not many. I think I have 3 and the only things I have left to remove are the oil pan, driver's side head, crank pulley and damper, and front timing cover (before I can get to the cam, that is). Anything specific you'd like to see pictures of...

    cam swap question

    Roe ported and milled heads, 232/236 cam, and Roe TB. Currently have K&N intake, M&M catless headers, and Corsa 3" exhaust with an SCT tune. Car was at 450/490 before those mods and 465/520 after, but the tune and after numbers were done on a Mustang dyno compared to a Dynojet that was used for...

    cam swap question

    Awesome, thanks! I'm going to remove the engine mounts, though, so I can install the Woodhouse mounts :).

    cam swap question

    For those of you who have done a cam swap with the engine in the car: do I have to remove the fan and radiator in order to get the cam out or is it possible to lift the engine enough to clear those things? I'm almost to the point of removing the cam (pretty much everything out except the timing...

    2005 Service Manual for sale.

    Where? I've been looking for a pdf version but I can't find them for very cheap ($50-100).

    DIY-Gen3/4 Window Regulator

    Pretty much exactly what I did when I had to replace mine (except I removed the door flags so I had a little more room to move the regulator around inside the door). Good job!

    Value of 08 coupe?

    I agree with the others. I'd be comfortable paying low to mid 60s for an '08 with that low of mileage, but it's not the right color for me. Blue or SSG would sell for 65k easily.

    Value of 08 coupe?

    So are you saying you don't agree with v10enomous' pricing? I never understand why people come here and ask for what they should sell their car for as they never agree (people always value their car for more than what it's worth). Your best bet is to look at AutoTrader, Cars.com, eBay, etc. and...

    gen 3 intake manifold removal

    Thanks guys! I was using 3/8". I'll have to pick up some 1/4" stuff after work today and see if that will work.

    gen 3 intake manifold removal

    I'm in the process of tearing my car apart for a heads/cam upgrade and I can't for the life of me get to the bottom bolt for the #9 cylinder. I've tried an open-ended wrench, long extension through the manifold with both a regular socket and torx socket, and a ratchet with a swivel head. Is the...

    New viper owner WI

    Sweet color! There are a few of us up in the Madison area. I have an '06 B/W coupe and another guy has an '08 (I think) B/W vert. We'll have to meet up next year (suspending the insurance tomorrow and getting started on my winter build).

    Furious!

    High-five from one Wisconsinite to another! Made it through the whole video! Network news should be taken with a grain of salt (this goes for all of them - Fox, CNN, MSNBC, etc).

    Furious!

    Fox news has really done a number on you guys, huh? Pretty sure that political orientation has nothing to do with how big of a douche you are. Oh, and OP, get over yourself. It's just a car and nothing bad happened to it.

    Cam swap dyno graphs

    Oh I am! Doing it all at once so I don't have to tear everything back apart.

    Cam swap dyno graphs

    Like I said above I just want to see some dyno graphs :). That was what was great about owning a Corvette: there's a ton of information out there and a dyno graph available for pretty much any combination. I know, I know there are a boat load more Vettes than Vipers, but it seems like everyone...

    Cam swap dyno graphs

    Did he ever end up going with a set of ported or aftermarket heads? I think his final numbers were ~550rwhp which seems kind of low for a cam and head upgrade.

    Cam swap dyno graphs

    I'm so tired of reading Twister's threads :). I've found his posts on pretty much every Viper forum known to man. His stuff seems to be the only thing that comes up when searching. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to speak to the vendors.

    Cam swap dyno graphs

    I know (I'm going to go with ported heads as well), but I still want to see the before/after graphs. I'm just curious.

    Cam swap dyno graphs

    Anyone here have their before/after dyno graphs for a cam swap? I just want to see what various cam specs do to our torque curve. I tried searching, but it seems everyone just likes to talk numbers instead of posting graphs.

    Ported heads and intake

    I had my wide vs narrow LSA stuff mixed up. If I go with a wider LSA will I lose low end response vs sticking with the stock cam? If I end up doing a cam then I guess it'll be a good time to upgrade the oil pan!

    Ported heads and intake

    That's why I was asking :). Vettes don't really benefit with just a head upgrade, but it seemed like a quite a few people here (and on other Viper forums) just go for the heads/intake only upgrade. I've already sent Greg a PM. A wider LSA could possibly work since I'm not looking for peak...

    Ported heads and intake

    I'm not really a fan of the sound or what a cam does to the drivability which means I'd have to go with a pretty mild cam. What would be the point of spending all of the extra money and doing the extra work for an extra 10hp? Unless there's a sleeper cam out there that can net more then I just...

    Ported heads and intake

    I'm looking into what I'm going to do to my car (gen 3) over the winter and I've been thinking about porting my heads and having the intake port matched. Has anyone done this without upgrading the stock cam? If so, what were the gains (and dyno sheet if you have it)? I had a cam in my previous...

    Problem with inside door "weather strip". what to do?

    I just ripped both of mine off. Looks much better than cracked/peeling/broken pieces. Thought I would end up fixing it, but I think it looks fine as is so I haven't gotten around to it.

    Interior Upgrades

    I want to do something similar to this (carbon fiber or wrapped in leather), but I'm not sure about how the climate controls and head unit will look since they won't match the bezel. Does it bug you at all? Nice, but I think I'm leaning towards leather or carbon fiber for the dash and console...
