    Liquid Gold??

    The Castrol Syntorque is a great fluid, it holds up to extreme heat and reduces NGR. To be honest, Tremec uses ATF in most transmissions and only changed in the Viper because of the NGR. ATF 4 will work fine in the transmission, it will shift better but may have some NGR. ATF4 is used in the new...

    Skip shift eliminator for 2008?

    I installed these on several 08's and eventually had a check engine light. Stop using them after that so I cannot comment on the later models.

    1996 RT/10 Head Bolts

    From the pictures you have provided you have the early composite gaskets, where these taken before the work? Fill the system up and pressure test it. it may have just had air in it. The head bolts should not need a retorque.

    How many miles before you should change the fuel filter? Not in owners manual ---

    Re: How many miles before you should change the fuel filter? Not in owners manual -- No the Gen 1 and 2's have an external filter as described. Use some WD 40 on the connection and a pair of long needle nose plyers. It you really have an issue remove the wheel housing. There is also a filter...

    Just got back from getting tuned, dissapearing fuel pressure at 4500 rpms

    Be sure that a replacement intank module pump is the "siphon jet type" that fills up the bucket in the module. If not then you could run the bucket dry in a open road top speed test.

    Need your input on rear diff bang . I did search forums. Need help

    Sounds like a broken spider gear, if you have a 03 this is common. A Wavetrac posi is the hot ticket right now. If you are on a budget there are plenty of used posi's out there. I am sure VPA has them.

    Head Scratcher ... Dodge Can't Help ... Drive Cycle Readiness. Help?

    It seems to me there was a reflash for the early 03 Viper's to get the car to pass the evaporative monitor. Do you want me to check?

    Help Diagnosing Noise form Rear

    First check those upper and lower shock mounts. Grab the rotor and move it up and down to see if there is any play in the suspension. Another thing to check is the inner parking brake pad. They wear down and come apart, that could be the scrapping noise.

    Troubleshooting help: Ignition locked out?

    This sounds like a ground or battery issue. Even if a battery is two years old it could be bad. There are two grounds that are very important. Battery to frame and frame to engine. If either of these are loose or have a bad connection the problem you describe could happen. First you need to do a...

    ACR-X ECU

    The ACRX computer is a track specific calibration that runs open loop and requires high octane fuel. Calibrations are often changed by SRT for differing tracks and elevations. Best computer for the club racer or bolt on performance Gen 4 would be the MPP controller. Be aware the the MPP...

    How are you rewiring the harness in your door?

    New door wiring harnesses are available (I am sure VPA can get them). I always replace them. Repaired ones seem to go bad again and I have never had a replacement go bad. Must of done 50 of them.

    Help with Cat Delete Codes (420 & 430) 0n Gen. IV

    Your best bet is to change to the Mopar Performance Controller. It has a calibration that works well without cats and the check engine light will not come on.

    Oil Pan Gasket Question/Observation

    It could be the rear main seal cover gasket, I had this issue on numerous 1996-7 Coupes as the gasket material had a defect that made it shrink. You think the oil pan is leaking because there is oil there. Have not had any issues with the aluminum gasket.

    Low Cold Start Idle and Stall

    This could be an idle control motor issue as well. The IAC motor does not want to work when cold, if your battery checks OK this is most likely the cause.

    99 ACR w/ exhaust dyno results

    Your numbers are in the range they should be. Stock engines can vary about 5-7%. You could get some more power with a custom tune. If you run on 91 octane fuel then do not get a 93 tune. These engines are very knock sensitive. A tune with more timing may feel good down low but can damage the...

    do gears actually increase HP?

    Changing the gears does increase the applied torque to the wheels, torque gets you down the road. The first Cummings truck Dodge put out made 150hp but 400torque. Lower gears do not help unless you can get traction, so consider a better posi when you do a gear change.
