    Oil Filter Recommendations

    I have owned 2 Vipers since new and used NAPA Gold and WIX filters for a long time. I track my street car far more than most anyone with Mobil 1 15W-50 exclusively. I sample once a year at oil change and evaluate the results. I have gone 3-4 months between starts without worry about starvation...

    Stupid question about water pump

    There are 2 different impeller hub diameters - 12mm and 5/8". Somewhere between '98 and '99 is where they got bigger. Here's what the innards look like:

    Looking for OEM HVAC control knobs

    I think you are correct.

    Stupid question about water pump

    My experience is that the seal ages out LONG BEFORE the bearings do. I haven't found a vendor for the seals by themselves, or the bearing/seal cartridge.

    Looking for a gen 2 water pump.

    You are part-way there by landing here. Do some thread searching. There are 2 shaft sizes to choose from. The treads will help you choose wisely.

    Driver window not working

    As a very temporary stopgap attempt, you can try squeezing/jiggling the bellows between the foot box and door while operating the switch. It may get you a few cycles.

    98 GTS Rear Wheel - Looking for a like new rear wheel or someone that repair mine that has curb rash.

    You should find a wheel repair shop to smooth out the rash and re-clear the damaged one. Couple hundred bucks max and 1-2 weeks.

    Fuel pump/module question

    Then you're plumb out of gas. You put a few gallons in, cycle the key on/off several times to prime the pump and injector rails, then fire it up.

    Fuel pump/module question

    You are correct. Have you read the 850 hp sticky thread at the top of this sub-forum?

    Fuel pump/module question

    It's the center venturi section of the pump that extends below the bucket and draws from the tank. As long as there's 1-2" of fuel in the tank, it will prime.

    Which gearing is the best all around…3:55 or 3:73 (1997 GTS)

    3:55 is a very popular gear. Some have done 3.73, but you'll be rowing through the box constantly.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    Those strakes are really going to improve your spoiler efficiency. You might think about an assortment of varying height Gurney strips after you get some shakedown runs on it.

    Pulling your car out of storage? Jump starting? READ THIS FIRST.

    I just put mine on a 2 Amp trickle charger for 10-24 hours about every 6-8 weeks. Hook up to the positive stud on the PDC, then ground to the stud on the rocker panel ahead of the hood guide. Seems to work fine for me.

    The Quest for 275 MPH

    I think you're going to generate some drag-inducing vortices from the spoiler corners and might want to think about turndowns/fences. You should to look at Pro Stock spoilers as a guide. The folks at ART were heavily into big speed with the G3-4/CC platform. Todd may be willing to share some...

    Gen 2 track thoughts

    Those SVSi headers are NOTORIOUS for burning, melting and boiling everything near them. You absolutely MUST use heat shielding (not just header wrap) and heat socks on the plug wires for track duty! If Dan did the build, then most likely it is taken care of. However, lots of people would rather...

    Help me with my custom fuel system

    I bought a track car early this year with a big Aeromotive A1000 pump mounted to the frame down low and a gutted OE bucket and top hat. It had AN10 out and AN8 return bulkhead elbows and the suction hose just stuck through the bottom of the bucket to just above the tank bottom. Hoses were super...

    Front Fender Vents

    I vented mine back in about '01. Brake cooling improved tremendously. About 4 years ago, I found the side flap seal to finish out the holes. I figured I wanted to give both the wheel wells and the engine bay some room to bleed excess pressure. The split is about 50/50.

    Does anyone know where I can buy the center council support wedge?

    My car has no such thing as built.

    Gen 3 brakes on a Gen 2

    I strongly believe in stainless lines, the Gen2 rear brakes with 40mm piston upgrade, along with pulling the spring out of the proportioning valve for more line pressure. You still won't lock them.

    Mobil 1: "Ask The Pro" Response... "Why You Should Change Your Engine Oil Annually"

    The 3/3000 adage is from the "Mr. Dirt" commercials. I think that ad campaign was from the late '70s/early '80s. To a large degree, it is completely absurd with today's highly refined engine oils and additive packages - particularly with respect to full synthetics. For a historical perspective...

    CCW Wheel Set For Sale - Gen 2

    If you are measuring outside the lip flanges, then you will show an extra 1/2" per half. The correct measurement is to the vertical faces of the tire bead area. What tire sizes are mounted?
