If you have a Gen 2, we make a baffle kit for the oil pan and dual pusher fans to help low speed cooling. Marks suggestion is good, we have a misting setup we use in the front of the radiator when we do a lot of dyno load testing, makes a big change in temps.
I agree, the Viper is not designed as a drag racer. We built many Vipers for the drags and the one mile, there was always a point at which you change the whole nature of the car. There are some minor mods you can make to each Gen to make it better and more reliable at the drags while still...
The reason this problem can be hard to define is that there are many things that can cause this issue. Mark and Doug made some good comments. Tell us some more about your car, engine or driveline mods, how many miles? Those 20 inch rear wheels use a Mich tire with a very stiff sidewall, tire...
There was a mention to how things can break trying to get a good ET, we struggled with driveline issues on Drag Vipers until we changed to automatic transmissions. Then they were very reliable.
Here is a link to our first NHRA certified 8 second run, several years ago. We had to change this car to an automatic, or else it would just break parts.

I would be happy to help you put together an engine package that will meet your specific use and expectations. I work with some of the best in the business and have been modifying Vipers since 1992. Happy to help. 310-597-6295
If the dealer is repairing it, have them send it out for repair. Stock sway bar end links will be fine, but aftermarket adjustable links will be better, helps adjust the load on the bar.
I am a little confused on your post. If you have a Viper truck engine with automatic transmission then it must be a 2005 or 2006 model year, thats when they came with the automatic. If so then I could find the right driveshaft yoke for you.
The dyno sheets shown really show the torque comparison. The SC Corvette has the low speed advantage. Once you get settled into your car, I think the performance factor will be obvious. You really need to "drive" a Viper to see its strong points. Get the car on the track and the "time attack"...
It really depends on the build of the engine. The 70mm throttle bodies will increase peak hp but low speed driveability will suffer. On big cam engines they really help smoothing out the surging issues related to the long runner intake manifold.
I would be happy to go over our options as well, we have several differing clutch and flywheel packages that we can taylor to your application. I have tried every clutch on the market. Ive used the BBG clutches in our race cars and street cars as well, they have a good product. 310-597-6295.
To give the car more decel pop or flames, you need to increase the decel fueling. Its the unburnt fuel that causes this. Unless there is a big explosion this will not hurt the cats, a richer mixture makes the cats live. One side effect of adding decel fuel is you will get less decel engine...
