    anyone running agressive rear offsets on their 19/20 set up?

    Its a fine line when considering bigger wheels and larger offsets. The dynamics of the suspension are limited, so consider your car may ride very harsh and handle poorly if setup with larger wheels, a tire with a thin sidewall and a lower ride height. The car can be setup to look awesome when...

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

    One issue I have found on 2 2003 Vipers recently that failed smog was excessive voltage drop in the cranking circuit. The battery ground needed to be cleaned and tightened. The high resistance would cause the computer to "reset" everytime the car was started.

    Penske vs Motons

    I have been using custom valved Penske systems since 1996. They are the Rolex of shocks. Price point is higher than the MCS. Lots of options, PM me if you want some info. The MCS systems are much improved over the early JRZ-Moton systems.

    Bigger injectors with heads and cam?

    In most cases I have found that the stock injectors can support 600rwhp for the Gen 2's.

    gen 4 camshaft specs please.

    There are some aftermarket VVT cams that are being tested now that should be available in the near future. The issue is they are being developed for racing applications and programmable engine management systems, not very practical for street use. I am currently working with an ACRX that will be...

    OS Giken Differential in Viper

    I have tried all the differential options and always go with the OS Giken Superlock. It has a seemless transition from lock to unlock, runs cooler than a gear diff and has exceptional tractability.

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

    The easiest way to see if the computer is reseting at start-up is to look at "starts since reset". If it reads 0 then the computer is reseting. PCM voltage can be checked at the PCM during cranking. If it drops too low you have a supply or voltage drop issue. This is all stuff that the dealer...

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

    This should be an easy fix. I deal with CARB readiness failures all the time. We put the car through a drive cycle on the dyno, then force it to run the evaporative tests. Unless there is something else wrong with the car, its pretty simple.

    ??? for anybody that can help me, cooling issues>>>>

    If the car runs low on coolant, the expansion tank gets pressurized with steam and cracks! Replace the tank, cap, thermostat and a 50/50 mix of new coolant and distilled water. Hope this helps.

    Gen 4 exhaust question

    A little exhaust trivia here. We remove the crossover exhaust on the 03-06 models. It frees up a little power and reduces heat. On the 08-10 models with headers/ with or without cats (track only). We found adding the crossover increased torque by 30 in the mid to high rpm range without any loss...

    '08 Tuning

    Mopar Performance did have a controller for the Gen 3 that complimented a MP cam and exhaust package. They also had numerous Competition Coupe calibrations that were loaded for differing tracks and altitudes. These were only available to the race teams.

    Best Practice for Installing Cam

    First off, you will get the most benefit from a cam change with ported cylinder heads and a lifter upgrade. I always prefer to remove the engine, although it can be done in the car. With the engine out you can easily degree the cam and figure the compression ratio. It also gives you a chance to...
