    What price for a S/C SRT?

    Hey viper-folk, It's been a year, and time for another car-shuffle at Chez Treynor. We're selling our DC Performance supercharged '03 SRT/10, and I have no well-founded idea of what would be a reasonable price - presumably somewhere in the $50K-$70K range? Anyone with any data on what the...

    Moving sale - SRT K&N intake & filters $80

    The title says it all - I'm moving, and in packing up the garage discovered the K&N intake for our SRT/10. We used it for about 1000 miles, then replaced it with a Paxton intake ( :D ) and it's sat in a corner ever since. I'll throw in the stock air filters as well. $80 + shipping to a...

    pwn3d in my S/C Viper... by my wife!

    It was bound to happen eventually - with the gorgeous weather here in NorCal, both my wife and I were driving our convertibles. She took the SL65, while I opted for our supercharged Viper SRT/10. As fate would have it, we met up for dinner before heading home.. and afterward found ourselves...

    Dragstrip results: SRT/10 w/Paxton, heads, 3.55s, DRs, etc.

    I just got back from the Sacramento Drags, the first time I'd visited since Dan Cragin installed the Paxton in our SRT/10. The results were promising, but the setup needs a bit of tuning before it'll be turning out awesome numbers. First off, the digits :) Best run was 10.9, best MPH was...

    Annihilated an SL55

    Ahh, the perfect evening! The rain has dried up again, the NorCal air is warm, and the Viper has its top down and the stereo cranked up. I swing by the local shopping center to pick up a copy of the just-released "Splinter Cell-Chaos Theory" and a cup of coffee, and am on my way back home on...

    Quiet power: 680 RWHP, 611 RWTQ, and no noise!

    Well, those of you who know me know that I can't leave well enough alone. In preparation for this season's racing events, I sent our '03 SRT/10 down to Dan Cragin for a little track prep. Nothing serious, just a roll bar, an oil change, a safety once-over... and a Paxton S/C kit. My...

    SRT rollbar pics

    Our SRT is currently down with Dan Cragin getting a few *ahem* choice upgrades in preparation for an upcoming grudge drag race. One of the upgrades was a proper rollbar - my criteria were: (1) must not destroy rear visibility; (2) must strengthen the frame; (3) must not interfere normal...

    Gen-III / Paxton dragstrip results?

    OK, the title says it all - with all those Paxton kitted Gen-IIIs out there, some of you must have taken your SRTs down the 1/4. How did you fare? What would you do differently? What's next?? Inquiring minds want to know :)

    HP gain from cam swap

    Does anyone (i.e. tuners) have data on what HP gains may be had from a cam swap on the SRT? I've already got lightly ported heads + K&N intake + Mopar ECU, and am looking for that little extra something (mainly so I can go back and beat on a particularly pesky STi). However, for noise...

    Viper vs WRX STi (surprising outcome)

    I was up at Sacramento Raceway last night for the Sep11 Grudge Night drags, driving my wife's '03 SRT/10 Viper on drag radials, and while there ran into a very clean white WRX STi and got to chatting with its owner. He turned out to have a turbo conversion, engine management system, upgraded...

    Free to a good home: '01 RT/10 OEM spark plug wires

    Free to a good home: \'01 RT/10 OEM spark plug wires Cleaning out the garage today, and found my original spark plug wires from my '01 RT/10. They had about 2000 miles on them when they were replaced with Magnecors, and are now 3.5 years old and in perfect condition. Yours for the price of...

    Another note on the K&N intake

    Like many, I received a pre-correction K&N intake complete with "the whistle". I noticed that the car didn't seem any faster after installing the intake (understandable, it's hard to feel the difference between 475 and 485 RWHP) though it didn't feel any slower either, and that it tended to...

    I'm thinking snails...

    I\'m thinking snails... Yes, it's a new year and a new IPO, and time for Treynor to start thinking about new car projects. This time I'm thinking snails :laugh: More details as the plan comes together. And yes, this means that The Beast is for sale. If you ever wanted a turnkey 1200HP...

    HERVIPR hits the dragstrip again: 11.66, 11.69 @ 122

    Yep, I grabbed Liz's '03 SRT/10 and headed back to the dragstrip for grudge night yesterday. I had installed Purner's 18" wheel / BFG g-force drag radial setup on the rears, and was ready to go lay down some numbers. Upon arrival I set the rear tires to 18 PSI and the fronts to 33 PSI. Runs...

    Fun at the dragstrip today: 11.76 , 11.82 @ 122,

    I borrowed's Liz's SRT/10 for a spin at the dragstrip today. Her car still has the stock run-flats on it, and I was going to get up and put on our new Purner drag wheels (more on that later), but at 6AM I decided I'd rather sleep an extra hour and give it a go with the stock tires. So off to...

    I got served !!

    So I was having a great day of racing today. It was one of those gorgeous NorCal spring days, sunny and in the low 80s. I took my DLM RT/10 out to Sacramento Raceway on BFG drag radials (345/30-18 on Purner 18x13 wheels) instead of my usual ET streets/skinnies, purely on a lark. My first run...

    Ho hum... 1005 RWHP SAE

    Drove my DLM Viper through the rain today to do a little dyno pull now that those nasty cats are off. Seems to be running OK... It's making pretty decent power on blower too. Doug certainly was sandbagging when he said he was "detuning" it :cool: Video coming shortly.

    Roof DLM runs 9.93 @ 151 on blower

    Folks - Dr Roof just ran his first pass this morning down at the V10 nationals. The result: 9.93 @ 151 !! This was blower only, no nitrous, on ET streets. Gad. (maybe he can do a little better after some practice :laugh: )

    Review: Windbaffle

    OK, I know everyone's sick of the advertising for this product. This isn't an ad, however, it's a user review from yours truly. Bob was good enough to send me one of the Wind Baffles to try out, and I dutifully strapped it on Liz's SRT/10 and took it for an extended drive (I know, I know, it's...

    FS: Unopened NX bottle heater

    After my old NOS bottle heater failed, I ordered the top-of-the-line, bottle-pressure-controlled NX heating kit for my 1200HP Viper. Unfortunately, I ordered the wrong size -- the standard kit is part 15940 and uses the standard D-4 Nitrous line size. My car actually has the D-6 lines (heh)...

    NX heater blanket on NOS bottle

    Hola all, So my old NOS heater blanket has given up the ghost, and I'm eyeing the new spiffy Nitrous Express heating system with a bottle pressure solenoid. I was curious whether there is any issue using this system on a NOS 15# bottle? Also, if anyone knows a good NX dealer please pop me a...

    How NOT to drive your 900HP Viper...

    Perhaps I shouldn't be advertising my mistakes, but I made an amusing video of some of my poorer runs at the 'strip last night. As anyone who races stick will tell you, there are a lot of bad / missed runs which go along with the good runs, and unfortunately I'm not exempt from that rule. Of...

    DOUG LEVIN LIED TO ME !!!

    He promised to detune my Viper (to make it more streetable)... said it was going to be tamer... said it was only going to run 12-13 PSI of boost. This evening I was out for a leisurely spin in the yellow beast, and really got on it for the first time in quite a while. The weather has cooled...
