    Knock Sensor?

    Anyone know if the 97 engine has a knock sensor. I'm running 14:1 A/F mixture, and I'm a little worried about getting on it too much without a knock sensor. Thanks.

    New Exhaust - Cats or no Cats?

    Lose the cats - sound is improved, get some cool flames and a nice power bump. I guess you could try out some of the pricey high flow cats if you are really finicky about the smell (I don't notice it) or noise. I think if you look hard, you may find a distributor throwing in a free skirt with...

    330 Eats Creampuff

    Yesterday the road course at Willow Springs (aka "The Fastest Track in the West") was witness to empirical proof of the creaminess of the '00-01 creampuffs. Several Vipers gathered for a track day with the Impala club (Verrrrrry nice attitude and lots of track time), along with various other...

    Got SMOKED by a Gixxer

    I was coming home from work Saturday night, and as I sat at a light, I saw a motorcycle coming up fast behind. He pulled into the empty lane next to me, and out of the corner of my eye I saw it was a Blue/White Suzuki GSXR. Well, even if it was a 10 year old GSXR, I knew I'd be in trouble. In...

    Dyno Question

    The dyno will not care what your rear end is. In fact, it will give a read out of your rpm/mph. I dyno'ed mine with 3.55 gears and it was not a problem.

    What's up with TNT exhaust?

    What\'s up with TNT exhaust? Can anyone share their impressions of the TNT cat-back exhaust? I don't understand why the exhaust system costs $1,500 MORE than a Borla set up. Doesn't TNT use Dynomax mufflers or the equivalent, to avoid the Borla drone? If that is the case, why not just get a...

    Best differential ratio for weekend driver.

    I would recommend the 3.54/3.55 set up as a happy medium. I had them installed about two months ago, and I am pleased with the improved seat of the pants feel (I also think that it will help 1/4 et's by raising the average hp and tq during the 1/4 mile run, but haven't had a chance to test that...

    No cats with stock resonators?

    After experiencing the power of a cat-free Gen II this weekend (thanks Paul) I've decided to pull my cats. However, if I do this before switching over to the Borla, or comparable, system, what will the effect be on the stock resonators? Will the removal of the cats fry the stock resonators or...

    What's the scoop on supercharging?

    What\'s the scoop on supercharging? Before dropping a chunk of change on any big time mods, I was wondering about the supercharging path. Anyone with any experience as to the cost, driveability, problems, advantages of supercharging the Viper? Like everything else with the Viper, I assume it...

    Question about rear muffler replacement

    I'm thinking about removing the rear muffler and replacing it with straight pipes - snake oyl or generic - question is, in removing the rear muffler, is it a clamp that needs to be removed, or does the muffler have to be cut off? Thanks.

    Anyone know wheel lug pattern/size?

    Anyone know the precise wheel lug pattern/size for their Viper? As best I can tell, it's 6" x 4 1/2". Anyone know whether this is correct, or better yet, if a mass produced after-market rim comes in this pattern? Thanks.

    Question re: Drag Rims

    I'm looking for a set of rear 10" rims with the proper offset for use with drag slicks on my 97 GTS. Would the fronts from a Gen I or Gen II work? Also, all the new/used rims I've seen for sale are more than $1000. This seems high, especially when you can get a set of GM rallye's with a...
