    Suggestion for cam?

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm a weirdo like you that drives it everywhere daily. I guess it makes sense that it would buck at low rpms considering everyone comments on the lumpy idle sound of a cammed car. I'll have to give this some thought

    Suggestion for cam?

    I have a 2005 and I am thinking about doing a cam on it. The car currently has Belanger headers, HF cats, and 3" catback, a BBK throttle body, 170 degree thermostat, and a tune from Torrie at Unleashed tuning. Any suggestions on where I can get a cam for it? I think if doing the cam, I'd have to...

    replacing ac condenser?

    I did resolve the issue. We replaced the condenser and the O rings at the fittings on the condenser. We had run a dye through the ac system that showed the condenser was leaking so I was pretty sure that was the cause.

    replacing ac condenser?

    We put some dye in the system and it showed at the side of the condenser where the cooling fins meet the edge.

    replacing ac condenser?

    My air conditioning started to give out and I have found I need to replace the condenser. Has anyone replaced this and if so, do you have any tips or things to watch for? Looking at it with my tech it seems like it might be able to lift out pretty easily but I thought I'd ask before we get...

    OBD monitoring app?

    I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with apps that monitor the signal from an obd reader. I borrowed a bluetooth obd reader and installed an app called Torque Lite (seemed fitting) on my phone. It will display various readings/gauges like water temp, rpm, vehicle speed. It will also...

    Exhaust on a 2003 SRT10

    I put the full Belanger 3" system (headers, hf cats, cat-back) on my 2005 this summer. It eliminated the crossover section. The temperature is better in the cockpit and the sills are cooler now. There is some drone at low rpms, but this can be managed by changing the gear you're in. Under...

    Aftermarket exhaust question

    Thanks for the feedback. Did you find a big difference in how loud it is? And, did you go for the 2.5 or 3"?

    Aftermarket exhaust question

    Did you have to do anything to the car when you added the headers and cats? I just ordered the Belanger system and I believe it should just bolt on however I have also heard people say it would need a tune as well. Did yours just bolt on or did it get anything else done as well? Also, did you...

    Aftermarket exhaust question

    Thanks for the info. Now that it has gotten a little warmer I'm finding myself much more interested in cooling down the exhaust.

    Aftermarket exhaust question

    I'm looking for some feedback about exhaust options. I'm pretty happy with the exhaust sound on my 2005. It has a nice rumble and burbles and pops when decelerating. what I would like is a cooler temperature in the car. If the car sounds a bit louder that's a bonus. From experience, have...

    New owner looking for tires

    I am very happy to say that I have just joined the ranks and picked up a 2005 Viper with only 5,000kms (I'm in Canada, that's only 3,100 miles). The car is in great shape, but the tires are original so I need to change them. I have tried my tire suppliers that I use for my business with no...

    Help finding article

    I was wondering if anyone could help me find a link to an article about torque vs. horsepower? I came across it on this board quite a while ago and have since lost it on my computer. As I recall, there was a link to a discussion about torque using corvette (sorry, not viper) engines. If...

    anyone know when vipers will be on speedvision?

    I remember seeing a while ago a post about some Vipers being featured on speedvision. The program was American Muscle Car, I believe, but I do not remember the time. If anyone knows, please post or e-mail me at [email protected]. Thanks

    What rear-end ratio to use?

    From Jon B: "When we sell aluminum flywheels, we WARN you that you will lose 0-30 mph speed, but increase 20-120mph acceleration. We also suggest a 3.55 to re-gain this. A great choice." Why is it that with the aluminum flywheels that your 0-30 will suffer? If the engine can spin quicker, why...

    Color vote 2001

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but if your viper is in D status, you most likely can't change the color at this point. Whatever was originally ordered is going to be what you get. But look at it this way: whatever color you get, you'll have the best looking and performing car on the road.

    Pressure Washer?

    For best results when washing your cars, do pressure washers work better than just a nozzle on a garden hose? Also, does anybody know what the maximum safe pressure is for paint? I wouldn't want to use a pressure washer and spray the paint off.
