    Cloudy, Scratched Headlights! How to polish them or do I?

    Try Wal Mart; my son and I did his non-Viper a couple years ago with a kit fro Wal Mart. I think the kit was $19.95, and included all the sand paper, and polish and sealant required. Later,

    New Brakes Question - 2000 Non Ebs Gts

    You can see I posted this back in 2005 after installing Tom's 40mm rear brakes. Since then, MANY sets have been installed on Vipers all across the country, with, I am sure, wit the same or better results (race tires, slicks)...

    Lunch with JonB – PartsRack

    What a delightful time; my wife and I had the privilege of having lunch with JonB and his assistant at a floating restaurant on the Columbia River. The day was beautiful, with not a cloud in the sky, and Mt. Hood, in all its majesty was in full view, and was just beautiful. We also visited his...

    skip shift gen 1

    I unplugged mine 7 years ago; no check engine light, or anything. Just unplug, cover well with tape, and go. The amber dash light will still function, but who cares, ignore it. Later,

    With a SAD heart, I must say goodbye to the Viper World

    All, It is with a sad heart,:mad: that I must say goodbye to 7 1/2 years of fun and enjoyment to the Viper World. I had a crash as a result of a right rear tire failure, and did so much damage that it is not feasible to fix it. The insurance company totalled the car, and I had the option to buy...

    Help! Sync Throttle Bodies???

    Have you oiled your air filters lately? Clean out the throttle bodies. Remove the air inlet tubes, and look inside the throttle bodies, possibly oily and dirty. Clean, and clean the shafts (WD40, contact cleaner,.....). Cured my pulsating, which was primarily at idle. Later,

    You guys are too much! I actually ordered mine before the link went up on the site, and so you all can argue who has #000000001, #000000002, #000000003, etc, etc, BUT in reality I have # -000000001. Oh well !! I'm sure we will all realize a plus from the mod, regardless of the number. Later,

    Stock head flow cfm?

    YES, my example starting with .500 CAM lift was a poor choice and should have been in the .350 +/- range for 1.6 ratio rocker arms. Was merely trying to show that the actual cam ground lift times the rocker arm ratio gives the valve lift. And measuring flow at valve lifts way past the...

    Stock head flow cfm?

    SquadX, You said: Remember the rocker arms are ratioed, such that the cam lift is multiplied by the ratio of the rocker to give valve lift. Simple example: Cam Lift = .500" Rocker arm ratio = 1.5 Valve lift = .500 x 1.5 = .750" or with 1.7 ratio rockers Valve lift = .500 x 1.7 = .850" Later,

    WOW, I didn't realize I have had mine installed since August, 2005 (invoice #8284); I guess when something (fan kit in this case) is working, one just takes it for granted. My kit is for 1992 - 1996 RT/10, not sure of any real difference for GEN II, except perhaps wire lengths. Yes to DIY...

    Stock head flow cfm?

    The answer to your question is in the form of a question: Are all flow benches the SAME? NO One flow bench relative to another flow bench has very little meaning. One flow bench relative to itself has significant meaning when making port/combustion chamber changes, valve size changes, valve...
