    looking for forged pistons 3.995/4.000

    I am looking to purchase a set of forged pistons for my 488. The shop says my block looks good. I could probably go with stock size 3.995 piston/ 4.000 bore or go +.005 4.000piston/4.005 bore. 4 out of 10 of my old pistons have hairline cracks in the skirts. Not sure how that happened. Roe...

    Viper Parts of America charges restocking fee!

    Last week I ordered some parts from Viper Parts of America. One of the parts I ordered was a main bearing set .010 under for my GTS. I ordered it because it was on "closeout" and was about 1/2 of what I could get it from other internet sources. I went ahead and ordered a few gaskets at the...

    How do you certify date wheels for viperdays?

    Venom aerobumper facia info choices

    I am looking at changing the look of my 97 GTS. I like the look of the Henn*** Venom bumper, aerobumper, whatever you want to call it. Jonny's not making them anymore, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a nice alternative. The autoform splitter is interesting, but I haven't found one that...

    looking for bad apple in Monroe, Louisianna

    This guy took $880 from me off ebay for some NOS Hnssy headers. He might be on this forum, as his signature has a red/silver coupe on it. He's from Monroe, LA and is into high end car audio (alpine processors) as well as personal watercraft (he's currently selling an engine off a Seadoo). He...

    HRE wheel repair ?

    My front wheel just developed a 3" crack on inner barrel two days after ViperDays. Tire went flat in about 30 minutes. I sent the wheel to HRE. They need to replace the inner barrell (no duh) but also want to replace outer because of .030" runout. Is this a lot? Total cost of both barrels...

    1st time on track with '06 ZO6

    1st time on track with \'06 ZO6 Viperdays Texas World Speedway. LG motorsports had two yellow 06s there. Their best was 2:03 and 2:04. I ran a 2:02 in superstock (you know the rules). I do have front calipers on the rear now (my only mod), but ran identical times last fall (I'm still...

    cone brake duct info

    I am upgrading my car for next season, and am comparing different brake ducting scenarios. I've seen the archer system, and it looks clean, but expensive. I've never seen the cone brake duct kit, but the price looks decent. Can anyone post pictures, or direct me to a post with pictures. JonB...

    smashed hardtop to repair

    I've got a factory Mopar replacement fiberglass top for a gen II car, BARE NAKED. Outside is primer, inside is semigloss black. This top needs weatherstipping and latches, and maybe a headliner if you're picky. If you have a smashed top, I am willing to buy the hardware off of you to make...

    bad caliper?

    Just finished a session at TWS with new BM3s and rotors on front, and older (last spring) BM3s and rotors on rear. As always, my front right tire seems to be locking up prematurely. I also have 285s up front, and the seal is removed from prop valve. My friend put his g-tech meter in my car...

    Used HREs?

    I am getting tired of crappy 60' times when I go to the track, so I'm looking for some used 546 HREs to mount my 345-18 drag radials. The best deal would be to upgrade to some 19X13s so I could use my 18s for my drag radials, but I would probably have to spend at least $1000 each for new ones...

    60' time pilots

    60\' time pilots I just finished racing at the RSI V-10 Challenge with MVP products sponsoring the Supra challengers. I pulled off a 1.76 sec 60' time on my second pass. No wheel spin, slightly preloading the suspension against the line lock. My next best time was 1.84. Any other people able...

    carbon fiber clutch advice

    A fellow racer gave me an RPS aluminum flywheel with the carbon fiber inserts. Can I run this flywheel with a new, Dodge clutch (organic)or do I have to replace the inserts for steel? I plan on keeping future horsepower in the 500-550 range. I know the stock clutch is good for 600+ hp, but am...

    I've been running the 12.0 index for a couple of years now, but looking for more bragging rights and maybe fewer sandbaggers. How much power are you guys running to go 11.0, and how are you getting there? blower, nitrous or bolt-ons? How competitive are you with your current power level? thanks

    new engine management system

    There is an engine management system on ebay right now, buy it now for $750. It is a stand alone system, and supposedly fully programmable. None of the tuners are using this system, but it sounds like an alternative to the AEM system that is going to sell for $$$$, as opposed to $$$. This...

    dyno variations

    Just dyno'd my '97 GTS and was a little disappointed. This car did 429hp just before Thanksgiving in Dallas (Speedworks) but last weekend, it could only pull 414hp in SanAntonio at DynoTexRacing. Torque was down about the same, too.Most people thought DynoTex was fair, and I've seen a '97...
