    Crower Stroker Kit?

    I know this was briefly mentioned in a different post awhile back, but figured I'd make a new post about it to bring it to everyone's attention. Is anyone running the Crower stroker kit? It sounds like a pretty good deal, 512cid for $8-10k, provided all the components are high-quality. If...

    Do you have this Viper article???

    I seem to recall R&T or someone doing a test in the early '90's with a Vector W8 vs. Viper vs. ZR-1. Anybody have that scanned into their computer? I'd just be interested in taking another look at it. Chris

    Gen I Power Limits?

    Hi, guys, It seems like all the real big-hp cars are Gen II's. So what is the limiting factor on the Gen I's, or is it just easier to start with a Gen II? I remember Gary's Gen I DLM car put down 787 hp at the wheels on pump gas - how much higher can you go (safely) on a Gen I? Thanks. Chris

    Gen I vs. Gen II nitrous

    Hi, guys, What is the difference in the amount of nitrous a Gen I can handle vs. a Gen II? I understand that the later Gen II's with cast pistons cannot handle as large a shot, but what about the Gen I's vs. Gen II's with forged pistons? Any personal experience would be great - Tom, Albert...

    Gen. I vs. II

    Hi, guys, (I read through the archives but couldn't find any specific answers to my questions.) The time is close at hand when I finally get my Viper. I plan on using this as a weekend toy only and just keeping my Jeep as my daily driver. I do not plan on ever driving it in the rain, and...

    Quickest Naturally Aspirated Viper

    Just a thought, but if he went to the extent of adding an auto tranny, he may have also done extensive weight reduction too. Chris

    Gear Ratio?

    Hi, guys, Just had a question for those of you running big power and traps over 140. What gear ratio do you run? Anything lower than 3.07 would have you shifting into fifth before the end of the quarter right? Which would be better: running 3.07's and topping out in fourth in the quarter, or...

    New Tranny?

    Hi, guys, Judging purely from a strength standpoint, which tranny would be able to stand up to the most horsepower and torque: T56, Richmond 5 or 6 speed, or the SVSI Jericho-built 5 speed? Thanks. Chris

    N2O Question for Mr. Welch and Others

    I was looking at the BTR website and saw the new 300+ hp 2-stage nitrous system that's available now. I have a couple questions: 1. Is this a progressive shot, like one that starts at, say, 100 or something and then ramps up smoothly to 300, or is it more like starting at 150 but then switches...

    Lenco Trans...

    Anyone have any experience with swapping a planetary trans, like a Lenco, into a Viper? I know the Hisser runs one, but anyone else? Also, can a planetary trans be downshifted? I'd like to be able to still run my car on the street. Thanks. Chris

    For those with 16" ET Streets...

    For those with 16\" ET Streets... Is it necessary to modify the brakes to fit 16" wheels, or do they fit completely stock? Thanks. Chris

    Best 60' Times with Stock Rearend??

    Best 60\' Times with Stock Rearend?? Hey, guys, Just wondering what the quickest 60' times are with the stock independent rear. I just read that SW is pulling down 1.4x's on his stock chassis C5. Any Vipers out there with similar power numbers to SW's Z07 getting 60's like that? Albert...

    DIY Supercharger??

    Hey, guys, I'd heard someone mention on this board a couple weeks back that someone (Paxton or Vortech, I think) was working on a do-it-yourself supercharger for the Viper. Anyone have any further info on this? Thanks. Chris

    New question: GTS vs. RT/10

    I read the last string of messages about GTS vs. RT/10, and now understand the advantages of each. I have two questions: (1) At what speed does the better drag coefficient of the GTS become a significant advantage over the RT/10. (2) How much structural rigidity is lost in the RT/10 body vs...

    Hemi for Viper?

    Hi, guys, I'm considering buying a high-mileage Viper I've found in my area, if I can get a decent price on it, at the end of the summer. I was wanting to build it up primarily for dragracing. Has anyone dropped a Mopar V8 into a Viper yet? What advantages would rebuilding the V10 have over...
