    Oil Change Question

    The local Dodge dealer where I live does not have a Viper tech, but the service department says they do oil changes for Vipers. I usually go to the Viper-tech dealership, but I have been very busy as of late and don't really have the time to make the 70 mile trip to Vegas. Thus, my question...

    SRT Viper Drifitng on TV now

    The "G4" channel has competitive drfiting on for the next hour. The SRT Viper driven by Hubbinette is in it, as well as the usual ricer imports. Just thought I would post if anyone was interested in seeing it. It's not exactly the most captivating of racing, but it is a bit different nonetheless.

    Chrome Smooth Tubes Installation Question

    I know the installation of the chrome smooth tubes is rather simple and straightforward. I believe all there really is to do is to remove the stock tubes and slide the silicone adapters on to the throttle bodies and airbox. However, I remember reading a while back that some type of lubricant or...
