    Another trailer question

    Thousands of trailer miles and tons of track/race days here. I use both the winch and drive in. There are many reasons to use the winch to pull the car in and even let it out (unload). If I have help I will drive it up since its just faster. As to keeping the car in gear while its being...

    Clutch pedal on floor

    Put a heat shield between your headers and the clutch line. Then insulate the heck out of the clutch line also. Used to be a problem for me with the balanger headers. Not anymore. Would go to the floor regularly even with Motul 600 before I insulated it. Just too much heat in that area.

    For all of you guys with slammed vipers...help with jack or ramps

    Yes Race Ramps are what you want. My race car is very low and the front splitter Is a pain with even short inclines. Race ramps are over priced like someone said above but they do seem to last and get the job done well.

    Is it true? Gen I more reliable than Gen III?

    There are two aspects to the failures. First the pump, there isn't much you can do here and I haven't found any particular reason as to when they go. Obviously racing Slicks put a bit more load on the pump but I honestly don't think that causes it. The next area of failure is in the OEM line...

However I have replaced my pump and lines more then I want to say and just fill it get the engine up to full temp and turn the wheels back and forth. NOTE that you need to be certain not to over or underfill the fluid. Make certain it falls...

    Is it true? Gen I more reliable than Gen III?

    I can't speak to the reliability of a Gen1. I can however tell you that the Gen3 engine is a beast and extremely reliable on track WITH full on SLICKS! I race mine and its a track only (fully caged and race prep). My engine is completely stock other then exhaust bolt on. You do however need to...

    Loud noise from Cooling Fan?

    Your power steering pump (runs the fan) is either low on fluid or going bad. IMO I have replaced mine twice maybe three times (as most anyone who owns a Gen3). It's only heard when the fan runs and since that follows rpm speed (heat temps) to some degree it will rise with rpm. First mine would...

    Power steering pulley

    Technically you are not supposed to re use the wheel after it has been removed (according to the book) however I know for fact that it does just fine on even a racing environment. So I would be lead to think that the hole wasn't to the same specs as the OEM? Just a guess anyway.

    Catch can plumbing

    Not sure what Valve covers you have? I don't see a problem with having a T setup like that Saam. As long as the hose size is adequate that should be fine.

    Catch can plumbing

    Hey Sam , I have a system that each side vents into one can. The only thing they share is the overflow can. Near the bottom of this thread is the same setup I have. You will notice that two separate lines go from each valve cover into the vented can. It works great...

    Lap Timer Recommendations

    I use RLC Track Commander and it is awesome! It controls your GoPro and is way more reliable then anything you can get on your Iphone. However with anything this good it comes at a price. They cost near 1K and can be used as a data logger also. I have used this for well over 3 years now highly...

    sway bar end links removal?

    You are removing end links to replace coil over shocks like motons or something? If so there is no need at all. Just lift the whole front of the car up (both sides) unbolt shocks and done. If I have the question wrong then my apologies

    Odd ? about track days & overcoming cornering fears

    No, on the headphones or Radio.. Learn to love that sound of those Squeels, chirps. Always tell yourself "squealing doesnt mean im leaving the track". Take your time and fear is a good healthy thing to have when learning to drive a Viper on track. I found the best way to learn cornering (for...

    ACR-X Brake and Aero Upgrade

    Absolutely flawless! Brakes seem to last longer and no fade even after a 30+ minute session. I feel more confident standing the car on its nose now then I ever did. Only drawback is that the brakes can take an extra lap or so to heat up because the cooling. I still continue to drink Blue Moon so...

    Trouble w/ JTS Venom Performance Power Steering Hose Replacement Parts

    I sent you a PM and would be happy to help you with the install. I took a few pictures last night so I can email them to you to help. Its just time consuming but not anything you couldnt do yourself if you can turn a wrench. This setup is GREAT and worth the time involved to fix this long term...

    Trouble w/ JTS Venom Performance Power Steering Hose Replacement Parts

    I recently installed them on my Viper and didn't need crowfoot tools? I was able to do the install with normal wrenches/sockets. Yes you have to zip tie one or two spots so there is no area of contact with the fan but to me thats no big deal. I love the setup and the install was pretty smooth...

    New cat back system coming out soon

    There was very little difference in either sound or power without the Cats. Its not to say there was no difference but just not a lot. HOWEVER--My car shoots flames and that gets folks attention on the track LOL. Here if you watch this Video in HD for about the first minute you can enjoy some...

    New cat back system coming out soon

    Compared to the Stock would be hard for me to even recall. Its been many moons since my Viper had the Stock exhaust on it :D Im not sure I would be able to compare apples to apples for you on an OEM exhaust install using Vipairs setup. I have Balanger Headers and no Cats on my car so there will...
