    Region Forum for Chicago Area?

    I'm not finding a region forum that covers the Midwest, specifically Chicago area. I would like to get input from some local Viper owners for a performance shop to tune my '05 that has a new motor and the shop that did the work left me hanging on setup.

    Gen III to Gen IV Engine Build

    Thanks for the info Final GTS on the gen3 to gen4 swap. That is what I wanted to know. This is definitely not something I am looking at doing myself as I am not a mechanic. Was just curious if it was worth entertaining the idea. If it was roughly close to cost to rebuild my gen 3 motor I...

    Gen III to Gen IV Engine Build

    [I]Re: Gen III to Gen IV Engine Build Originally Posted by Bobpantax How does the cost of doing what you are doing compare to the cost of buying a new Gen IV engine and puting it in your car? CONSIDERABLE difference. Easily an extra 5-8K in parts, not including the computer or wiring. You...

    Parts Pornography

    Came across this in my search for info on Gen 3 engine builds. What ever came of this build? How has the motor performed since the build? Still together? In the process of building my motor now, but not sure on what internals and how far to go with it. Want durability, but also big HP and...

    Engine Rebuild in Chicago

    Nine Ball - You are the 2nd person who recommended SpeedInc. I guy I know who drag races a Camaro has his engine work done there. Are you familiar with their shop? Rather than have them do all the work are you suggesting sending it to a Viper specific builder?

    Engine Rebuild in Chicago

    On the track. No missed shift or anything that should have caused this. Was actually in a fairly low speed corner when it broke (probably 4500 rpm) so it is a hard one for me to swallow. I have since been informed that it could have been due to the fact that the oil pickup is fixed as opposed...

    Engine rebuild in Chicago

    I agree with what you are saying Final GTS; however, Arrow is a reputable company. In fact my last rebuild was warranty and that is who Dodge required me to have rebuild the engine. And yet here I am posting a note for any suggestions on another rebuild within a short period of time (in my...

    Engine rebuild in Chicago

    Just blew my motor this weekend and need to find someone local that knows the Gen3 motor, but won't cost me a ton. Any suggestions appreciated. Not sure what happened, but assume a couple cylinders spun a bearing (only because I had this exact same thing happen a couple years ago with this...

    DIY "KNG" Diffuser Blades Write Up

    I'd be interested in a set of four; however, I am looking to use them on my Gen3 as replacements for the mangled set I have now. Are these the same shape, size, mounting holes, etc as the OEM on Gen3's?

    Wheel Offsets

    Thanks for the feedback. So no overhang or gap in the wheel wells?

    Wheel Offsets

    I'm aware of the ebrake caliper clearance as these are 18" both front and back. I'm more concerned with any offset differences. Anyone know if the Gen2's offset is different than the Gen 3s?

    Wheel Offsets

    Anyone know what the wheel offset difference is between a Gen II and a Gen III is? If I run a set of Gen II's on my Gen III is there going to be tire sticking out of the wheel well, or vice versa, a gap between the edge of the wheel well and the tire?

    stainless steel brake lines

    Installing the StopTech SS lines on my Gen III. Anyone know the proper way for attaching the front lines to the electrical wire (assume this is speedo line??) that is affixed to the stock lines with plastic clips? Don't want to zip tie to the SS lines as it will eventually wear through it over...

    MIDWEST HPDE schedule

    I have never been to the Mid Ohio track so I went on their website to find out more info regarding some of the weekends listed here and it appears that the weekend dates are only for driving their Miatas or Toyotas or whatever and nothing for us to bring our Vipers to. I emailed them for more...

    Brake Fluid Life

    Great info everyone. Thanks for the insight. I do use Motul 600 and will be changing it more frequently now. Good to know how quickly this can become vapor soaked though (1-2 races). I admit I have waited longer than that in the past. I will definitely keep an eye on my pads as it makes...

    Brake Fluid Life

    Just curious, when brake fluid heats up from hard braking is the heat in the fluid being absorbed from the rotors, calipers and pads alone or is there also significant heat generated from the immense pressure being put on the fluid? If it is primarily from the brakes themselves is it logical to...

    Hawk HT-14 Track only pads

    Car will be trailered to the track. Are these good for both front and back or do most people go with something less aggressive for the rears? Also, if swapping my street pads for track days with a set of these should I be having the rotors turned between the swaps or is it ok to swap sets...

    Hawk HT-14 Track only pads

    Any one know anything about these pads? Looking for a set of pads to use with my stock rotors (05 SRT10) for track days and found these on sale. Figured they were on sale for a reason!

    Turbo vs Supercharger

    Really useful responses. Appears there are more dic* heads on this site than those willing to share their experience or knowledge.
