Nice!!

Are you running any type of headers?

My (American Racing) :usa: BBG ACR-X five into one merge headers are bing built as we speak. My plan is to have a ACR-X "clone" whithout the cage and fuel cell. I am also getting my heads & upper/lower intake done by BBG to help out in the H.P. dept. Then it's gonna be a OS Giken w/ 3:33 or 3:55's in the rear and probably one of the sweat BBG clutch setups Toddy has. Hey, you only live once so might as well go for it!:2tu:

The exhaust and porting are going to add a ton of HP. The giken is a great upgrade too! Not sure about which tracks you go to, gears are great on the street but can hurt on the track with too much shifting. Take a look at a gear calculator chart to figure out what will work on your tracks. Also, going to 335/30/18's will change your 3.07's to 3.21. Keep us posted on your build. Mike

I think I am actually going to get a second rear differential so I can go back and forth as needed. Not that I plan on pulling it out very often but it just seems like the best option for me right now. I REALLY wish they had shortened 5th gear a year earlier. :rolleyes: I don't know how I'll have fun at Road America and then run at MAM or Hastings with the same setup for gearing. I need to make some more phone calls and get some idea of where I need to be. My plan is to eventually come back out to the tracks I used to race on in California like Sears Point, Laguna Seca, Thunder Hill, Buttonwillow and of course Willow Springs (Big Track). It should be an eye opener going from 2 wheels/slicks & 160 H.P. to 4 wheels/Cups & 600 H.P. :crazy2:

Let us know when you come out to NorCal...If you need a place to store your car or park your tow rig while touring San Francisco or the Napa Valley we got you covered :2tu:

Enjoy your Viper, it sounds like it's going to be a total beast of a ride!

Cheers,
George

Great if you can have a back up diff too. A few guys out here have upgraded thier trans and have a new 5th gear, fairly reasonable pricing. Give us a heads up when you're coming to SCA, a number of great folks here. Willow is a good example for keeping the 3:07, w/3:55's you have to get intoo 5th 1/2 way down the front straight, w/3:07's (and mopar ECU) you can get to 165 before turn 1 braking.

Look us up out here and best wishes on your season! Mike

I want this exhaust, how much, where can I get these?


Contact Toddy Gomez @ Bad Boyzz Garage (916) 505-9026 Price is around $1000 with shipping.
You'll need to either be running the "Factory" ACR-X Headers or have some other way to adapt to the 3" pipe that connects to the elbo or cat if your running them.

How does it sound?


Just do a search on youtubube for ACR-X sound and it should help you make a decision. My car won't be back together till my heads @ intake get some love at Bad Boyzz Garage in Ca.

Keep in mind the ACR-X DO NOT RUN ANY CATS WHATSOEVER!! So if your planning on running them I can't help you out. Lastly those 3" straight through mufflers are only 13" long. That's more than 1/2 shorter than most other systems.

So are you one of the first to get the gen4 head work & intake from BBG?

Keep us posted on the pre to post dyno of the head & intake work.
Do you have a dyno just prior to this work? and if you get a post run, hopefully its on the same dyno.

What's the difference between the Borla ACR-X catback muffler setup you show & Borla SRT10 catback setup?

I'm not really sure how many others BBG has done to this point but I would say I am one of the 1st to do the whole BBG 700R package.

I am going to have my car on a Mustang MD-500 dyno this Friday to get my "Completely Stock" basline. Then I will send out my heads and intake to BBG for the machine work/blueprinting and porting. I plan on starting a new thread about the project from start to finish probably this comming weekend.

As for the difference in Borla's systems I could not tell you. The ACR-X racing series spec kit I purchased was a "new system" to satisfy the track db requirements and still make the H.P & TQ they were looking for during testing on the gen 4.

That will be an informative post.

It sounds like the ACR-X Borla is "toned down" on sound db then?

All I know is they have quite a bit more bark than the stock SRT/ACR system. I will have video in my upcomming thread so you'll be able to hear my before & after. :2tu:
