It started out as a level I, but the more I thought about it I did not want to worry about the cream puff pistons, then I thought as long as I am going that far I sure would like a little lope to the cam.. and then my eyes got bigger & I added everything... It has now grown to a Level III. I am not going to sell this one so I figured i would go ahead & bite the bullet & get it ALL done at once. I really wanted something in the 700 hp range, I think that would be a lot for the street. I wanted this engine as "bulletproof as I can get it"
I do not know what horse power I will end up with but I am sure Doug will do it right!

You'll love it!

A thousand horsepower DLM engine actually runs smoother and cleaner than a stock engine. You'll find that your Viper is very "drivable" as an every-day car. With DLM there's not such thing as too much H.P.!!!

Good luck...

Andy, I sort of know what you mean. My car is already scheduled for the fall with Doug @ DLM. But I have been without my car for over 4 weeks now while I am having my Vipersbyelite hood and racing facia installed. I'm very lonely! But you know what they say " Misery loves company"..LOL

:D

Can you say 1000hp?

Got a nice ring to it hasn't it?

Kinda nice to know you'll get no less mileage on the interstate off boost, and when you need to push it - there'll always be enough on tap to demand maximum respect. Best of both worlds.

Way to go! I wish I'd done the heavy hitter package like you guys. I went for a Level I and left with a Level I. NO regrets, I can upgrade this winter If I need. And I need I need I need I :) :) . This boost stuff is craaazy, it's like a drug!
