Has anyone put a stutter box on a Viper ?
If so who makes one ?

I believe it helps you achieve more consistent lunches in drag racing. You set it to a specific rpm (say 5000) and, once activated, will not allow the motor to rev higher than 5000 rpm even though you floor the accelerator. This way you always launch at 5000 rpm, instead of sometimes at 4800 or 5200, etc. Your foot is never so steady that it'll hold the exact rpm. Especially if you stage first and your opponent is slow in staging. Plus, there's always the adrenaline rush.

Then does it allow higher RPM later in the run? Otherwise it's just a rev limiter, no?

The clutch switch will disengage the rev limiter so once you drop the clutch, you can run to the normal rev limit. The AEM does have a two step rev limiter.

Paul,

Ok! I get it now. Thanks for the clarification.

The AEM management system supplies this facility

 

[STUGOTS]

so almost like a torque converter?

No. Just think of it as a rev limiter just like your 6200 rpm limiter but lower and it goes away as soon as you leave the line.

The AEM does have this function and it works quite well. It allows you to limit rpm by cutting fuel, ignition or both.
