    SCT X4... Any Gains?

    I do not recommend them for anything driven on the street.

    SCT X4... Any Gains?

    I would not recommend UD Pulleys or those plugs for your application. A tune file for your application, be it as-is or with exhaust, no problem at all.

    Any Hellcat owners?

    IMO, the only way to go is a Viper & Trackhawk. They compliment each other, and have very little overlap aside from both being stupid fast in their own right. I would never, ever line a Viper up against a hawk unless its a well prepped and sorted not-stock car on a perfect road. The highway...

    Broken fan - What Now

    You would never want to do this. The blade is breaking apart, not just unbalanced.

    Broken fan - What Now

    Yes. The best route is always to replace the whole thing, but thats only if you can find one and not have it cost a fortune. I have tracked down and installed replacement blades before. It's not cheap, but its cheap... er. See what you can find first, it's always an option.

    Broken fan - What Now

    We can track down and replace your fan blade if it comes down to it. A pain in the ass for sure, but cheaper than a full replacement if you can find one.

    Help with a 97 GTS.. Crank no start

    Most likely, yes. But if that's the case I could tell within the first 60 seconds of the phone call without any extra screwing around.

    Help with a 97 GTS.. Crank no start

    Seems like this is getting more complicated than it needs to be at this point. Give me a shout and we can pinpoint the problem area before throwing parts at it.

    Gen 1 (94) Viper starting issues

    Your battery is bad and/or cable is loose. STOP JUMP STARTING IT or you are going to cost yourself a pair of control modules in the blink of an eye. FIND AND FIX THE PROBLEM. NEVER, EVER JUMP START A VIPER UNLESS YOU ARE STUCK ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD, and never, EVER use a wall-plug based jump...

    SCT X4... Any Gains?

    X4 is not for your car. You need to be dealing with an SCT dealer like us for Viper files, not SCT. And yes, there are decent gains, especially on 04-06 cars.

    Viper gts 1996 won’t start

    PCM is damaged. On early Gen-2, PCM design causes FP relay to actuate when in "Dead" condition [IE drivers are floating and uncontrolled], as the relay control is a ground path instead of isolated when the driver is in a floating state. Contact me for a PCM, that's your problem. I have 1996 in...

    Tony Spampinato

    Damn, this is very sad to hear. I saw a lot of his work and he was an absolute artist! Its rather depressing... the Viper market seems to have had an uptick in legacy vendors, techs, and owners passing away or going out of business the last few years. Godspeed Tony!

    Every Gen Viper tested........

    LOTS of misinformation there unfortunately, but overall entertaining.

    05 rods not fit 03 block

    WHOA, hold the phone. I never said anything about the crankshaft being in a different location. They are exactly the same! The only thing that changed from 03-04 is the clearance machine work done to the oil galleries and the oil line adapter integrated into the casting. The clearance work was...

    Gen 3 vs 4 blocks and cranks

    That is not clearanced at all. That is 04+ from the factory.

    Gen 3 vs 4 blocks and cranks

    Just match the appearance here. That gallery is not thin.

    Gen 3 vs 4 blocks and cranks

    I generally target 0.100" whenever possible. in some cases things can be squeaked closer, where inertial forces, component rocking and deflection arent really a concern. With regard to your problem, clearance your block galleries like an 04+ and move on with life.

    *** Lockout

    These clubs are a micro example of what happens when people get access to the cookie jar and try to find inorganic ways to funnel money into the coffers and keep control... kinda like our own government!

    Alright... come on now with the ridiculous word censoring!

    That was actual stars to prove a point. LOL Lets see... Heres another one. B.L.O.W. WHO CAME UP WITH THIS LIST? Punch them right in the face.

    Alright... come on now with the ridiculous word censoring!

    Literally nothing but the most obvious should be on that list. It should be what... 25 words long? Delete the rest, aint nobody got time for that.

    Alright... come on now with the ridiculous word censoring!

    Who came up with the censoring format on here? Half of the NORMAL everyday words are getting bleeped out! P.U.N.T.A.? Spanish for Point? Not even the same word as the one we are all thinking? S.C.R.E.W.? You know... the things that hold your car together? GET A GRIP AND FIX THIS NONSENSE...

    Gen 3 REVERSE LOCKOUT HELP!!!!

    Not only am I building that monstrosity around the corner from you... but I live in Port Charlotte, have your phone number in my phone, had those control modules on the shelf, and the diagnostic equipment needed to troubleshoot it in about 5 minutes LOL. OOOPS. You are lucky you actually got...

    Slow cooling fan

    While the fluid isnt the current problem, it will cause issues. They ******* up big time by mixing fluids. You are going to be flushing that system weekly for the next year if you want all of the wrong fluid out. Based on everything you are saying, I am guessing you have a partial break on one...

    Slow cooling fan

    1. I assume your Power Steering seems to be operating fine? 2. I assume you have no leaks in the system, and the installation appears to be done correctly? 3. I assume that there have been no changes in PCM programming at the same time this occurred? 4. Do you have a Check Engine Light? 5...

    Viper Tech, happy to help

    Haha, different Dan's! As posted above, I am in SWFL [Previously NY], and Dan Cragin is on the west coast. We both have similar specialties, backgrounds, etc. At least from my perspective, Dan Cragin has more experience in the Track Prep/Suspension/Brakes arena than I do, while I specialize...
