    Striker heads/cam VERY happy

    Just to clairify, the Striker heads are not hand ported, they are CNC ported. Jeff offers a "Street" and a "Race" version of the head. According to Jeff, one of the major design goals of the head, was to improve the coolant flow, and to reduce or eliminate area's where steam pockets can form...

    Striker heads/cam VERY happy

    One thing to point out, that IMO makes that Striker heads the only ported heads to consider, is how much they affect the engine cooling efficiency. We've been working of these cars for over fifteen years, this is the ONLY mod I've seen, that dramatically lowers the engine operating temp. -...

    SCT Flash Programers... Tuned, tested and in stock...

    The programmer holds up to three programs in addition to the back-up of your original pcm program, so four total. The same programmer will work on Gen II and Gen III, but only one vehicle at a time. It "VIN locks" to the vehicle unless you re-install the original program that was read by the...

    Hand Held Programmers available soon

    At this time, you will have to send the programmer back to us for updating. Hopefully soon, SCT will get their LiveLoad program working for the DCX programmer. This utility allows an end user to upload calibrations to their handheld via e-mail, thumb drive, etc, without having the tuning...

    SCT Flash Programers... Tuned, tested and in stock...

    This is the same product that Dan and I were talking about. Diablosport, another handheld programmer / custom tuning software manufacture, is supposed to be testing their tuner with a Viper this week. They already have it working for the LX vehicle line (300C, SRT8, etc)...

    OBD II quirks

    I was under the impression that we were talking about Vipers. As far as NGC goes, I really don't know, but for JTEC the test runs with start up, and with the older SBEC3, SBEC3+, etc, the test runs when you shut the car off, thats the only point I was trying to make.

    OBD II quirks

    Sorry, you are incorrect. To paraphrase DCX service bulletin 25-02-98 : Front wheel drive vehicles (SBEC) heater monitor will run when the key is turned off and open throttle timers have elapsed. Rear wheel drive vehicles (JTEC) heater monitor requires a cold start. The test will only run...

    OBD II quirks

    GTS Bruce, I understand what your are saying about the evap test, to be honest, I hardly ever let the car run that test by itself. Did you know that you can force the car to run the evap and purge flow OBD test together with the DRB? When I'm doing a smog repair, and checking all of the OBD...

    OBD II quirks

    I should clarify something, I have never seen one pass, but the car does not fail either. The OBD2 "heater monitor" test just never runs. Of the many vehicles I've seen with downstream sim's, it's always been the same. Remember also, that if you were to take your vehicle into a smog test...

    OBD II quirks

    I have never seen a Viper with O2 sim's pass the O2 heater tests. The ecu sends a biased voltage through the signal wire on start up, and as the sensor warms up the resistance drops thus the voltage drops, this is how the pcm checks to see if the heater is up to spec. With the sim's, as soon as...

    New hand held programmers on the way

    I've been told that the Diablo handheld for the Viper will be out towards the end of this year. I think they are focusing on the Hemi vehicles right now. - Chris www.dcperformance.com

    Hand Held Programmers

    SCT is supposed to be releasing these next week. Diablo should be soon to follow, at least for HEMI powered vehicles. I don't know about the Challenger, but I would imagine they will support it in the future. - Chris www.dcperformance.com

    Finally got it tuned @ DC Performance Today

    I see Russ, you are saying that the AEM will allow the car to make another twenty horse power, correct? This car was tuned for maximum power, the engine did not want any more ignition timing, so what would the AEM provide that would make this twenty horse power difference? Not that I’m a AEM...

    Finally got it tuned @ DC Performance Today

    Actually, the car was tuned with the factory pcm. If you look closely towards the end of the video, as the camera pans, you will see a opened factory pcm with some wires and other things attached to it.

    Annoying surging problem

    I believe the surging you are describing is the result of the pcm moving the mixture back and fourth. This can happen on stock vehicles, but is usually most noticeable on vehicles that have headers, and / or larger than stock camshafts. As most people who have put a decent wideband on there...

    Advice needed. repair,reflash,replace? 97 pcm

    Well, what's the problem with your pcm ? - Chris www.dcperformanceinc.com

    dyno numbers........the king lives

    Often when I see dips in the power curve , it's from the pcm pulling timing due to knock. If you have access to a pc logging tool, such as the one sold by EASE at www.obd2.com, or www.autoenginuity.com you could log knock retard against engine rpm and see if that was happening. Both of these...

    JD, the right price for you would have been for us to practically give it to you for free. so far in this thread you are the only one who looks like a bad person, not any of us here.

    JD, it's one item. that is on national backorder. that is being sold for under dealer cost. the self-hatred that is spewing from your keyboard is tiresome. crawl back into your hole and stay off this discussion thread.

    JD, i'm sure most of your posts consisted of the same worthless nonsense you have been posting in this thread. if you don't want to buy it, then mind your own business and stay out of this discussion. if an item is for sale, then only the interested parties in buying said item need to post...

    >>>> Brand New GenII Trans For Sale <<<<

    JD, we're not trying to sell it at list price. you've already proven that we are selling for almost half of list price. and that we are selling for less than dealer cost. you have no useful information or constructive comments, so go somewhere else. i don't know why you can't take a...

    >>>> Brand New GenII Trans For Sale <<<<

    JD, So the final answer to all of your jabs and mean spirited remarks is that we are selling the trans for $300 LESS than dealer cost and $2700 LESS than list price. to me, that sounds very fair for the buyer. a brand spanking new trans for $300 less than dealer cost with the shipping...

    i've lurked on here for years and it always seemed funny to me how the most innocent of posts will turn ugly so quickly. i always found them amusing (vipair comes to mind) until it was MY thread that was overrun with negative comments!
