    Dyno Pull for the 2002 GTS

    Stock Gen2's put down a about 400hp dynojet SAE. Forget about the % drivetrain loss... 450hp flywheel - 400 = 50hp flat drivetrain loss for a stock to bolt-on car. Ive heard people claim 60hp loss but the math dosnt add up to me. (unless dodge under-rated our motor by 10hp...:) ) My 1997 GTS...

    Is Steve Prescott and Vipair Performance Parts a Scam or going out of business?!?

    Recently Vipair has offered his new: - AERO exhaust system for Vipers - and his new Alden(Vipair) Shocks. I have followed both of those threads and it seemed like everyone was receiving their products and was happy with them. So to answer the OP's question: No, I do not think Steve...

    what's up with the price of wheels?

    6 lug, 13 inches wide 12" is more of a standard for Big wheels, I dont think many mess with making the 13" barrels since only a few cars run em. Also, if they do there is a higher tooling cost/overhead since much less quantity of wheels are produced. Im i reading this correctly? It sounds...

    Does anyone have a recomendation for a mini polisher/buffer?

    If you just need something for small touchups like targeting a small imperfection then just go with the drill attachment for a 3" pad. However, with the small stuff sometimes its better to just do it by hand so you can better target/isolate the imperfection. If your looking to do the whole...

    noisy brakes

    Not normal IMO. I have run two of the common aftermarket street pads for vipers (Hawk HPS, and EBC Red) and neither of them sequel or make any noise. I do properly bed-in my new pads to the rotors though, and drive aggressively enough to maintain the transfer layer. Also, I go to meets...

    Proper Downshifting in the GenV

    Heal-Toe downshifting is about getting in the appropriate gear prior to entering a turn so that you do not upset the car mid-turn by playing with the clutch. IMO Heel-Toe'ing is mainly for the track where you are threshold braking. Also can be used on the street for situations like spirited...

    Woodhouse First Edition

    +1 , I was blown away. Venom red was just a gimmicky name for an ok color IMO. There is no gimmik about STRYKER:)

    What fuel brand and fuel additives?

    His(and most others) standard package is three tunes 91/93/94 so you have one for each of the common available hi-oct. fuels. IMO, your better off running the tune for whatever fuel you can get and not worrying about pouring any extra crap in the tank. Consider this too: On my 97GTS...

    Motor tune.

    Yes. Most 96-99 will not throw a code when you pull the cats. I can leave mine in or ziptie em to the frame and no cel. There is no way of knowing if there is a tune that i know of. Could be: none(stock), a flash like sct, or reprogramed factory. All will look the same to you. One way to...

    Value of Stoptech or ACR front 2 piece rotors?

    Rotors dont need to match. Two-piece is more important for the front where the majority of the braking&heat is generated. I'd rock the mismatch. Lol You shouldnt have a prob getting rid of em though
