    SRT 10s DYNO Charts

    A couple of comments regarding your dyno results. First, with a 12% driveline loss, your horsepower at the flywheel would be 489.27, not 482.22. Your torque would be 543.35. With a 15% driveline loss, your horsepower would be 506.54 and your torque would be 562.52. My guess is that the 12%...

    Does the Comp Coupe have firmer bushings for better handling?

    Comp Coupe has spherical bearings in the control arms rather than rubber bushings on the SRT.

    Are SRT spring rates on rear the same as the Comp Coupe?

    Comp Coupe "Hypercoil" spring rates are 1100 front and 1500 rear. They are 7" long and have a 2.25" inner diameter. Don't know what they are on the SRT.

    Lapping - Front Tire outer edge wear - suspension fix?

    Check that there are no mechanical issues with your front suspension. You can get this kind of unusual tire wear if you have a bad hub/bearing assembly (very common for Vipers after certain periods of track use, especially if you like to hit the apex and corner exit curbing), or if you have a...

    Where can I buy an 04 Dodge Truck at Invoice?

    If you want the truck to tow your Viper, I'd recommend the 3500 non-duelie, 2WD, quad cab, and forget the HO option on the TD.

    Mopar Performance Parts for SRT-10's

    Re: Mopar Performance Parts for SRT-10\'s The brake rotors and calipers on the SRT-10 and the Comp Coupe are identical. Why not use the race pad from the Comp Coupe? The pads are identical for both front and rear calipers. Part #04898012AA in the Comp Coupe spare parts catalog. Price is...

    New CC tires

    In my above post I erroneously said that Peter from PVO made changes to the Motec to correct for non-stock tire diameters. I should have said that it was Matt from PVO, not Peter. Apparently Matt is the expert and can help clear up this discussion. Matt, please respond if you read this thread.

    How High Is Your State Property Tax On Your Viper???

    Arizona - $1,344 on a 2003 SRT-10 for 2003. The annual "lieu tax" goes down each year thereafter to reflect a scheduled depreciation in car value. Car tax very high in AZ, however real property taxes are relatively low at a rate equal to 1% of assessed value, which usually approximates 1/2% of...

    2003 Brake Pads

    The Mintex race pads on the Competition Coupe are $205 per axle set. That means $410 total for all 4 wheels. The same pad is used on both front and rear. Don't confuse these pads with the others quoted above. Use Motul brake fluid for the track. It works fine on the street as well. The...

    2003 Brake Pads

    The brake package on your SRT-10 is identical to that on the Competition Coupe except for the pads. The Competition Coupe uses a Mintex race pad that can be purchased from Tom Francis at Viper Headquarters/Evernham Motorsports. The pads are awesome and will last as many as 4 or 5 race weekends...

    New CC tires

    Thanks for the return post Bob. I was under the impression that the Motec does not self-adjust for the new rear tire diameter. Jimmy McCann told me that Peter from PVO reprogrammed the McCann cars for the Toyo tires. At the Road America event, they reprogrammed their Motecs and I did not...

    Brake rotors/Brake pads

    Warren, you are absolutely right on the money. Even if you get the new rotors properly installed, if you screw up the brake bleeding process and leave air in the lines, you can have a catastrophic brake failure the first time you hit the brake pedal and it goes clear to the floor. I hereby...

    Brake rotors/Brake pads

    Russ M.....Listen to that wily 'ole Woodhouse. He knows what he says and says what he knows. I think you barking up the wrong tree if you are looking for any noticeable performance gain. If your rotors and pads are as bad as you say they may be, I would also assume your brake fluid looks...

    New CC tires

    I have spoken to Bobby Archer, Jeff Speers of Hoosier, and John Purner. They have all confirmed that Hoosier will no longer be making the slicks that we ran on last year. Apparently this is being done to relieve some of the challenges that Bobby had in having to bring so many different types...

    CC's dominate Phoenix race weekend

    Re: CC\'s dominate Phoenix race weekend The new brake pads were put on before the race and were awesome from start to finish. I haven't inspected them after the race, but my guess is they had another 3 or 4 hours left on them. The VRL compound Hoosiers, while not a very "grippy" tire were...

    FISHING FOR TIRES

    Jerry, if you have a brand new set of the "A" compound tires, Hoosier wants them back. They will have UPS deliver a new set of "VRL" compound tires and pick up the A's. Your contact at Hoosier is Jeff Speer at 574-784-3152. They were happy to take mine back. I experienced no problems whatsoever.

    Large Hole Above Wheel Well... Tom Francis?

    Tom, installation of the new fuel sender unit appears to be a rather laborious process and one that will require some professional help. Does the warranty cover repair costs, or are we on our own? Also, it creates a hardship having to send in the old sender unit before we get the new one. I...

    Spark Plug Wires' Options?

    Re: Spark Plug Wires\' Options? Don't waste your money. GTS-R's and Competition Coupes use stock plug wires.
