What is your goal? Do you track the car? Are you looking to drag race the car?
I have a rather extensive all-motor build on my car. What you do really should depend on what your vision is for the car.
Here is the link to the hypercoat extreme page:
High Performance Coatings, Inc.
Call them. This is not a spray paint, the parts have to be dipped at their shop. You ship the headers to them, they coat them, and send them back. Takes about a week.
The coating is available in black or...
A couple of things about headers:
Not long after header install, you will notice that your gear shift suddenly becomes VERY hard to get into reverse, and overall gear shifting is difficult. This is because your wiring on the O2 sensor has gotten too close to the headers, the insulation...
Another important piece of the equation is how linear the rates are. My experience with the stock springs is that the spring rates rise dramatically as the springs are compressed. On a rough road, this can lead to a feel of "bottoming out" on bumps and a very bouncy ride.
I have springs with...
It was a lot of fun.
The outer course is really a good one for a Viper, and hauling down the front straight was a real rush. My best lap times of the day was when I was chasing a Porsche GT3. It was good to follow him, as I was able to match his line, and also got a feel for how fast I...
I have a crank case vent system on my car.
A hose from each of the valve covers leads to a catch can with an air filter on top.
(Pictures below.)
The good news is that I find very little oil in the catch can. The bad news is that when I'm running the car hard (like today at the track) oil...
How do you do a controlled burn out? (Serious question) I've never done a burn-out on purpose, and whenever I do spin the tires, I get launched forward at the end. Seems like I would just go flying past the starting lights.
I'm pretty sure that the conditions include not having modified/replaced just about everything on your car other than the frame. (which means I probablly wouldn't qualify)
I hit a bump and the light came on. The scan tool (which the dealer charged me $100 to use) said it was a ground fault in the passenger side seat sensor (that tells the computer whether there is someone sitting in the passenger seat.) I still haven't got around to getting it fixed. The dealer...
There is a SCCA time trials event at Miller Motorsports Park on August 22-23
It's on the outer loop course which should be fast and fun for Vipers.
I'm signed up for Saturday the 22nd.

Mark Williams makes some Viper half shafts. They are pretty much bullet proof.

I too have beefed up the drive line of my car, with a carbon fiber drive shaft, Quaiffe diff, upgraded transmission, and Mark Williams half shafts. The weak link for me now is...
They are definitely stickier than the V700's or PS Cups, which are the only comparable tires I've used. After 1 track day (five 20-minute sessions), they are holding up well, and don't look abused. (actually, they don't look too bad at all.) The wear so far is very good compared with what I'm...
I ran on 18 inch SSR wheels and Kumho V710's today. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the V710's (kept me sticking to the track when I thought I should be sliding,) and the SSR wheels shave a lot of weight off of the car.
We ran the East track. It was a lot of fun. My first time at MMP ever, and my first time at any track in over a year. What an amazing playground for cars.
I did the newbie orientation in the morning, and got in 5 sessions. I broke something in my brake system on the fifth and last...
