    GTS vs. ACR Suspension

    Nobody asked for it but somehow I feel compelled to give my opinion. I just finished reading all the above posts and it could be easy to follow some partially accurate info and not get much accomplished. If any of you want to know more about shocks and how they work, go to Amazon.com and order...

    Hello Nadine and others Regarding European Viper recall fixes by the Woodhouse team: Yes there has been discussion on this beginning at VOI7. No we have not made any final arrangements and do not know if this is 100% feasible at this time. The main reason is that D/C has not finalized their...

    NO BRAKES..........................

    I fear you are still waiting for a real answer and this subject has been covered extensively here. Do some looking in the archives using key words like "brake bias" "flat spotting" "front wheel lock-up". Second, yes it is pretty normal for a non-abs viper to lock the front wheels up. Removal...

    Questions about 1.7 rockers...

    1.7 Rockers give the Viper engine just under .040 inches of added lift at the valve. With 1.6 and the stock cam you are about 1/2 inch. So no, you do not notice much difference at idle if any. Remember the rocker will not change the timing event of the cam, ie: when it leaves and returns to...

    Brake Secrets of the Viper

    Due to the recent thread on brakes where there were over 60 posts, I thought this might be of some interest to many track-minded Viper owners. The photo here is the front brake assembly of my 96 GTS. We participate in the Skip Thomas Viper Racing League as #13, GT-1 spec. The brake system has...

    JRZ Shocks for 96 GTS

    Frank, Make sure you have 2.25" dia springs matched to the same dia seat (perch) or a 2.50" spring with appropriate seat, they could be mismatched. You might have helper springs. If so verify that you have an alignment collar between the helper and main spring. If all of this looks right...

    Corner Balancing

    Alas, some good and some misleading info in these posts. Unable to provide corrections at this time. So here's the short of it. If you do track events and anything has been done to your car, ie: springs changed, lowered, body damage etc, then have it checked. It is easy to check, most racers...

    Why do we have such bad brakes?

    Great Thread folks, if I am repeating myself here it is because I just screwed up a key stroke and my post evaporated. You tweaked my interest, a BRAKE_OFF huh. Sounds good. What are the objectives? Shortest stopping distance? Longest lasting under hard use? Least amount of pad wear...

    OVERBORE ADVICE ...please help

    Try taking a look at this from the other end. Find the piston you want to use and verify it will come in the size you need. If your block will clean at .020 then take a look at that. I don't think .030 is any concern however, double check my advice. If you are going for pistons, lighter is...

    question about PVO

    Performance Vehicle Operations is a new name for the hot rod corner of the D/C brand. Viper Team and some others have evolved to this. Also used to be known as Specialty Vehicle Ops I think. All of the performance models of each model such as the Intrepid R/T will be their resonsibility.

    Yikes Sam, This brake company you just bought has some of the better sorted out brakes on the market for a Viper, but you need to read up on them brakes my friend. To all my stock-brake Viper associates: DO NOT install a proportioning valve in your system. We will be sending your...

    Why do we have such bad brakes?

    Mike and Dave and all, you are getting warm here but the real reason our cars suffer in stopping distance: Brake balance front to rear. You are right, caliper size does not matter when referring to the ability to lock a wheel. The problem we have is that our brakes are designed with 80% of...
