    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    Good to know. You must have really big flowing heads and aggressive cam to get those numbers. Who did your heads and cam? For drag racing, I've never done the track in Roswell since the one here is less than five miles from my house but used to go to Arroyo Seco for track day events.

    97 B/W GTS or 2002 FE or 2010 Coupe/ACR

    I love your ride too. :2tu: Unfortunately for me, only one is in the cards for now. I sold my 09 Coupe and got mama a new kitchen and landscaping. That's all I'm going to say about that.

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    I'm thinking I've met you before. Didn't you have a shop on White Sands that specialized in Dodge Stealth/Mitsubishi 3000 cars? I think I stopped by on one my trips to Holloman AFB when I was TDY there from ABQ.

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    Thanks for reminding me. I'm getting the oil changed and emissions tested so I can license it. And then I need to get it dynoed (after a few hundred miles-it cam from sea level and I'm at 5,000 ft) as my baseline. If I had to guess, I would say it's at 450RWHP.

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    So, if you knew that you might go with a Paxton AFTER the heads/cam upgrade what would, I do differently if I didn't see a blower in my future?

    What's my next upgrade if my 'new to me' 01

    Mostly street (90%) with an occasional track event. My SCCA regional license is out of date and I'm sure it's expired. Occasionally, I will go to the drag strip but not really serious. It's a blast but I'm not going to invest in drag radials, etc. I may do a track event once or twice a year but...

    97 B/W GTS or 2002 FE or 2010 Coupe/ACR

    I have owned several Gen IIs and an 2009 SRT Coupe. Hands down the Gen IV inspires more confidence, better fitment (how about aligning the hood/headlights/fascia/door seam on a Gen II?), world class braking, and on and on. But styling there is no comparison - Gen II coupe wins.

    Oh no, my GTS is ugly!

    Plus there are enough crazy f*cks that would just as soon take out their pistol and shoot you dead. So I kinda like Roffey's approach.

    MGW Sapphire Gas Cap Wanted

    Dammit! Thanks for checking though. I've actually been looking for several months when I started looking for an 01 Sapphire GTS with no luck. I might luck out in the next few months.

    black gts wanted

    I don't think black was offered in 02. Graphite, yellow and red were the offerings if my memory hasn't failed me.

    MGW Sapphire Gas Cap Wanted

    MGW no longer makes any of their gas caps in one year colors. So no graphite, sapphire, steel gray, etc. The only colors they have are red, yellow and viper blue. And no viper blue will not do!

    Le Mans GT-2 rear wing opinion

    Thanks for the offer but I've decided to keep it on. Actually save some $ by keeping it - and it's a pretty good looking wing. It's the 01 Sapphire ACR Bernie at Viper Exchange had for sale. You can check out the car in the 'sold' area. It'll be my third 01 Sapphire GTS and my second ACR.

    Le Mans GT-2 rear wing opinion

    I have been warned about this and why I should I should leave it on. I'm not crazy about the look but I can certainly live with it. Will have to decide in a week or so.

    Le Mans GT-2 rear wing opinion

    If you were buying an 01 GTS that had this wing would you keep it on or take it off. Thanks in advance for your opinions.

    Car Nickname

    Didn't given my 02 Graphite a name, the 01 Sapphire was called "Sapphire" (original huh) and my 09 Black/Red is named "Scarlet"

    Has anyone had any problems with Hennessey Performance?

    Whats better Belanger headers or ACRX headers?

    Wow - my estimate of 75 HP was way too optimistic. Even with the ported intake, DC is consistently getting at least 20 RWHP. So maybe 50 HP is what you can expect. With that, you'll be close to 600 RWHP.

    Whats better Belanger headers or ACRX headers?

    I think even 10 HP with the addition of the Corsas to either the ACRx or Belanger headers is wishful thinking. I'm thinking 5-6 HP at best. We'll see what Dan says. So .... $1700 or so for even 10 HP is not a good return. But if you want a better fit and finish coming out your side pipes and a...
