Well...not sure this matters, but...Summer of 2005 I picked up my 2001 Yellow GTS one owner with 7700 miles bone stock for $55700.00. Fast forward 10+ years for what you are offering....not sure anything around $50k is going to be in the market. But you just never know!!
How much coin for that Drag Pac manifold? I have the GEN-IV heads and everything else....including a lower GEN-IV manifold. If they offered a single TB upper manifold for the GEN-IV lower, that would be sweet. I guess I could fabricate a single TB upper fairly easily...not that I need to...
I read a thread on the SRT Ram forum on the GEN-IV build a guy did on his GEN-III SRT Ram truck. GG ported GEN-IV heads flowed 427.5 vs. stock GEN-IV at 330. WOW. But even the stock GEN-IV flow amazingly well up to .600 in lift.
http://forums.viperclub.org/threads/650480-Which-Cylinder-heads-are-the-best This is a pretty funny and amusing retread thread. I thought someone had posted a spreadsheet/comparison across all heads out there at one time. I can never find it when I need it.
Good question. Not a lot of folks willing to mess around with that much swapping of parts. A no kidding straight-up swap of top end GG ported GEN-III vs. GEN-IV on the identical engine with before/after numbers would be nice to see too. I guess unrealistic all things considered. I'll have a...
GEN-IV heads out of the box > GG ported GEN-III. And they are a better designed head as well. And its not all about flow numbers either. Port velocity, swirl, quench characteristics, injector location, etcetera and so forth. You can get high flowing heads that are counter productive to your...
"with more money to do with than I could imagined while married...." and you are quibbling over this BIG decision on a '96 B/W GTS for $30K? OK...we've seen it before. You are smack dab in the middle of this being sold out from under you by a less tentative buyer....and then all we'll hear...
What are your goals for it? Just drive it around? Wild build? I see it as a no-lose situation. If you just want to drive it around....the mileage is moot. If you want to do a big build, you have to go into the engine anyways so mileage is moot.
Never updated my experiment....the QC10WEP plugs shattered after a few spirited driving events. Didn't evidently hurt anything, but the ceramic insulators all cracked. So back to the tried, trusted, and true copper core NGK split fires.
My 2001 has/had the same issues...and I've had my entire front end off several times and what not. But that can be adjusted out pretty easily. I won't let the dealer/retailer touch it since they'd just mess it up fumbling around trying different things; unless is a well known Viper dealer. If...
No pics but I painted mine race yellow to match my body color and supercharger tubes. Not too difficult. Prep the valve covers by scuffing, sanding, degreasing, etcetera like anything else you would paint. Use a 2-part epoxy primer followed by 2-part single stage urethane enamel in the color...
I was going to try hitting Test and Tune at Bradenton on a regular basis but I could never get a read from the track regarding the need for their 'required' safety gear if running 11.5 or faster. Poor excuse but I wasn't making the drive without answers up front. Dan Lesser is moving to the...
"Be safe out there"....is that ever an understatement. If you guys could read the daily Intel reporting covering the region...wow. I think some international media outlets keep up on the reporting, but it sure doesn't make the US nightly news. Not politically expedient anymore.
Ummmm...I guess I can spill the beans. I think my current set-up is limited by the OEM GEN-II heads and blower size. I have been contemplating options but all along I'm led back to the GEN-IV heads as the current superior choice pretty much short of Strykers. ANd if I recall correctly, the...
For comparison's sake, what's the other door look like in the same area? My bad...I see the pics ARE of the drivers lower and passenger lower edges. Hummm. Well, seeing as they are both the same, it might just be what it is.
I know there are many sets out there from folks upgrading to various header options. But I'm accumulating parts for my next project :nono: and need to track down a set of stock exhaust manifolds for my GEN-IV heads. PM me with what'cha got.
Cheers

A couple of things.
1. The tube that goes nowhere and the one with the rubber elbow can be clipped, run together with an adapter, and plumbed to the small vacuum port under the ROE tube just behind that driver's side throttle body. That way, you get vacuum for the charcoal filter/evaporation...
You mean the tube/hose connection from the airbox to the throttle bodies? THe ROE intake tubes use whatever throttle bodies you have....stock or larger. Many folks put larger (3") connections from the airbox to the throttle bodies. This is no big deal. You can get silicon connectors of all...
Hopefully when I get back from deployment in 12 months it will be out there with many user experiences provided. I just drove mine yesterday and was imagining a drive with a sequential shifter. I gotta have one at some point.
I agree the shifting action will be extremely precise, but I was more thinking along the lines of the stresses introduced in the shift forks simply through the speed of the shift. Remember these forks will now go from static to rapid movement a lot faster than a normal shift. IF they are...
