    Drivers door wiring problem and fix.

    The real question is................. Did Dodge upgrade that wiring harness or are they still using inferior quality wires. The harness going through the door jamb is so tight and stretched hard at opening. When you close the door the harness gets kinked radically. The best way to solve the...

    Headers without Hi Flow cats?

    Stuntman, I have Striker Heads and the matching cam that was developed for those heads. Jeff Morys worked or works at Chrysler in the head shop. He developed those heads and they flat out work. He sold the company, from what I heard Chrysler felt there was a conflict of interest. Anyway when...

    Headers without Hi Flow cats?

    The Gen I and II have large OD main journals which are great from a strength stand point but bad from a lubrication stand point at high speed. The GTSR race motors of the day had reduced journal sizes. I'll pull up my graphs and post them, they are somewhere on the site from back about seven...

    Headers without Hi Flow cats?

    Stuntman, I like your charts. I wish I could overlay my dyno sheet over them. The only issue is that my sheet is RWHP, and those are crank numbers. My numbers exceed both torque as well as HP numbers on those graphs. Translated to crankshaft numbers my engine is producing roughly 667 HP and 668...

    Headers without Hi Flow cats?

    Sybil, I can't comment on your particular scenario because I really don't know the particulars of your car. Let's just say that stuffing those CAT's in the confines of the side sills is a bad design solution. Moving past that, the CAT's get super hot because they are actually doing their job...

    Headers without Hi Flow cats?

    Ron, I've noticed that a new generation of forum members has brought on plenty of misinformation. The factory intake and throttle bodies are not a restriction. The factory cats may kill a couple of horsepower, but it's negligible. The real issue is in in the design of the stock cylinder head. At...

    Almost Lost My ACR today :(

    Something no one's talking about. The probability that the car is not tuned right and is the root cause of the problem. When you can't do the job right, blame the symptom.

    This dude is crazy...

    Contrary to popular belief, the Gen II's time will come. Six figures may very well become a standard. Might be 10-15 yrs out. Just wait until parts start becoming scarce, and that may be sooner than you think..... as you start to see more and more abused cars on the road the mint cars will...

    Advice needed regarding compression ratio

    I can't comment on non Strikers, but assuming Jeff was trying to emulate a similar port and chamber design in his ported OEM heads (kind of a stretch). Based on those assumptions, compression will help you. Having said that, remember that stock castings aren't as robust and are known to have...

    All Differences between ACR & GTS?

    It's very simple to know if a car is legit. Get the VIN and go to a dealer (Dodge) and have them run it. Every detail of the car is there. Unlike the old days where so much of the info. was not available from the OEM's. ACR's will without a doubt in my mind become the most valuable Gen II's down...

    If it's a non comfort package car, it never had a stereo.

    All Differences between ACR & GTS?

    I'm sorry, maybe I'm being too vague. All Vipers regardless of type from as you say 1998 have tubular exhaust. This means ALL ACR's have the tubular exhaust headers. Not sure how else to say this. If that's difficult to understand I can show you pics in detail of my 2000 ACR"s exhaust.

    All Differences between ACR & GTS?

    I can tell you whatever you'd like to know about Gen II ACR's. I've had two. The only ACR specific engine difference was the front timing cover assembly. The ACR variant used a specific non by pass oil filter adapter. All other differences are based on model year Viper and carried into all...

    All Differences between ACR & GTS?

    All ACR's have "real tube headers", as well as every Viper built after they ditched the cast iron units.

    S1 T56 sequential shifter

    My thoughts exactly, my trans needs warm up time when I first start the car. I can only imagine, you would grenade the trans pretty easily.

    Gen1 ROE Dyno Results - 600RWHP

    This is an 8 yr old thread, maybe try pm'ing the owner. Try Dan Craigin, or at the very least get a Gen II bracket and see how they mount up. I'd see if the Gen II bracket works and if not just place the alternator where you think it'll fit and whip up a bracket. If you have fabrication skills...

    leaking struts in TA models

    Maybe the Ohlins or the Penske shocks are the ticket, I've never had experience with these shocks. I can tell you that even back when I had dirt bikes (mostly Kawasaki) I'd have to send the front shocks in because i'd blow the seals out. I do understand that an off-road environment is much more...

    leaking struts in TA models

    You said the magic words, "professional racing". Take your "professional race car" and see how long it lasts on the street. Leaky race shocks on the street are common. I've got Koni 2812's, and they have all leaked within 10,000 miles. The Dynamic shocks were notorious for leaking. I certainly...
