    What do you think a 2001 GTS will be worth in 5 years

    I would say high 40's to low 50's in 5 years. Keep in mind inflation, $50K 5 years from now is like $45K today.

    Upgraded rear axle??

    Anyone know if there is a stronger rear axle? Isn't the Gen II a super dana 44? and isn't the dana 44 used in Vettes? I would think there would be some hardened gears and internals that someone makes I remember talking to JonB (partsrack) some time ago and he said Unitrax had a micro polished...

    How long did it take to get used to the sound??

    As the others have said get a new cat back, I like the Corsa. Once you get use to the sound, all the V8's will sound like just another car Your never going to get a V10 to sound like a V8 so don't even try, but you can get the V10 to sound very mean

    More plug troubles.. Cat EXTREAMLY hot!

    MM even though you checked the wires, I think you have two wires swapped. In my manual the wires DO NOT line up correctly with the coil pack on the car don't know if I was reading it wrong or not, but I swapped 2 wires and it was doing EXACTLY what your car is doing. You could try pulling one...

    95 dyno results and some questions......

    If you want to check my web site below I list many Gen I's including mods. Your rwhp seems in line with others that I have listed. And as you speculated adding headers & exhaust will bring the rwhp near stock Gen II numbers. 1994 RT/10 Borla headers and exhaust 406/486 1994 RT/10 K&N filters...

    Will this NOS kit fit in my viper?

    You would need a fuel enrichment module, WOT position switch, nitrous nozzles (2), bottle holder brackets (don't see any), re-calibrate the RPM switch to work on a Viper and some short nitrous lines for the plumbing to the throttle bodies. If your going to use a wet kit you will also need a fuel...

    Corrected RWHP?

    Normally when you dyno they give you a sheet that shows actual (uncorrected) and SAE corrected. If you didn't get both I don't think there is any way to tell. Most people that want to check the improvement with mods will go by the corrected HP.

    TOP SPEED IN 4TH GEAR IF I GO WITH 3.55'S?

    Re: TOP SPEED IN 4TH GEAR IF I GO WITH 3.55\'S? One thing to also think about is that 135 trap will equal 140+ actual speed. The trap is the average of the last 60 or 120 feet (depending on the track) so you will run out of gear with 3.55's

    New header/ exhaust install problems

    wilddude DO NOT wrap anything inside the side sills IT MAY catch on fire. There are a couple reasons not to wrap the headers. Biggest being it may destroy your finish, stick to the headers, can't be removed, may cause your headers to crack from excessive heat retention, and after a while it...

    Bring on the Hayabusa!!!!!!

    Bikes are fast. I ran a couple, the fastest being a ZX-11 which was very fast. I remember doing some calculations a while ago and figured a Viper would need ~800rwhp to take a busa from a roll.

    Calling all Dyno Experts - Negative Power?

    From what I recall the real loss was 11.5% so your 435 = 491.5 still very strong. That also means the cars are NOT that overrated like everyone thinks. 450HP=398 to the wheels, stock vipers are typically 400-410 to the wheels.

    New header/ exhaust install problems

    You can try a header blanket p/n 893-14003 from jegs.com $76 (pair) I've use them for almost a year now and 15,000 miles, no problems. Just don't use header wrap, not good.

    Best sounding Viper

    If you think the 3" Corsa with no cats is loud then you should try the Belanger exhaust, you don't know what loud is Anyway if you do what to tone it down some (sounds like you don't) get some R/T cats from partsrack. They sound great & tone down the noise, have fun

    Big Block chevy conversion

    That sounds like a good idea, the BBC is an excellent motor to make big power with. But unless you do all the work yourself I would think it's going to be more expensive than the V-10. Why not just go with a hemi? you can buy a 500+ CI hemi direct from Mopar, very reasonable prices too.

    Autotap

    I have AutoTap it works on a Viper but seems kind of flaky. Gets disconnected for no reason at times You could try Roe Racing, they sell something similar (for all I know it's the same thing) I just would recommend something other than AutoTap if you can find it.

    Roadster V. Coupe (friendly family discussion)

    Well if I had an RT/10 I would never take to top off. I don't like convertibles & roadsters myself (I like the RT/10 style but it's the no roof part I don't like) So if I was to never take the top off, why get the RT/10? makes the choice easy. As far as style goes, I like the RT/10 separate...

    What did I do wrong?

    When closing the hood press down on the center just in front of the window to settle the two rear latches into their slots. Then close the hood from the front by pressing down over top of the underhood supports. Look under the hood while it's up to see where these supports are. As to your...
