    I am in for the Hot ROD shoot-out with Tom Welch and Paolo!

    David, I might just have to Have Jason Heffner drive my car for the magazine deal. I have to see if he is available. I am sure consistency will be very important since it is the average of 3 runs. I am glad you and Tom got in! Maybe we can do a 3-wide highway roll on after the competition. That...

    Should I go back to the 3.07 gear??

    I would go back to the 3.07. You will have one less shift. Shifting hard into 5th with a lot of power is not good for the trans. Besides, 3.55 X .74 = 2.627. This is a lower multiplication factor than 3.07 X 1.0 that goes to 150 MPH. There is also something to be said for 5th gear not being as...

    New Drag radials 390-40-17??

    Keith, super great idea but 29.5" is waaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy too tall I have gotten a 28.5"tall slick in there just barely and it rubbed all over the rear quarter panels/fiberglass poertion of the wheel wells. Not to mention you would have the equivalent of a 2.73 rear end gear with that tall of a tire.

    I just watched the Ultimate Street Car Challenge 3 DVD!

    Jay you are most certainly correct! ==> That was only my second burnout ever! The first one was in a DC GTS at the Illinios Viper Club/DC executives autocross a couple years ago( I thought Herb Helbig was foing to kill me!) Nadine is certainly the burnout queen who's better than the...

    I just watched the Ultimate Street Car Challenge 3 DVD!

    Go Fast For Life: Thanks for the post! The dyno #'s they quoted were from the 2nd run. I made 850.8 RWHP on the 3rd pull. All dyno pulls were through the full factory catalytic converters to boot. They told me afterwards they only count the 1st 2 pulls. No biggie though. It was definitely very...

    Firing on at least 7 of 10 cylinders anyway

    Dion, aren't you the guy who took someone for a ride they won for some charity event and you turned on the nitrous and they shilt their pants? I think that was you and that was very funny! Whether it is or is not you, congrats on your comeback and hope you get the new V-10 monster soon! Paolo

    18" Kumhos

    Re: 18\" Kumhos Nadine, the 18" V700's only come in a 285 width. Besides they are only a W rated tire (168 MPH) is too slow for you!

    New clutch. What do I go with ?

    One advantage of the twin disc clutch nobody has mentioned so far is that with the two discs, there is much less shock and load on the driveline. Sure, the stock clutch can hold the power pretty well, but the way the twin discs sequentially engage, sharing the load, this means your trans, rear...

    Rough shifting when cold

    SB, I doubt it. It looks like the red ATF they used to put in there. THis is really a question for your dealer service manager to answer. Some are cool, some are a-holes. ==> Stay away from the a-holes! :2tu:

    Should I winter drive my Viper??

    00Prowler: I say hit it if there is no salt on the road. You just need to be smoother than you are in normal temperatures. I had my car out yesterday and it was a blast! Me and three Viper friends got pulled over by NINE cops. No tickets of course== > It was the other three Vipers...

    Rough shifting when cold

    Barry, I have switched to Redline D4 ATF and have ZERO grinding when it is 20-30 degrees outside. It just goes right in like when it is 90 degrees outside. Bobby Archer uses it in all the cars that run at the track and has had zero failures. Bobby sells all the redline oils. I believe the...

    A sad story with a happy ending...Merry Christmas

    Cudaman, losing a pet is like losing a mamber of the family. I am sorry to hear about Alaska. Echo looks beautiful and will be a great pet. I have a blue-eyed dalmatian, Wee-Wee dots. She is 8 years old and comes with me every single day in the truck. Unlike your wolf dog, when it's cold, she...

    Is any one in the market for a set of triple chromed 97 gts rims and tires

    DOnzi, I was not aware of that, besides, I had seen KingSnake97's wheels before they were chromed. I had also never seen a 1997 with the dull cast wheels up to this point so far.

    The Ultimate Tuner Challenge:Jason H. vs Doug L.

    Re: The Ultimate Tuner Challenge:JH vs DL Gerald, you are correct, I had about 40 more RWHP and David had about 40 more RWTQ. His belt was slipping, I was running a bigger, lower boost pulley. I guess the only way to resolve the situation would be to run one more time in Florida Roof with a...
