    Doing Some Work To My Garage Walls-Suggestions?

    Rest of the garage is pretty boring (epoxy floors rock!), but I did do this painting years ago:

    Fascia alignment

    IIRC when I had my facia off years ago (the two center nuts holding it on are a serious beeyatch to get to - luckily for me I have tiny hands which helped a lot) there is not a lot of up-and-down play. The main adjustment seemed to be in-and-out via shims like other body panels on the car.

    Question About Unbolting Injectors-'98 RT/10

    To be safe that there is zero fuel pressure, simply bleed the shrader valve that is on the top-inside of the passenger side of the intake manifold once the car is off and you are ready to get started. That is connected directly to the fuel passage so opening the valve (like you are letting air...

    Gen 4; 5th and 6th gear upgrade and ported intake feedback

    There is a thread about it by DC on the Performance Forum: http://forums.viperclub.org/performance-modifications/634547-gen-4-ported-intake-manifold-results-24rwhp.html

    Question About Unbolting Injectors-'98 RT/10

    You might get a slight movement from the injector if there is any spring left in the o-rings, but the metal hold down tab is surprisingly low tech. If you remove the injectors, do all new o-rings.

    Gen 4; 5th and 6th gear upgrade and ported intake feedback

    I think he means he got 25 hp from this round of mods - not the gears. Doing the shorter 5th and 6th along with 3.55s gives the Viper the gearing it SHOULD have come with (like the ZR-1 has), i.e. nice even steps all the way to 200 mph. In a standing mile race I would think the shorter 5th would...

    Anyone Painted the inside of there Rotors?

    Same here. I actually coated the whole rotor - inside and out - then cut the powder coat of the friction sruface. Hats still look great but the coating ont he edge of the rotors turned color from heat.

    What is top NA HP these days?

    A recent thread on the Gen III/IV board asked whether 700 rwhp was possible without boost. There were some knowledgable comments before the thread deteriorated: http://forums.viperclub.org/srt10-srt10-coupe-discussions/634105-n-motor-build-700-rwhp.html I think the end answer was yes - but...

    I'm "one of them." Sorta: a black wheel D-Bag. Yikes.

    Or as my girlfriend says when we see a car with solid black wheels: "Ewww, that looks like a NASCAR!"

    Adding 2010 5th and 6th Gears to '08

    Shorter 5th AND 6th gears for the older T-56 version of the trans are available from Rockland Gear in New York. Fantastic modification. With shorter rear end gears it gives a Viper the gearing it SHOULD have come with from the factory (I have never understood why Vettes have better gearing than...

    For the record: by black wheels I meant solid black one-piece wheels, not three-piece wheels with polished rims and black centers.

    2 Piece slotted and dimpled rotors

    Baer Brakes is the only outfit making two-piece rotors for the stock Gen II fitment. Buy them from Jon B. I would imagine they could do holes for an extra charge.

    Sign me up for the Heffner twin turbo Audi R8 please. That intercooler is so factory clean looking.

    I'm "one of them." Sorta: a black wheel D-Bag. Yikes.

    I've always disliked black wheels and the black wheel craze. A car with black wheels always made me think a old accountant from New Jersey who is retired in Florida now and wears black socks and dress shoes with his plaid Bermuda shorts. Ick. But then I put OEM six-spokes on my 1998 GTS and...

    Hey Dan - little bump to give you an opportunity to give us any updates on SRT-8 boost apps. 600hp?

    N/A Motor Build - 700 rwhp???

    I know this board is not a big fan of his (and I am neutral), but I've seen engine dyno charts for Fat Albert engines at 488 cubes make 800 hp so although not the mainstream, you might reach out to him as with a 15% drivetrain loss that would be 680 rwhp. Just sayin'

    unique paint job

    Sorry but having a good buddy who is in the airbrush illustration business (he specializes in guitars) that is horrible work. On the level of a t-shirt painter on Venice beach. Here are some examples of bud's work: Chris Compston

    Finished winter refresh toady: painted calipers/added 6-spoke wheels on GTS (PICS)

    Re: Finished winter refresh toady: painted calipers/added 6-spoke wheels on GTS (PICS In case you care where that idea came from, as I was investigating the car after I got it I found that the HID conversion on the fog was a horrible mess with the socket and bulbs held on my tie-wraps and...

    06 coupe vs C6 Z06

    For a data point, I have a bolt-on mod Gen II that is probably a bit quicker than a stock Gen III and one night by my house on a very safe street I lined up with a Z06. We left turned into the situation and he went well before me. Once I hit it the gap stayed even or was shortened slightly past...

    Water Deionization System for Car Wash

    I used soft water treated old-school: with a salt-style softener. Huge difference on the time I have to dry (which is big inthe desert heat). What is deionization supposed to get you?

    11.08 @ 132.7 in the ACR and run against a GT-R

    [EDIT] DANG! DID NOT PAY ATTENTION YOU WERE RESPONDING TO SOMEONE ELSE [EDIT] Rear end gearing. 5th and 6th have nothing to do with quarter mile drags. Now if you are talking about a standing mile, then the shorter 5th and 6th ratios would be HUGE given the ridiculous gearing our cars come with.

    11.08 @ 132.7 in the ACR and run against a GT-R

    Viper k recently made this post over on the Gen II board: Of course when you are talking about very fast cars a need to shift from 4th to 5th before the quarter mile would change the equation, but assuming the run could be done in 4th it does not make any sense shorter gearing would not help.

    11.08 @ 132.7 in the ACR and run against a GT-R

    I sheared teatheoff my input shaft years ago so my T-56 needed to be rebuilt. I found a great guy in town to do it for $1500 + $500 for R&R. At the same time he did the .80 5th and .64 6th for an extra $1000. That makes it sound like a $2k mod from scratch inthe modern day. But wow is it an...
