    Traction Control System Involved in faster times?

    I'm definitely going to get my traction control programmed in the spring. Like most everything else related to the tuning game, the key is having someone do it who knows exactly what they're doing. Otherwise you pull too much power, and while you may keep traction, you're a lot slower than you...

    Traction Control System Involved in faster times?

    Chad's obviously not talking, but given that the car has an AEM, which has both boost control and traction control features, you can draw your own conclusions. My guess is yes on the boost control and maybe not on the t/c. If the boost control is programmed well they may not need t/c.

    Pic - New Viper Coupe in Road and Track Magazine

    Well, if that's it, I don't think a lot of us will be dumping our GTS's to buy one. In fact, an SRT with a quality hardtop would look better and you'd still have the convertible when you wanted it.

    Chad, thanks for making me spend some money . Off to Heffner

    I gather the 750 rwhp option is out the window? :D

    Hey what risk--the seller spun the black thing on the end and it spins well. No risk at all. :rolleyes:

    Very Important To Have Your Air/Fuel Ratio Verified Post Modifications

    Jack, this is from the AEM user manual: So it appears to me you can use O2 feedback at WOT so long as you're using wideband O2 sensors. As far as I know, this function is applicable to the Viper unit, although I don't know whether anyone has actually done so, or if not, why not. I'm told WOT...

    Hey buddy you better worry about keeping that yellow airplane of yours on the ground! :) Adam, anytime--you know I've got some things I need to fabricate. Will your MIG welder fit in your trunk? :)

    Very Important To Have Your Air/Fuel Ratio Verified Post Modifications

    I'm not sure what some of that meant, but if you're trying to say you can't tune the AEM to dynamically seek a particular a/f ratio for a given circumstance, I think you're mistaken. The AEM has an O2 feedback tuning parameter that you can activate and do exactly that.

    It already exists but it's called AEM.

    2001 engine upgrade

    Dave, I'm sure your intentions are good as would be most of your advice for someone who didn't know anything about these issues, but I already knew all that and it's not that simple. The car didn't ping all the time. It would do it occasionally, barely audible, at WOT high rpm only. I am told...

    2001 engine upgrade

    Very true but in this case largely irrelevant. The problem with Viper cast pistons isn't so much that they're cast as it is the fact that they have very little material above the top ring land. DLM makes good power with some of its cast piston cars (although not nearly as much as its forged...

    2001 engine upgrade

    As a blanket statement, which this is, it's false, because it implies that forged pistons are more of an insurance policy "just to make sure" and that they don't frequently break, without reference to power output or boost levels. If you meant to say you can run a moderate shot or moderate...

    In search of traction

    BC, that's pretty much what I thought. I may drop the pressure a couple of pounds and see if it helps, or I might try the Kumhos just to see if there is any difference.

    The hell you say! I'll practice drifting before I'll do that. :D :D

    In search of traction

    Ward, I actually have a pair of the Kumhos in my basement that I bought just in case I found the BFG's too mushy in the cornering department. And they are mushy, but I'd be willing to live with that if they hooked like crazy. I can certainly swap them out and try the Kumhos, but could a tire...

    Bump. Any other ideas short of a cannister of VHT in the hatch?

    In search of traction

    I'm running BFG's right now at around 25 psi on the street. This is great weather for making power (yesterday the high was around 50 with no humidity), but even with the BFG's I'm severely traction limited in 1st, 2nd and to a lesser extent 3rd, although by 3rd it's starting to hook pretty good...

    Roe Racing !

    You're a heck of a lot closer to RR than Mbn is.

    Congrats John Race! 838rwhp and 838rwtq

    I'm guessing there may be a Paxton on this one. Or possibly a mild TT setup.

    Congrats Vern Hill! 704/949rwhp - 717/1000+rwtq

    What did you change for the higher pull Larry--little more juice? Congrats!

    What is boost creep?

    The short answer is you will probably be ok with going to the 8 lb pulley, even though you may well experience some boost creep without really being aware of it. Boost creep is largely why the hp gains are not proportional to the torque gains when going from the 5 to the 8, and also why you...

    Just installed my HID Xenon head lights....

    Tony, the ones I got were supposedly made to work with a projector beam housing (they were the same kit as for a Denali, which has a very similar housing as the Viper), and they seem to work pretty well to me. They are certainly much brighter than stock, although they're more whitish than...
