Apexi-SAFC installed on Viper
Great work by all! I still await something like the TTS and LT1edit software that has been available for the Corvette for literally years and years and allows direct changes to the fuel and timing maps at all load levels; then you simply re-flash the PCM. No splicing, heck you only plug into...- kverges

Should I do my own alignments?
Very nice! But I think I am relegated to string since it goes better with my stone knives and bearskins garage setup.- kverges

Should I do my own alignments?
OK, Dean-O If you don't use strings, how do you set toe? I would love to know a way to set toe on all four corners w/o strings. I just used the SmartString setup from the folks who came out with the SmartCamber tool, and I actually did not mind the strings at all. You mount the alignment...- kverges

Dealer Crashes Viper & Wants CUSTOMER To Pay!
The person operating the vehicle and damaging it has the PRIMARY responsibility to pay the resulting damages. Sure, the owner's insurance will pay due to uninsured/underinsured or other coverage, but it is very clearly not the owner's duty to get his insurance to pay. He may have to do so if...- kverges

Do members receive a copy of the VCA budget?
I am actually the Sec/Treasurer for my region and we DO publish our budget and inform everyone about what money we get and what we spend. As far as I know, there is no published VCA National budget. I do think there should be, and VCA may make money (nothing says it can't). But a club can be...- kverges

Can someone in Texas look at a Viper for me? Did I get a good deal??
In the sellers' defense, you BOUGHT that car when you went high bid. I use ebay a bit (I don't play the alias game and my ebay user name is the same as here, and the same as my real first initial and name, check me out) and have no complaints when you abide by what you say you'll do. I have...- kverges

Supercharger System Update, Programmable Fuel / Timing Control...
Does your engine management option have anything to do with this: http://www.perfectpower.com/Installations/viper.asp I was wondering if this might allow sufficient fuel and timing mapping to accommodate any kind of boost & fuel quality, but don't know if anyone has experience. Also, would...- kverges

"Viper deal miffs dealers"
Re: \"Viper deal miffs dealers\" With few exceptions, the dealer expereince is the WORST part of owning a Dodge.

There are three pieces per side and last time I priced them they seemed awfully expensive. I just hand cut from 3m film.- kverges

What ET & MPH did the Sean Roe Supercharged Viper run?
I assume this car had headers, throttle bodies, and exhaust, not just the S/C bolted on, but 130 is a healthy trap speed and sure makes spanking SRTs easy for less $- kverges

What ET and MPH did the SRT run in the drags?
If they don't break 120 in the 1/4 it is a sad, sad day for the Viper. Each GTS I have owned has done 118 no problem, and I would expect 50 hp, 100 lbs less weight, and better aero, to pull well into the 120s (like 122 at least). You don't need a great launch to pull high trap speeds; I often...- kverges

The other Spiderman Viper is on ebay
Is it just me or does anyone else think this car is way too gaudy to actually drive and in fact would rather have the regular car. Since the regular car can be had new for under $70K right now, I would think $78K is a great seller's price and would allow the seller to buy a regular Viper and...- kverges

Whose going to the Viperdays Finals at Texas World Speedway in Oct.???
I would think about it if I could drive, but I just don't have the time and $ to travel to the otherwise very remote VD events, so I doubt I am eligible. Been racing what I can afford, which is not Vipers. That thar's too tall cotton for me.- kverges

I need a rocker panel....
I might have one if you still need it; I just can't remember which side, but is is NOS with the heat shielding and so won't be cheap, but under $1800. Email me privately if you are interested. Keith [email protected]- kverges

Bobby Archer driving school
Gotta disagree with King. Many of these weekend events include instructors with Viper or other big power RWD experience. While driving a Viper is different from other cars, basic car control skills cross over and that's what you need to focus on first. In fact, some skills I have learned in...- kverges

Bobby Archer driving school
An alternative is The Drivers' Edge. Try www.thedriversedge.net for more info. This group will be at MSR the weekend after Labor Day and you do receive in-car instruction on every session until you are cleared to drive "solo." The instructor corps do not include anyone with Bobby's...- kverges

Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Problem With Headers on 2000 & Newer, Experiment Results
Nice fix; do you think the larger holes will affect any other sensor characteristics or longevity?

What does it mean when oil pressure stays at 60 instead of 40
Not to be smart, but it means your pressur is 60 psi. Pretty staqnge at hot idle, and I would wonder if the gauge is accurate, but nothing to worry about if th epressure is real.- kverges

Viper Racing Seats
I have to agree with Daddy-o. A real race seat is much deeper and more supportive and generally has a fixed back. They are never leather, because leather is too slippery (they may have suede in high wear locations). Finally, a top quality Sparco, Momo or other composite, FIA seat will be...- kverges

Technical question on sport shims, toe settings, tie rods-
On top of the torque to bust the nuts loose, the nuts are "self-locking" so cannot be turned by hand at any point (at least they can't on my Gen I car). I recommend a stubby box wrench for this task as the confines are pretty tight. Total waste of time until you have some decent seat time; in...- kverges
