    Need help fast

    Call Bellanger. They have had some issues, but I thought they were resolved. Do a search and you will find lots of post's about this. Also, who installed your exhaust. If its a shop, Id go back to them and see what they can do. I know theres what I believe is a solenoid for reverse lockout. Not...

    Power vs Gearing

    I dont think you will gain a half second or more with slicks on a N/A car at that power level. I think his car is good for mid 11's as it is, on street tires with a good launch. To get to 10.8/10.9, that would mean slicks net you .5-.7 tenths. I dont see it. Either way, with slicks you...

    About to pull the trigger on..

    Other then going over it or having a Viper mechanic look over it, you shouldnt have much to worry about. They are great cars, can take alot of abuse. id just look for signs of a repaint, accident or scratches. If it looks clean, price is right, then grab it and enjoy!!

    Getting paxton but want car louder. Should I delete cats?

    I think Id go that route. I went with hi flows, wasnt loud enough, so i went to NO cats. But now after a year, im starting to want cats back in. Its just too loud. One day i love it still, thennext i want quiet. It definately has a mean bark without cats and people know your coming, but my ears...

    Replacing decals

    Heres a pic with Black, carbon fiber lettering. sorry I dont have a closeup, but gives you a idea, how it makes the Viper lettering stand out, when its a different color then body color.

    Replacing decals

    I changed mine on my Copperhead to Black carbon fiber decals. Looks great against the Copperhead color. Then later I removed the SRT-10 emblems that were carbon fiber and just had supercharged lettering made to go under the Viper. The lettering is just double sided tape to car. So I had a...

    Changing rear end with Paxton?

    Im running a Paxton with 3:33's, my buddy is running paxton with 3:55's. I think the 3:33 is perfect choice for a 600-700 rwhp car. While my buddy likes the 3:55 for showing off and the feel of brutal accelleration, it make 1 and 2nd gear useless.

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    No tire warmers. Those as you may know are for motorcycles. I used to use them when i raced at track on racebike. It aloowed you to go pretty hard into turn one. No tire warmup for a lap needed. As far as drag racing, a nice smokey burnout will get the tire temps up, but typically only used...

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    I dont know if runcraps are as much of a problem at the dragstrip, pressure lowered, I ran almsot indentcal times and 60 fts on PS2's. Both I ran 1.8's. And as far as your car, fair enough that you dont want to beat on it and run 1/4 mile just for bragging rights. But its much like the z06...

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    The GTS has always been easier to launch and guys ran better times. Has better gearing, lighter rims/tires, smaller diamter. So dont compare a GEN 2 to a GEN 3. Secondly, most people wont want or need that torque. Its about weight, gearing and how long the peak power is held. Thats why the Z06...

    Engine Light

    Or disconnect cable to fuse box underhood, wait about 10 minutes. Its a 10mm nut, 2 of them hold it in place. Resecure and code will be gone. Or after usually 2-3 days of normal driving if problem doesnt come back, check engine light will go out.

    Gen 3 Roe Blower ready by VOI 10

    I guess it dep[ends on how power comes on, already this car is hard enough to launch. I wouldnt want more power down low. I pulled 1.8 60 fts with 500 rwhp N/A. Best 60 ft with Paxton, 1.9 If Im trying not to spin them up at 4-6k rpms, I dont want to have to worry about them spinning at 2k...

    Engine Light

    I think if you cycle on the key, on off, 3 times, on third try leave on, it will show you a code in odometer display. The code will help people guess.

    What are a good set of 10 spoke wheels worth?

    Probably close to the same, but a much better look. :cool: I had sidewinder wheels on my car stock, very light wheel. I recently weighed with 19/20 Iforged with PS2 tires, I dont remeber the exact weights, but I think it was something like 7 lbs more per wheel/tire. So like a extra 30lbs I...

    tremec noise

    I ordered a exchange unit from Jon B. He sent me the rear end , already built with 3:33's and Quiafe. Quick swap of rear end and sent him my old unit back as a core. At the time it was about $2900, plus fluids and shipping.

    tremec noise

    I started getting a whine, 5th and 6th gear. My rear end posi was junk and causing the noise. Put in a quaife and noise is gone.

    What are a good set of 10 spoke wheels worth?

    I didnt think they used those wheels in 06. But those are the old boat anchor wheels as they called them. Very heavy wheel. They are referred to as the 10 spokes. I wonder if someone swapped rims on it. Shouldnt it have come with the newer 5 spokes?
