    Viper running hotter after Head work?

    It could be and probably is the tune, if the air/fuel/timing is too aggressive the car will run hotter than normal. There are many other possible reasons but this would be the first thing I look at since you just had it tuned.

    poly mounts to improve shifting?

    My factory mounts were toast at 15k miles, at 37k you probably have just the bolt holding the motor in place.

    i got a ticket to pinks all out in chicago...i need to make my 98gts faster

    Well the twin turbo kit you decided to pass on made 840rwhp and 930lb torque @ 11 psi of boost. Too bad you you could have had a fast twin turbo car.

    PIA changing engine mounts this weekend

    Kenne Bell 2.8H Upgrade

    What you guys dont seem to understand is that YOU are not helping, if you were trying to help the first thing you would tell him is to stop what he is doing. You cant practice/experiment/learn/diagnose/tune when you are not 100% sure you know what you are doing. In the end the poor guy is...

    Fastest stock motor times?

    All Gen 3 and older viper motors have a built in restriction plate known as our cylinder heads. You are not going to see major hp improvement NA unless you get aftermarket heads or do some serious porting to the factory heads and dont forget the intake.

    N/A Motor Build - 700 rwhp???

    You seem to be ignoring many people that are replying to YOUR questions. Are you prepared to spend 50k on a build which may get you where you want to be?

    GEN 2 Ram Air Intake Product...

    Long as you don't care about actual power gains, and are just fine with "claimed" gains any of the viper air intake systems will work just fine for you. Just do your self a favor and dont TEST any of the products.

    My DIY twin turbo build..

    By the time you get fittings on the oil drains and run the line back to the pan there is no way you will be able to get away with no pump. To pull it off on my car the turbo oil drain is roughly 3-4 inches above the top of the pan and even then we had bets going on if it would smoke or not(I...

    My DIY twin turbo build..

    Are you confident in your internal waste gates ability to release enough exhaust gas to control boost? Oil scavenge will be a serious pain in the ass as well, in the end it would have been cheaper for you to build headers to place the turbo's in a position where oil could have been gravity...

    Can a K&N FIPK be made to fit a 02'?

    Not that I recall, the cross member may have gotten in the way after the radiator clearance was dealt with but like I said they never got that far with it. The other problem was that they had no data supporting any power gain from the intake all their dyno testing showed no gain. So that...

    Can a K&N FIPK be made to fit a 02'?

    K&N tried on my viper way back when to see what the modifications would need to be. The problem is the updated radiator/core support on 99 and newer cars. After trying for about a day they decided it would not be worth the effort to make it fit.

    N/A Motor Build - 700 rwhp???

    To begin with you will need Striker head castings, and have Greg Good or someone equally competent and knowledgeable work them over. Then you will need an intake manifold/headers that will allow you full use of the heads flow capabilities. Just the two things I mentioned are going to cost...

    What mods are needed for a Gen 2 to run with a Gen 3

    A typical Gen 2 will dyno around 400-410hp at the wheels stock, same for a Gen 3 is around 420-430. So if you add say a Borla/Belanger exhaust on a 99 or older gen 2 with no cats you should be good for around 430rwhp. If its a 2000+ Gen 2 then you will need headers as well to make similar...

    Will I notice any diffirence?

    Not here to argue with you Jon, just answering the guys question. Have seen enough Corsa's on the dyno to know they don't pick up any power. One So Cal dyno day we over layed 6 or 7 viper dyno pulls some stock some had corsa's power curve and power output was identical on all. It may be...

    Will I notice any diffirence?

    No Creampuffs dont pick up power from Corsa exhausts, actually no gen 2 viper does. If you did a nice set of headers and no cats you could be around 420rwhp. Unfortunately with your mods all you will notice is sound.

    Roe on higher compression motor?

    A good tuner and an AEM, or something like it can get you there. There are plenty of cars with 12:1 compression running around with forced induction. Or like some others have suggested a healthy amount of meth injection would work very well also.

    Kenne Bell 3.6 ltr Blower

    Why would anyone here want a blower? Two turbo's will make you forget that useless air restriction for ever. It may be a bit more expensive initially, but the ability to upgrade to power levels no blower can ever take you too. And the street ability is better than any blower could be either.

    ROE vs. Paxton vs. ?

    Depends on what your goals are, perhaps if you tell us that we can give you more details on whats your best option is.

    Lemans Facia

    Best looking mod for any Gen 1 or 2 viper, anyone that says otherwise has yet to see one in person or is dillusional. Is it a pain in the ass to install and fit right? Hell yes, it will cost you more to install than the actual parts. Is it expensive? Yes, will cost you about 6k installed...
