Plum is much nicer than I am.
Considering you probably have never drag raced on a track before and the mods on your car will hardly add any hp above factory and you have 20 inch wheels on the car which does nothing but make you slower. My guess is 13.1 your first trip to the track, and mid...
All it will take is a set of Stryker heads and good tuning, you will make much more than a gen 4. 600hp at the wheels is not hard which means roughly 660-670 at the crank.
But if you want to stay on the cheap side, you can port your heads or put on gen 3 heads and port those.
You will not...
Nate,
It wont run good because it was rich, but was it better than before you unhooked the vec?
Do you have any additional pumps? Or a boost a pump or something like that?
Did you ever get us a picture of exhaust smoke?
Is it black or Blue?
RTTTTed,
Where do you get this stuff from...
They are DOT approved just like a v700, and last just as long. So I guess your definition of a track tire is not the same as mine. I consider 0 tread wear slicks track tires, if its DOT approved then thats good enough for me.
Oh great I never played around with a Roe air heater, which means I had no idea they are converted to top mount injectors.
Ok then Nate, just remove the Vec it will run rich with the 42's but its only 25% bigger so should still run good enough to see if the Vec is the problem.
Out of...
Nate,
We need to get back to basics here something is very wrong so lets see if we can figure out what that something is.
1) Change oil, if there is alot of fuel in your oil thats a bad thing.
2) Change your plugs
3) Remove the Vec and the bigger injectors and put the factory ones in.
4)...
All except 5 & 10 show extreemly rich condition, 5 looks like there is no spark or fuel, 10 looks like it may be covered with oil?
I cant tell by the pictures but do any of them especially 10 have oil on them?
Other things that I cant tell by the pictures for sure is 2,3,4,7 look like...
Nate,
I may be missing it with all the people chiming in here with useless or wrong info but what happened to the spark plug pictures, exhaust smoke pictures?
If I were you the first thing would be to remove the vec and any form of it put in the factory injectors and start the car up. If it...
V710's are made for 18 inch wheels in 345/35/18 they stick like super glue and last about 5k miles of hard street driving. The only time they will rub is if your car is lowered and you hit a big bump with serious speed.
1) You need to tell us what color the smoke is without that diagnosis is imposible.
2) When you put in the vec 3 did you tune it?
3) Pull the new plugs you put in now and post pictures of them. And remember to keep track what cylinder they came from so you can tell us.
What most people dont understand is that the AEM unit is by far the bargain out of all the mentioned units. And the only reason some people claim the motec is better is because they just don't know any better or are tuners that prefer to sell you the motec at 4x the price of the AEM unit...
Dodge rated the ACR at more power becuase it could, all gen 2 vipers were under rated from factory.
MPH will become higher if you get down the track faster, shift better, have better traction. Is a good way to compare if everything else is equal, it is obviously not unless you think even if he...
I did multiple back to back dyno sessions testing the smooth tubes/K&N's and there was no measurable power gain.
Your 1/4 time improvement is due to several things:
1) Driving
2) Weather
You can tell by your 1/8 mile time that you have considerably improved your launch, shifting and traction.
In the process of doing top feed 60# injectors being fed by a -10 fuel line, powered by 2-255lb pumps mounted in tank, fed through an Aeromotive fuel filter controled by an AEM fuel pressure regulator and an AEM EMS, using the factory fuel line as a return.
Should be good for around 1100-1200hp...
If you like loosing 15-20hp at the wheels then by all means use cone filters. Its probably due to more air flow and could be tuned out but not unless you spend the money to do so and experiment. Otherwise on a stock tune you will loose considerable power.
You may want to call DC performance, Dan Craigan is the owner and is also the person whose name is on that plaque. He use to work for Claude Short Dodge before they closed.
So even though he offered you a full refund+shipping(unheard of) you still come on here to bad mouth him?
Vipair and I don't have any love lost between us, but you are being completely unreasonable and attempting to drag his name through the dirt even though he is willing to make you happy at...
Contrary to most ebay shoppers a clean viper is very difficult to find used. Most vipers that old have had their share of mishaps of some sort or another.
Paying more initialy for a clean well maintained car will without a doubt save you money in the short and long term.
Which means the few...
