I have done a baseline on my 94 RT - here's the before info:
K&N + smooth tubes
stock mufflers out, glasspacks in
3.54 rear gears (I have heard they affect numbers, also heard they don't)
373.8HP/429.1TQ
Now I have added
headers (Valaya Racing)
Borla 3" mufflers
Hen-S-E 3" cats
T&D 1.7...
Re: 3
I was out of town all last week. Car should be done by mid-week and I will hit the dyno asap. Also got T&D's, so it won't be exhaust change only...
Re: 3
The stock mufflers have so much back pressure that you should see a nice performance gain. It will definitely sound nicer (compared to the stock UPS truck sound of the side exhaust systems). I only swapped out my mufflers, and am unsure of HP/TQ gains (didn't do a before dyno) but I have...
K&N filter cleaner works well as a grease remover also. Follow up w/ rinse, dry, and Zaino tire/rubber treatment. Not that I remember, since it's been so long since I cleaned mine! :)
My favorite picture because it doesn't show how poorly my hood to fascia to headlight alignment is!
I consider the next one a "better" picture, but doesn't hide the flaws as well
I used the exact same thing as a hardtop rack. Biff from VMania suggested it. No brainer to do it. I feel safe w/ my top on it (even though I'm in earthquake country!). Wish I had a bag for my top also.
Make sure you install the screws for the brackets in studs in the wall! Sheetrock isn't going...
They wouldn't do an Arrow return for my head gasket problems.... they just replaced head gaskets (didn't even change the thermostat gasket while the had it apart! Luckily I had already done that). Get your car in asap if they said they're going to rebuild it. Everything I have heard indicates a...
Vipers come in colors other than black? And without sidepipes?? Didn't know that. ;)
Check out Vmania windows (definitely) and top (if you are inclined to get a top, this is THE one to get). Lowering the car makes it look better - IMO - especially since you have the 18" wheels.

That is exactly what I did, as my tires were wearing considerably more on the inside than the outside. From your post, it is obvious that you know the tires are directional. This is the best time to do it, since you have them off the rims! By doing that, I have been able to get ~2 sets of...
I just changed over from RE71's to Pilot Sports. The Sports feel so much softer and stickier I can't believe it! They also look a LOT better (IMO) due to the lip on the tire that protects the rim. I have 285 front and 335/35 rear, which fit on the stock 3-spoke rim, as well as the 5-spoke 17"...
They should fit. They weigh less than the stock manifolds - by about 25 pounds, but you will only see a very small increase in horsepower. Many many sets out there for cheap. Lots of work for minimal return, in my opinion. Save up and buy a "real" set of headers. There are some great deals out...
Check out Nationwide Insurance - 888-634-7328. Although I was 34 when I bought my Viper, and it has always been a "2nd car" (300ZXTT is "daily driver"), I have never paid over $600 a year to insure the Viper, even when I had 2 tickets on my record. They may not have insured me if I had 2 tickets...
You could always have the wheels re-powdercoated, which is generally very strong, and should not peel. Someone did something to those wheels to make that happen (like using something to pry off the center cap that chipped the wheel?!?)
You could also have your wheels polished, and clear...
I'm sure you wil hear this from more than one person - Zaino products are awesome.

Tons of info how to to wash, dry, polish, take care of the interior, etc. Sal is a great guy and is always extremely helpful.
Staromaro was initially meant as a derogatory term for the SRT. Cross between a Stratus and a Camaro. Chris has embraced it and turned it's powers to good. :)
Thanks to all of you - I made sure I have the correct number of bolts installed (4) for the sport cap pad, the pins for the soft top are now installed in the correct spot, and I put larger washers on the hole that was messed up. I have not tried the top out again - before I do, I'm going to slot...
