    Whats a good Cat-Back system

    I really like the sound of by Borla cat back. It is louder, without being too loud. I would start with that, then add the hi flow cats, then add headers. Just keep going until you get the sound you want. Sean Roe Racing is an excellent place to buy these. You can see the performance below.

    Lug nut size

    Buy a set of metric impact sockets in 1/2 inch. They will fit your socket wrench just fine. Better yet get a compressor and an air gun to go with them...

    2001 Exterior Colors

    Bob, The Saphire Blue is almost black. It is my favorite new color. The new yellow is much darker than the original yellow and it looks GREAT with black stripes. This is the only yellow car I have ever liked the look of. Lots of pictures of both around here, just take a look around...

    Dyno results, can anyone explain please?

    Nadine, I am no expect on dynos, but that thing your boy was on is NOTHING like the dyno we run on for our IL region event a few weeks ago. I don't even see any tie down straps @ 172 MPH, Yikes! I'll post some pictures of our dyno tonight... About your numbers... Ignore the "P-eng" figure...

    2000 Viper - Just a Few Questions..

    Below you can see my mods and the results they produced. I'm real happy with the results. My flywheel HP is around 490, and I only spent $850 (my exhaust was used, last time I looked there were still several used ones in the classfieds). I am pretty sure I have not violated any warranty...

    Dyno results, can anyone explain please?

    Nadine, Here is your chart. Sorry about the poor quality folks, but it looks like the original was poor, then it was faxed overseas to me, scanned, and, well you get the idea. John, You're right about the Dyno. It was made by SUN Electric, a company that I worked for for over 7 years. I am...

    Great SoCal Club turn-out at Palmdale yesterday!

    Oh Ya, well according to MY super secret calculations my 12.46 @ 119 would have been an 11.25 @ 125 if I had raced somewhere else under different conditions. So there! WAR: Bench Racers!

    Dealership suggested NOT getting headers...

    I agree with JonB, first find another dealer. But I also agree with Mr TOOFAST. Take a look below at the mods I have and what they have done for my car. Headers will add horsepower, but they also add heat and a much louder exhaust note. And personally I have a hard time with $2500 to $3000 for...

    First Time at the Drag Strip

    The track is Route 66 Raceway in Joliet, IL. Air temp was probably in the low 60s, track elevation was 632 feet. There was a lot of rubber on the track from an event the day before. Since it was my first time at a track I can't say if the conditions were good or bad, but again the low E/T was...

    Buying used Viper, am I being unreasonable here?

    You are not being unreasonable. If you pay cash, you have every reason to expect to get a title. End of story! This is a classic case of a lawyer earning his money. His advise is right on. You're paying for it, I'd follow it. If the seller has a problem with it, find another Viper...

    Can you do this with Any Other Car?

    Here is a quick recap of my weekend: Drive 75 miles to the Drag Strip (Route 66 in Joliet, IL). Make 10 mid 12 second passes in 1.5 hours. Drive 75 miles back home, all on the same tank of gas. Park in Dennys and get approached by a 60 year old women and her mother who wanted to know if it...

    First Time at the Drag Strip

    This post is not for those of you running high 11's, forced induction, nitrous, slicks, etc. This is about my first time to a drag strip, ever. I thought it would be good to let all of you who never taken your Viper to the track to know what it was like. My first pass was: R/T 0.608 60'...

    What are your thoughts on bras?

    I feel the same way about bras on cars as I do about bras on women: Only when absolutely necessary! I myself prefer the natural look.

    No Vipers in Jax FL?

    Your best bet for a test drive is a dealer with a used Viper. I did manage to test drive a new one, but it was very, very difficult. Not really worth the effort. But used ones are easy to test drive. At the time I didn't know why. But now I understand that Test Drive and Break In Period just...

    Very Happy with my Dyno Results

    Sean, I wouldn't be happy with my numbers if I had headers either. Heat soak is a definate issue. My second pull was down 7 HP and 16 TQ. Our shop used a decent fan, but not the big 200 MPH type I would have liked.

    Valet Parking Advice....

    Don't even think about leaving your keys with a valet at a club or restraunt. Valets do not like car keys, they like cash. When you arrive, get out, hand him/her $10 or $20, tell them that you want the car out front, and ask where you should park it. Park it where they tell you and take the keys...
