Creampuff? I don't think so!
Re: Creampuff? I don\'t think so! For some interesting comparisons check out this thread. Not all creampuffs are soft and it does not necessarily take a lot of mods to get to 450+ RWHP and 500+ RW Torque.. Click here for Carolinas Region Dyno Day results- Henry Cone

How do you flush clutch fluid without it shooting all over the place?
Steve340, I do this from underneath the car. I haven't tried it from the top so I don't know if it is possible. We also suck out the old fluid from the reservoir prior to beginning the bleed process. We then refill the reservoir with fresh fluid and do the bleed...- Henry Cone

Test Drive New Viper...Pedal to the metal!!!!
Gill is absolutely correct on the break in procedure. And following it will give you a snake with higher than average power, lower than average oil usage, and a resulting long and happy ilfe. As anecdotal evidence of this I offer one of our Carolinas Region cars - Its a 2001 GTS and it just...- Henry Cone

How do you flush clutch fluid without it shooting all over the place?
Steve340, we use a hollow plastic tapered tip that came with a hand vacuum pump kit that I bought. I use the hand vacuum pump with a mason jar reservior to catch the used fluid. I puch the tip into the inside of the beeld screw, open it up with a wrnech, and then use the hand pump to suck the...- Henry Cone

Carolinas Region VCA 3rd Annual Dyno Day Results
I should add that this car picked up 17 HP and 24 lb-ft from the previous year on the same dyno. The change?? We added '98+ stock tubing exhaust manifold in place of our stock cast iron ones and hi-flo cats in place of the stock ones. We made this change primarily for the weight reduction -...- Henry Cone

Carolinas Region VCA 3rd Annual Dyno Day Results
The Carolina's Region VCA held its 3rd annual dyno day this past Saturday. We had a great turnout with 10 Vipers dynoing. The results were interesting to say the least. True Blue Performance, a Ford performance shop close to Raleigh, hosted us again. They have a great facility and are very...- Henry Cone

Wheel size for fronts
John, we run 17" x 11" Forgelines on the fronts of both of our '96 GTS coupes with 315/35 front tires. We run the Forgeline 5 spokes to maximize air flow through the wheel for brake cooling. On the rear we run 17" x 12.5" Forgeline 5 spokes with the stock 335/35 rear tire size. We love our...- Henry Cone

Fifth belt seat modification
I would like to suggest another alternative - 6 points instead of 5 points. The 6 point antisub strap attaches to the same eye bolts as the waist belts. The advantage is that there are no issues about the antisub strap not being able to hold the waist belts down in the correct position. The...- Henry Cone

VRL Wheel to Wheel Racers--Spread the Word
To try to answer some of the questions posed here I spent quite a while talking to Curt Tucker at TEAMTECH today. Some of the items that we discussed are as follows: 1. What keeps the Tucker Helmet Harness from riding up?? The role of the harness around the chest is primarily to hold...- Henry Cone

4.7 Liter Overhead Cam V8 VIPER!
You might want to rethink wanting for our V-10 to go to 72 degrees. The latest F-1 V-10's (certainly the epitome of internal combustion piston engine technology) are currently being widened from 72 degrees to 90 degrees. This is apparently because while the primary vibration is better at 72...- Henry Cone

Changing brake fluid and Clutch
Jon, I don't think that there is any issue with the Speed Bleeder themselves wearing out. What will eventually happen if you use them a lot is that the thread sealant that keeps brake fluid from leaking around the threads when the bleeder is opened will wear out. Speed Bleeder sells a bottle...- Henry Cone

Changing brake fluid and Clutch
The bleeders that you want are called Speed Bleeders and are available from Speed Bleeder Products at: http://www.speedbleeder.com/ A Viper uses a total of 6 bleeders (2 on each front caliper and 1 on each rear). The Speed Bleeder P/N that you want for a stock Viper is SB1010S for the...- Henry Cone

Pesky driver's side door lock
Re: Pesky driver\'s side door lock Old Rascal and Chuck, I believe that the problem that you both having is a failed outside door knob microswitch.

What is a reasonable TIP for your Viper Tech?
I have been watching this thread develop and felt it necessary to chime in with my $0.02 on this subject. You can call it a tip or whatever but I want to make sure that I make it worth while for the tech to work on my car. We do a lot of things to make sure that this is the case. Tipping is...- Henry Cone

Does the Dealer matter?
While it may be true that in this case which Dodge dealer you use will not make any difference in IF you can get a 2003, the dealer DOES matter for virtually everything else. The Viper friendlly dealers such a Woodhouse will make a difference for everything else involved in the transaction...- Henry Cone

Oil Dip Stick For '96 GTS
Re: Oil Dip Stick For \'96 GTS I will second JonB's advice on the '96 - '97 PCV hoses. Though ours were not leaking and visually seemed to be okay when handled they indeed were deteriorating into a slimy mess. For relatively small $$ for a set of later model hoses this can easily be...- Henry Cone

1998 Viper parts catalog
I did find a '97 parts catalogue on eBay and have been using it for some time. It is very helpful as I typically can give my parts guy a P/N that is at least a good starting point. Many times the P/N has been updated but he can track down the latest P/N if he has a valid P/N to start from. I...- Henry Cone

Dumb Tire Question.
Frank, Michelin does make Pilots in 315 widths. We run 315/35 x 17 MXX3's on the front of both of our cars in Viper Days Super Stock class. They work quite well for the reasons that have been mentioned. They do require a wider (11") wheel and rub at full lock but these are reasonable...- Henry Cone

New Board Layout Sucks
I'm usually pretty easy going about this board, it's layout, and all of the stuff that goes on around it and on it but I think that this new layout is lousy. No, that is an understatement p it sucks. It would appear to be driving distinctions between owners that we don't need. So I don't...- Henry Cone

engine start up
There IS a difference between the oil system on a Gen II non-ACR and an ACR. Since most everyone changes over to smooth tubes and K&N's, the only real difference between the ACR engine and a non-ACR engine is the oil filter adapter. The ACR one does not compromise oil cooling for A/C...- Henry Cone

Viper Losing Brakes - Check Your Car For This!
Dean, you are correct about the SVSi SS brake lines having a bent hard line that exactly matches the stock factory lines. However, they do make them in 2 different line sizes - I believe in both -3 and -2. We have been using them for 2 years on our 2 Super Stock class Viper Days cars and...- Henry Cone
