Track wheels
Chuck, we use 5 spoke Forgeline wheels on both of our cars - 17 x 11 front and 17 x 12.5 rear. They are light, strong, easy to keep clean, and help with brake cooling. I highly recommend them. We got ours from Keith Moody at bobby Archer Motorsports.... We use Michelin MXX3's. In front we...- Henry Cone

power steering leak after track time...help!!
I'll second David Jenkins recommentaion for Red Line PS fluid. We have it installed in both of our cars and have not had any problems running several Viper Days events (including ambient temps approaching 100). We sucked out the stock fluid and refilled with Red Line, ran the car, and then...- Henry Cone

Bleeding Brakes
Jeff, I can offer the following suggestions. As far as brake fulid goes, I would suggest Castrol SRF (most expensive but best) with Motul 600 as a good, more cost effective alternative. But I would STRONGLY suggest bleeding before every track event. You risk boiling the fluid if you don't -...- Henry Cone

Cooling !!
Bill, I will offer additional information on brake cooling though my methods are a little different from yours. I use Sean Roe's titanium brake pistons to reduce heat transfer to the fluid - it is a bit of a pain to rebuild the calipers but I feel that it is worth it. I also use StopTech's...- Henry Cone

5 pt harness for 98 rt/10
Chris, the install in a 98 RT/10 should be the same as a GTS of the same year. We have installed Team Tech 5 point harness in both of our 96 coupes. They are much better that any other harnesses that we could find, including Simpson and Schroth. Contact Jon B at the parts rack - he has a...- Henry Cone

cooling fan question
Narly, the 99 fan module is much improved over the 96 to 98 module. It is about 1" laqrger in diameter as well as being a better overall design. We have installed the 99 fan on both of our 96 coupes..... I would try the new fan module before making any other changes. It should be enough - we...- Henry Cone

Clutch pedal, no room for BigFoot
Sean's clutch linkage kit is a great change for any Gen II Viper. The clutch pedal finally feels "normal" in the car - the pedal height and engagement point match the brake and accelerator pedals much better. This is one of the best low cost mods that you can do to a Gen II Viper, IMHO...- Henry Cone

Oil Starvation
We use Joe Dozzo modified 2000 oil pans and windage trays in both of our 1996 Coupes that we run in Viper Days. We also use the 2000 style gasket. All of the 2000 pieces are significant improvements over the original 1996 parts. The increased oil capacity is a bonus. I would certainly...- Henry Cone

ACR 5-PT Harness Mounts
I hate to say this but much better 5 points are available than the ACR ones. If you are getting them for track use I would suggest geting Team Tech belts (we got ours from Keith Moody at Bobby Archer's German Motor Works) as they offer the best protecdtion (IMHO). If this is more for looks...- Henry Cone

Viperdays, Class Matrix for 2001?
I'm going to jump in with my $0.02 as well. While it is a stretch for Janni and I to field 2 cars for all of the East Coast events this year, I can think of no better bang for the buck than doing this. Viper Days is the best combination of great people and a challenging event that I know of...- Henry Cone

Thinking about 5-points - Opinions Please
We have Team Tech 5 points in both of our GTS's. If you are interested in the safest harnesses possible they are the way to go (IMHO). Because of all of the extra padding, the sternum strap, etc. that are incorporated into them it is really not feasible to use them in a daily driver vehicle...- Henry Cone

AC fan slows during acceleration.
Vipers shut off the AC compressor at full throttle. So this should explain why you lose cool air. I sometimes forget to shut off my air conditioning before heading out onto the track - I've even done a full session at Viper Days with the air on. Didn't effect performance since it shut itself...- Henry Cone
