spark plugs
Albert, I've got an Autolite #5224 in my 2000 GTS with NOS. This plug is 1 heat range colder than stock, and I've had no detonation problems. NGK makes plugs several heat ranges colder than stock as well. You can call their 1-800 number and talk to someone who will be able to reference the...- SGViperGTS

Parking Brake button rattles
Jeff, My 2000 GTS parking brake button did the same thing. I took it to the dealer and the tech seemed to tightned up the fit of the button. It mainly fixed the problem, although sometimes I still hear it a bit. It was a really annoying problem. Let me know if you find a better way to fix...- SGViperGTS

Borla Cat Back - No Improvement
Larry, I installed the Borla Cat-back on my 2000 GTS and also showed no improvement whatsoever. I didn't go to the track, but my car dynoed 412 rwhp with just smooth tubes, and 409 rwhp with the smooth tubes and the Borla Cat-back. I was also pretty disappointed, but I've heard that if you...- SGViperGTS

just traded my 96 RT/10 for 2000 GTS...a couple of questions
Scott, I've got a 2000 GTS, and I actually posted the same question about lifter noise when I first got it. I believe the 2000's have more valve noise than earlier GTS's (mine is very ticky sounding). I actually took it in to my local Dodge dealer, and even the Viper tech thought something...- SGViperGTS

Nitrous Dyno Results
Preston, I went one heat range colder on my plugs, and so far they look really good (I've only run 1 bottle through the car). I'm going to keep checking for any signs of detonation, and if I do see anything funny, I'll use the VEC1 engine calibrator to take out some timing and richen the...- SGViperGTS

Nitrous Dyno Results
Don, I've got about 3500 miles on my GTS (it's Steel Grey also). I put the smooth tubes and K+N's on at about 2000 miles. Same with the VEC1 and Borla Cat-Back. So far, I'm not burning any oil. I think that was an isolated problem on early build 2000's. As far as break in, I drove the...- SGViperGTS

Nitrous Dyno Results
I just dynoed my 2000 GTS with smooth tubes, Borla cat-back, VEC1, and a Nitrous Express Wet Kit. My best numbers without NOS were 428 rwhp and 465 rwtq. I turned off the VEC1 for the NOS pulls and dropped back to about 410 rwhp. With 200 hp jets (#52 nos, #33 fuel) and about 1050 psi of...- SGViperGTS

Anyone know how to take 4 degrees of timing out
Albert, I would try Sean Roe's VEC1 engine calibrator (I don't think you'd want to use the Mopar computer and the VEC1 at the same time, however). I've got one on my car, and it has a knob that lets you adjust timing and fuel mixture. Unfortunately, there are not separate controls for this...- SGViperGTS

Compression ratios and HP
Chuck, I've seen a chart of this before, but I'm not sure of the exact details. However, the power gain decreases for each additional point of compression (law of diminishing returns). Personally, I wouldn't go too much higher than stock compression unless it's a race car using some type...- SGViperGTS

Real dyno numbers for MP performance ECU?
Jay, I've got a 2000 GTS, and I'm not sure what the Mopar computer does for power. However, I've got a VEC1 from Sean Roe which does similiar things (actually the VEC1 has more control over fuel and timing), and I increased from 409 rwhp to 423 rwhp. I also picked up about 12 ft-lbs of...- SGViperGTS

Cat Bypass
I've got a 2000 GTS with smooth tubes, K+N's, VEC1, and a Borla cat-back exhaust. I'm wondering who sells cat bypass pipes and how much they cost? Do you have to do any cutting or welding? I'm also thinking about getting a set of headers, and I wonder if which brand of header I buy will...- SGViperGTS
