Halfshaft replacement time.. any input?
Larry, It breaks my heart to war with you, of all people, but the fact remains that my vendor called me with the amount of half shafts that you have ordered from him over the last few months...this after the Jack B incident which I will not go into on this forum and I hope Jack does not...- Tom Welch

Halfshaft replacement time.. any input?
Larry, When you gonna tell em that they are BTR Half shafts?? PIRATE! Tom BTW, I just laughed when I saw the propane tank in Vipermeds car, but I didn't think that my buddy would pirate my vendor........Didn't I just order $ 2000 worth of parts from you that I could have gotten...- Tom Welch

creature comforts of the Viper vs the Vette
I owned a 99 coupe, it had all the toys including heads up display. What it lacked, which to me couldn't be replaced..was my confidence! Sitting at a traffic light besides one of many Friday night takers left me always wondering the outcome and wishing I had my Viper out this night. Do we...- Tom Welch

EXCITING NEW Drag Racing Series Opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Paul, I have been asked to help with tech for this inaugrual event, as well as maybe the first event of next season, should we secure this venue. Its a no brainer teching Vipers as the elapsed time is pretty evident of a cars modifications and most of us know each other. As for checking the...- Tom Welch

EXCITING NEW Drag Racing Series Opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony, The rules where more designed around those other brands that you speak so highly of. You must also note that the rules state stock suspension with no traction aiding devices..which are common among Mustangs and F-bodies. The NMCA already has classes in place for these vehicles...- Tom Welch

EXCITING NEW Drag Racing Series Opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Cudaman, Yea it is....lots of M&M's and Coffee.........Part of the reason why I did not go to the Norwalk event, I did not think I'd have the energy to go "back to Ohio" again...LOL BTW, nice job holding up the Florida flag last weekend! Tom P.S. I'm working with Lee in an effort to...- Tom Welch

EXCITING NEW Drag Racing Series Opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hi Pete, Thats because I will not be attending. I'm a drag racer, the autocross and road course functions are nice, but just not my cup of tea. The Friday night venue at the Atlanta test and tune conflicts with the Chauteu Elan reception...and I would be torn between a track full of fart can...- Tom Welch

Who has the fastest SUpercharged VIper?
One thing I like about Gary A, he never backs down from a war! As for the SC car in the 10's at VOI 6, it was Doug in his own Viper. It was Red with White GTS Stripes..I think he still owns it. I could be wrong about this but I thought that Jamie Furman had ran in the 10's a few years back...- Tom Welch

EXCITING NEW Drag Racing Series Opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anthony, Thanks for the question...NO strokers. Aftermarket forged pistons OK. Stock crankshaft and connecting rods. Vipers and Vettes are both plagued with the Hyperutectic Pistons and a piston change along with headwork, cam and the other usual "top end" mods are allowed. Roof, I looked...- Tom Welch

Who has the fastest SUpercharged VIper?
Sorry Gary but DLM was running in the 10's with superchargers YEARS AGO! He ran 10.60's at VOI 6 in St. Louis.....not that I'm bragging on the competition...PLEASE!!just setting the record straight! Your 10.20 does still stand as quickest s/c only pass, even if it is only by .02, hence back to...- Tom Welch

EXCITING NEW Drag Racing Series Opportunity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tony, Thats NOT correct about indexing. As an example, for this event's 10.90 class, a car can run QUICKER/FASTER than 10.90....as quick as 10.40 before being moved to the next quicker class. The breakout is set at .500 quicker than the index. Take a look at NHRA Competition Eliminator or...- Tom Welch

Opinions on Dodge Viper Dual Tube intake Filter kit?
To add to Jacks correct words, a correct Cone Filter system will outperform airboxes during actual acceleration tests. A fan in front of a dyno is a JOKE! I have tried every airbox, air filter, scoop and contraption that is available and I can tell you that my 9 SECOND VIPER uses CONE FILTERS...- Tom Welch

Twisted Halfshaft.. =(
JK, Yep, same set for the last 5 years! No breakage! The wall thickness of factory halfshafts is their weak link. The weak link in aftermarket heavy duty half shafts is a combination of the U-Joint (there is only ONE available on the market) and/or "wheel hop" which is that teeth...- Tom Welch

The door bar may be removable and there are several acceptable methods of mounting the door bar. Our bar uses the ART ENGINEERING swing out bar kit, but...- Tom Welch
