    Re: Coming to the Viper family first...One \'hellofa\' deal on a 750hp + Viper!! I want to thank all of you for your support and the response thus far. Due to the time sensitive nature (I need to sell it within a week), I am also considering what MES has suggested: If anyone is interested in...

    New Dyno Numbers - ALL MOTOR 649 RWHP and 611 RWTQ!!!!!!!

    Great Numbers! Not too many people go the 'all engine' route these days... It would be interesting to see the dyno chart and compare it to what I was able to muster with my stroker kit because our power numbers are relatively close but our torque numbers are not as close. I'd like to see where...

    Header Heat Shields

    I put these on my car a few years back. I think they work better for stock headers and Edelbrock headers. Other header designs will require cutting, bending,etc to work. Either way it does a decent job of blocking heat from the plug wires.

    Whats the maximum amount of "Naturally Aspirated" RWHP/RWTQ on a Viper?

    Re: Whats the maximum amount of \"Naturally Aspirated\" RWHP/RWTQ on a Viper? Good point, Mav. I too have seen a car with ported/polished heads on it that made less power than a Viper with just an exhaust upgrade. Scary!! Make sure the work is done by someone who knows what they are doing and...

    Whats the maximum amount of "Naturally Aspirated" RWHP/RWTQ on a Viper?

    Re: Whats the maximum amount of \"Naturally Aspirated\" RWHP/RWTQ on a Viper? Great question....When I consulted for APEX on stroker packages about a year and a half ago, we experimented solely on naturally aspirated setups. We found some very interesting things. With wild cams and head...

    Supercharged/nitrous Viper burns to the ground in South Bay???...

    I am out of town right now, but I just received an e-mail saying that there was an article in the local newspaper (Silicon Valley) about a Viper with a supercharger and nitrous system that burned to the ground; flames shooting out the back, mutliple fire fighters needed to put out the blaze, and...

    Thanks. got it. Just to put things in perspective if you are wondering how good of a deal this is..... The mufflers alone cost me over $250 (from Summit Racing) delivered. In addition you get an x-pipe made by the same manufacturer that makes them for Winston cup cars, and 4 very nicely welded...

    Great deal on a muffler and x-pipe combo...GREAT sound!!

    I saw some discussion on this topic earlier in the week, and I thought I would offer the VCA board members a great addition to any exhaust system before I list it on Ebay. Details below: Not only did it deepen the sound of my car, but they also enahnced the tone. I have 2- 3" Stainless Dynomax...

    Looking for mufflers

    I may have something that will do the job. Not only did they quiet my car down, but they also added some great tone. I have 2- 3" Stainless Dynomax Ultraflow mufflers (3" in/out, 5" round, 12" length) that were made for me with a x-pipe. It worked great and sounded even better. I am not using...

    I was voted into the Ultimate Street Car Challenge....THANKS VCA MEMBERS!!!

    Thanks again.... The event will be held next month. I think they have something like 15 tests; about 1/2 of them are performance related. I think cars can pick up some big points for the car show, grandma test, drivability, and dyno test. Performance-wise, I feel like I should be ok, and I...

    Marc- Sorry for hijacking your thread. I didn't realize that asking a few questions was going to hijack your post. Unfortunately, it looks like when I asked a few questions, someone took it the wrong way. Not sure why. I apologize for the inconvenience. -Wayne

    My Snake is now Force Fed!

    Paolo- So how much boost are you running? We should be able to report some numbers on my car in the next few days. We had held off on getting the custom Viper injectors until we knew what flow rate was necessary because they take so long to manufacture. Had we known it was going to take a...
