    96 ECU

    Just keep in mind that there are some pins/wires that changed. In addition, the fuel/timing maps are much different than your 2000. Hope this helps. -Wayne

    TOOFS Dynoday a Hit

    1 word....HEADS! A set of properly ported/polished heads will get you there. Not over-ported, not too much spring pressure....just right for your combo. My car picked up almost 90rwhp on the dyno with properly set up heads. -Wayne

    V-10 NATIONALS Schedule of events

    Wow...now I really wish I could attend. 2 days packed solid with Viper madness!! I hope people are bringing camcorders, digital cameras, the works! I hope to see video results. Sounds like it will be an amazing event!! Judging by the amount of support and planning that went into it, it will be...

    Best way to describe Viper acceleration...

    I actually mildly-injured someone's neck in my car (on another occassion I injured my own) with the immediate torque and throttle response you get with the car. Although mine is not stock, with over 835 ft/lbs torque, if you mash the throttle in the 'sweet spot' of the torque curve, your head...

    V-10 Nationals Final Push!

    Sounds like it will be an amazing event!! Judging by the amount of support and planning that went into it, it will be an event that no one will want to miss out on. I wish I could be there..... Unfortunately, between work (my real job!), an MBA program I am enrolled in currently (I have...

    What is the highest Boost only RWHP?

    Since my last post, I received several e-mails questioning why we don't go with more than 6 lbs. boost. The answer is very simple: Because we don't want to. It's the frequently discussed laws of physics. After certain thresholds, your car will not be able to get any traction. Anything above this...

    M2 Group Purchase Pre-Order of Viper Silicone Radiator Hoses

    These are great hoses. We supplied Samco with some stock hoses about a year ago for this project, and they made us a set of silicone rad. hoses about 9 months ago. They are nice! They fit well, and came in a variety of colors. The set we had them make for us ours did not come with a bleeder, but...

    What is the highest Boost only RWHP?

    I'll be posting the numbers for the LETHAL 1000 in the next week or so. Our goals for the setup will be the following: 1) Pump gas, not race gas 2) No intercooler; we are only going to make about 6lbs boost which does not justify an intercooler 3) No additional injectors, no external fuel...

    Problem after SC installation. Please help!!

    It may be something related to the injectors or the connections too. Check to make sure every injector is properly connected and well seated in the fuel rails.

    Problem after SC installation. Please help!!

    Aco- Try starting your car without the VEC2. That will not hurt anything if your car is just idling. If it idles fine, then it may be the VEC-2. If the poor idle persists, then reconnect every spark splug wire, and check every connection (MAP sensor), IAC motor, etc.. that was disconnected when...

    What is the best way to acheive 600 RWHP with a Viper ?

    Dean- No problem. If you want the ultimate tune, we can just custom tune your Viper with one of our computer boxes. Then we can accurately change settings at different loads and RPMs. Nothing is wrong with the VEC-1, it does work, but if you are going to tune it on our dyno anyway, a custom...

    Mopar performance intake manifold assembly

    Yes, we dyno'd a highly modified engine (heads, cams, headers, etc, etc) with one of these intakes. Unfortunately, the results were not good. Power and torque below 3500 rpms was less than a stock Viper. Above 5000 rpms the power kicked in, but it was not very effective or enough to cause...

    What is the best way to acheive 600 RWHP with a Viper ?

    Moundir- We can certainly work something out for a local installation for you. We have tried over a dozen, custom camshaft profiles to optimize power and torque with our heads. If smog is not an issue, then we can certainly make you happy!! A more aggressive cam will diminish low end...

    What is the best way to acheive 600 RWHP with a Viper ?

    With our LETHAL 650 package, we are knocking on the door. Keep in mind the cam we use is MILD and passes the sniffer in CA. Certainly we could get higher power levels if emissions is not an issue for you. We use our own combination of hardware and pressures:valves, springs, retainers, so your...

    Vortec SC

    They are probably referring to the Paxton unit (since Vortech and Paxton merged not too long ago). We are going to be finishing up with the installation of this kit on my LETHAL 750 next week and will post the results. The kit is not available yet, but when it is, it will be the first kit with a...

    What makes more power. A bored and stroked V8 or a big V10 Viper Engine

    The car has a slightly more aggressive idle, but, to be honest, our cam is conservative considering that we added 62 c.i. of displacement. I know there are some tuners using more aggressive cams in stock cars than we are using in our bored/stroked packages. The problem is that as you go more...

    What makes more power. A bored and stroked V8 or a big V10 Viper Engine

    What is the name of that guy you are speaking about????.......OH! It's me. At this point, the most we were able to get out of the car was 671 rwhp and 715 rwtq. The car is still very drivable for the street. If we were building a road-race only or a drag-strip car, we could definitely get more...

    Camshaft for a Gen 1

    APEX has done 'em. I agree with JP: It is important to match the camshaft profile with the headers, flow numbers of the heads, spring pressures, and lift characteristics that BPE assembled the heads with. Give Bill a call at 408.562.1000. Sounds like you are right down the road from him. I now...

    Trans/Rear-end Information Needed, Please Help!

    There is someone is our region who has spent probably around $100k making a very quick Miata. I don't know all the specifics but every time he added more power more stuff would start breaking under the load. Sounded like a never ending project... I believe he has a T-56 at this point, but not...

    Ordered Roe SC for my 650R

    Did you have a chance to make it to the dyno yet? Did the PCM cure the problem?

    Uppity Supercharged Vipers!!!

    Paolo- Good questions. I may have missed your post you refer to earlier. To keep it brief....out LETHAL 1000 does use all of the components of the LETHAL 750. We do use a different cam profile (no added cost) and we do modify the compression ratio. However, if you remember from our last post...

    Uppity Supercharged Vipers!!!

    Tom- Great point. People can sometimes get overly-consumed with peak horsepower numbers without realizing that the 'acceleration factor' is mostly governed by torque. Average torque across the rpm band is the best way to go. Althought I am not going to predict or guarantee that our LETHAL...

    Dyno results: High-flow cats from PartsRack

    The main point people are bringing up is that your DYNO has ACTUAL HORSEPOWER, NOT CORRECTED HORSEPOWER. This is a VERY valid point. You can not compare dyno runs with ACTUAL HORSEPOWER. Ask them to print out your SAE CORRECTED dyno sheets for an accurate comparison. Very easy for them to do...
