    Anyone hit near 700rwhp on pump gas with a paxton?

    My NA 97 ran a 10.91 at 129 this year, that has to be close to 700 fwhp. It is capable of better times, that was a first outing after some winter tinkering. My 2013 came in and I have not had the time to get the 97 out again. Due to time constraints I made a decision, the 97 is going up for...

    Ride height adjustable suspension questions

    Mark installed the MCS coil-overs on my SRT. The front was dropped 3/4" and rhe rear at 1". Shock adjustments are more pronounced than the Penske's on my 97. That is probably due to 15 clicks of range versus 22 clicks. They are also easier to adjust. On my street settings the car rides very...

    Excessive Oil Consumption?

    Check your oil pressure, my car has the following pressure during normal driving when the oil and coolant temp are 185-195: Idle: 37-45 psi Above 2000 rpm: 70-80 psi.

    Excessive Oil Consumption?

    Exactly, with one exceotion, change the oil instead of topping it off. Now, all bases are covered.

    Hi-fow vs no cats, (will be supercharged eventually)

    I have personally seen two major cat caused fires on modded cars. Early Roe's also had an isse wirh cats igniting due to a rich a/f mixture.

    You need to get ahold of an infrared camera.

    Excessive Oil Consumption?

    If that scenario repeats and it started out full you have a problem. Be careful on reading the dipstick, check both sides.

    OK. One of U out there must be working on boost. Give it up.

    Your logic is flawed, the SRT model was is priced at about 6K more than a optioned out Gen 4, weren't they priced out of the market then? The car has been out on the streets for five months, the Gen 2 did not see the SCT tuning package for 13 years???

    Gen V update - 6,000 mile mark

    I think that is the way it is supposed to be, I don't like thr scheme either.

    Louder- the car is in the video above or go to the other exhaust thread for a video of the car at the dragstrip

    It is not a very good tire for launching the car.

    Downstream O2 sensors

    On my 97 the rear O2's are about 18" to the rear of where the exhaust leaves the sill. As someone already commented, the 96-99 PCM does not care about bad rear O2's. I have run the 97 catless for ten years. In most cases later cars (post 99) will set an intermittant code when you go to a high...

    Stock Gen V Dyno Pulls

    The vette smoothing looks like a 5, I would guess the viper is a 1 or 2. The diff is obvious. I have over 100 dyno pulls on three different cars. I could take the viper dyno file and make the same pull change 30 hp easily by changing the smoothing and the correction type. You can go to the...

    Dashboard repaint

    It will lift the oem paint, it has to be stripped.

    Stock Gen V Dyno Pulls

    If I used the same smoothing on the viper that was used on the vette I could knock off 20 hp.

    Anyone else find this super annoying?

    It is fed mandated. Shift at over 18 mph and it won't happen.

    H Pile Exhaust

    What we refer to as drone is actually resonance. That is a magnification/multiplication of the normal sound output. Resonance exists at multiples of the fundamentel which in the Gen 5 appears to peak at 2400. Given a rear exhaust system most manufacturers can detune that resonant point, the...

    H Pile Exhaust

    I posed the question on the H-Pipe to the Corsa engineers, here is their answer: Probably smoother tone overall. Less noticeable pulsing alternating from side to side. Maybe slightly quieter overall. Uncertain of the benefit/affect near the drone area. I would think it would help, but I...

    The torque issue is twofold, the trans gearing and peak torque is higher.

    Hoosier A6 Mounted on Sidewinder Wheels

    What is interesting is that my street wheels are the hyper black and they really aren't black. These are the matte black, however, they are more like semi-gloss or satin. They are a better track wheel since they won't show the brake dust as much. The wheels come from Japan to Chrysler and then...
