    Do You Know How Hot Your Sills Run

    Look at the graph, the sill itself is about 140. The hot spot is escaping heat. This was supposed to be informative. If those few trolls continue to thrive on negativity, those with meaningful input will eventually stop posting. Go home or get a job.

    Do You Know How Hot Your Sills Run

    My G2 did not have cats, as soon as the Mopar pcm comes out, this car will be catless.

    Can the Gen 5 Autocross - A Primer

    I had an opportunity to autox the car this weekend. Let me start off by saying I have done quite a bit of autox with my Gen 2 so all the comparisons will be slanted towards my G2 experience. As far as ability, 50% of the time I suck, 25% of the time I am OK and 25% of the time I am pretty good...

    Do You Know How Hot Your Sills Run

    I was at Corsa today and they thought those temps were not too bad compared to some other cars. You really have to look at the graph, the max temp is not a true sill temp, there is some hot air finding its way from under the sill, therefore, not the sill temp. In addition, I shot the pics...

    Ralph Gilles' Dyno Results

    On the viper they more often use 15%. That is due to half-shafts or CV joints. I just saw one that was not posted and it was 527.

    That is about 40 hp more than the best posted so far. It should be approx 540.

    They Stole My Track Pack Wheels/Tires

    Weather and my schedule are slowing the process down. It has rained for ten days, however, this weekend is clear which means an attempt at autox. Corsa will then have the car for a week. Hopefully the following Wednesday will be dry, that would mean the dragstrip I will take some pics of the...

    Corsa Cat Back

    Not sure - the tentative plan was to bring my car in to their lab in the month of July. They want to fit a pre-production system to my car. Their jigs are built. They seem to be very competent and professional.

    Corsa Cat Back

    In the viper book by Liam they made mention of the new single coat cat that netted them some additional hp. My guess is the factory cat is already considered a high flow cat. i did not give the whole story, when Corsa put on their high flow cat they lost HP. The PCM does not change anything at...

    Mystery battery death solved!

    A battery is considered dead at 85% of rated voltage. If you go below that threshold the storage capacuty is reduced, plus, the effect is additive.

    Corsa Cat Back

    I know the dyno shop where it was done. Thus info did not come from the marketing group. It was from the dyno sheet.

    They Stole My Track Pack Wheels/Tires

    Keep in mind these tires have one purpose, the drag strip. Also, the pictures are a little deceiving, I just let the jack down, so the suspension had not settled. Keep in mind they are only about 5/8" a side diff. I will take some better pics this week. One other item, you have to push/tap the...

    Corsa Cat Back

    Just a heads up, Corsa is close to releasing their cat-back. My guess is about 30 days. Two interesting results: their muffle/exhaust showed a 5-7 hp increase; at this point they could not get a high flow cat to give any additional hp. This is all preliminary, however, I should have more info...

    Breaking In Question

    I always cut (special tool) the filter apart when I change oil and I change it quite often due to racing the car. With the G5 I changed it at approx 1000 miles. When I cut the the filter apart I found zero steel particle matter in the filter. I did find a tiny amount of either aluminum or babbit...

    They Stole My Track Pack Wheels/Tires

    I took the car out tonight for the first time with the Hoosiers. There is no argument, they feel different. The car feels more like a G2 in 1st gear. whether this helps the 1/4 ET is still a question mark. As far as speed in fourth gear, with the Hoosiers the car does 44 mph at 2000 rpm in 4th...

    They Stole My Track Pack Wheels/Tires

    I am installing a shift light, when that is done it will be time and I am not going to use a glowing snake to shift. My guess is either next Wednesday or the Wednesday after.

    Mark: you are correct, they were 25mm.

    The spacers are made by H&R. Call them for a dealer that is close by. You want the 25mm model.

    They Stole My Track Pack Wheels/Tires

    I walked into the garage tonight and saw that my track pack tires/wheels were gone. They must of felt sorry for me and left these Gen2 tires and wheels on the car These are the 335 X 18 Hoosier drag radials, they are 26" diameter, therefore, 1" shorter than the OEM tires. They do not...
