    Idling at 400 rpm

    The mark that is halfway between 0 and 1000 is actually about 650 RPM if I remember right. It is not 500. To be just below it is normal. That's how GEN IIs are. I assume the same tach in the GEN I Steve

    ROE Manifold Question

    Well, that's about a 1600 mile run. Seeing as it has been snowing off and on for the last month.....and we seem to be in a little squall right now...we will have to postpone the cruise. We've seen the teens for temperature here on a regular basis as well. The summer games are over here. We did...

    ROE Manifold Question

    I think the blower is the exactly the same. I have a picture of my base manifold on the pool table before I put it on. I'm guessing it's identical to yours. I'll post it if you want. Steve

    ROE Manifold Question

    I believe the redesign of the the chamber behind the blower had a lot to do with making this better. That, along with improved software and individual cylinder trim capabiities. We have both. The yellow is one of the very first....installed in the summer of 2003. The gray one is the 6th...

    Winter Storage procedures for the newbies (long)

    I keep a list in the car as well of stuff to remember to do in the spring. Tire pressure is on it. Temporarily running the car with the higher pressure won't hurt anything. I autocross with higher pressure than 44. You'll likely feel the roughter ride as well. However, the biggest thing to...

    Chrysler executive bonuses

    One needs to put even these 'small' bonuses in context. The piddliest (sp) bonus listed above by Bob...$1.53M......is more than a majority of Americans earn over their ENTIRE working life. To ask these same Americans to pay this slush money with their tax dollars (Monopoly money for now) for...

    Blackstone results, Thoughts ?

    I don't think 25 PPM of iron is necessarily high for your engine. Deviations from norm are more important As for a potential slight timing cover gasket leak , look for any crusty antifreeze crud around the perimeter of the cover. You need to get your head right in there and look from...

    Any does or donts for installing a Roe??

    Sean's instructions are good, but if you're a complete novice, as I was, I made a blow by blow job journal with some pictures if you're interested. It clarifys some parts. I've shared it with many. You might find it helpful Steve

    How many graphite colors? comparison?

    The 00 steel gray is a tri coat metal flake which changes color in different conditions. In bright sunlight, it is more of a light gray, in normal light it is more a standard gray, like the 02 graphite. In overcast or dusk conditions, it clearly looks gun metal blue. The different shades are...

    Poll...Least Desirable Viper Color??? (a REAL poll)

    Steel Gray and Graphite are definitely not the same color. Should be a separate category. Steve

    Why no more bumble bees?

    Thanks. The mini Viper is not affected by the go pedal, but it negates use of the ash tray for any storage as it will open only slightly before hitting the car. A small price to pay ;) Steve

    Why no more bumble bees?

    Thanks. We don't get to use the banner much because with any wind, it becomes sail like. So saying, I see I missed the Zero Altitude Flight pedals on the banner. The Viperware is the rear cargo mat. We even have Venzano floor mats with the same Sneaky Pete from the seats on the mats. The...

    Why no more bumble bees?

    Alexarz, you are exactly right about the wheels. This was not really a staged picture in that it was taken very quickly at our annual MCVO wine tour in Traverse City a couple years ago....about 330 miles from here. We arrived at this particular winery for a tasting/tour and I noticed the nice...

    Why no more bumble bees?

    They're all nice, but the GEN II will always be the classic Viper with the hourglass shape. I have the power 'problem' corrected to 08 standards, if only I could stop as well. Steve

    What Size Belt for 8LB Roe?

    I picked a spare belt from the local belt place in town -- same belt as listed above by Larry for $20 bucks. Very reasonable! Steve

    Pulled over for race car on street

    We've never been pulled over in our 'old' yellow/black ACR...and it definitely looks like a race car. Come to think of it, I guess it is a race car. In 9 seasons of Viper driving and close to 90,000 miles I have learned that all Vipers run the risk of being pulled over for all the reasons...

    Anyone have a hard top stand?

    You can make a stand for virtually nothing. A couple pieces of 1/8" X 1" flat iron. Bend up accordingly so you can attach to your garage wall, wrap with a good cushion of weather stripping and that's it. There are some old threads on this, but this type of bracket has been working the last 8...

    Were you into Mopars before Viper

    Yup. Our first car. 1951 Dodge Coronet, flathead 6, fluid drive. Steve

    worth getting a gen 2 ROE SC?

    The dyno sheet I posted above here is from your 01 Bumblebee brother. Basically the same set up and a light flywheel. It's a little stronger now than then. There is absolutely nothing wrong with adding fuel at 5700. No need to be above that with the Roe. I agree with Ted about the power factor...

    Roe PS Pulley and Bracket installed

    It was no easy job on ours, but a worthwhile upgrade. Damn Yankee has very well illustrated guide on this in the How To section. His was done at the Wizard's facility. Funny how different things go better or worse for everyone. Putting the SC belt back on was a matter of minutes for us. The...

    worth getting a gen 2 ROE SC?

    You should be able to hear the whistle around 1200 RPM while cruising through the hood. Both our cars whistle nicely at that RPM. 4th gear with the 00 and 3rd gear with the 01 Go to the GEN II tuning section on this forum. There is lots of info about all this. In a quick nutshell. A wide band...

    Here's a clip I found. It's been around for a while. Sounds like Belanger headers to me. Supercharged Viper- Video Steve

    worth getting a gen 2 ROE SC?

    Any VEC box with firmware update 5.108 and a box number 682 or higher has all the tools for proper cylinder trim. Our 00 car was box number 715 bought in 3/06. so I guess it safe to say that the rich back cylinder issues have been resolved for almost 3 yrs. Our 00 blower was a 6th production run...

    worth getting a gen 2 ROE SC?

    That is one strong engine Tony! Here is a dyno sheet on our 2001 Bumblebee. We bought this car as is. I was unable to log when we bought it as the original VECs didn't have that capability. I upgraded the VEC and added the WB set up. My initial logs showed these dyno numbers were achieved with...
