    97 GTS temp seems to getting high? Help

    Temps of 220-230 degrees in stop and go traffic with AC on are normal in warm weather. There are ways to make the car run cooler, but if it does not overheat (boil over) there really is not an issue. They removed the yellow on the gauge on the later Gen 1's as everyone was worried it would go...

    Power steering troubles

    Thanks Dan for the follow-up. We had 4 of these hoses-fittings fail in the course of one month. We contacted Chrysler, filled out the warranty return forms and asked for some sort of explanation. They just kept sending new parts with the same issue. We thought it might be the groove in the new...

    Dan is right, we had numerous hose fitting failures when replacing these hoses. We ended up uses aftermarket hoses that do not use the disconnect type fitting.

    Gen V Convertible!

    Jon B is correct, those aluminum sport hoops on the Gen 3 do not offer good rollover protection. If you want to have protection for a rollover at speed you need to install a well engineered bar or cage that meets Motorsports requirements. SPT or many vendors here can offer that. For those...

    torque specs for wheels nuts, 96 gts

    I agree with bonkers, 95tq is as high as I go. The most important thing is that the the wheel studs are all tight and evenly torqued. I clean the threads on the studs and the mounting surface of the hub with a wire brush, then I put a small amount of lubricant on the studs (some disagree with...

    Wanted: Heat Shields for side sills

    We have custom heat shields made by ATP for the Gen 2. Very effective but expensive as they are Inconel alloy. The biggest change you can make for heat is getting some airflow through the side panels. We sell a really nice stainless side panel vent that reduces the heat $145.00 per set.

    Good results with GG cam and heads 673RWHP 644RWLBFT

    The car was tuned with the stock engine controller, using a SCT programmer to save 91 and 93 tunes. Other non SCT supported changes were made by my tuner Chris Jensen, who I have a long relationship with.

    Good results with GG cam and heads 673RWHP 644RWLBFT

    We recently finished a top end refresh on a previously built motor. Greg Good did the heads and cam. In the past I have been amazed at the amount of cylinder pressure and hp numbers from his combinations, compared to others we have used. This Gen 3 has 10.55 to 1 compression. The cam is big...

    OS Giken Differential in Viper

    The Wavetrac is a great LSD for the street. It wont loose traction when a wheel gets of the ground, unlike a Quaife or Tru-Trac. For the track, I prefer the OS Giken.

    Brake shudder caused by pad deposits on TA front rotors

    Scruff up the rotors or turn them. If you run the same pads you can get away with just changing them as long as there are not hot spots or transfer spots. If you change pad types then you always need to scruff or turn the rotors.
