    Hennessy GTS Fascia Splitter Option: need pic or dimensions (want to fabricate)

    Here are a couple pics. The fascia has a series of nut plates along the front edge. If the shape of the splitter is a "D", the straight aft edge would not be attached to anything - that's a long unsupported edge. OR the splitter is a curved, maybe 8" wide piece, like a curved strip that extends...

    Ground Clearance 2" Air Lift Kit - trying to find the preCovid $750 kit I posted about ...somewhere

    This was an all 4 corners kit. Great price. Can't find where I talked about it. It is used with straight spring coil-overs. I seem to recall their website was very detailed about how to determine the fit and what is required to make them work.

    GTS w/Headers: LHS Collector O2 Sensor Wire Routing?

    I extended the wiring loom on the RHS to get a good routing but no good idea on the LHS. The O2 sensor is surrounded by frame and floor boards and the only up out of the "hole" is where the header tubes are. I'm sure others have faced this problem and I'm betting have found a solution - I...

    Roe VEC1 Technical Questions: 12v source revision, Key-On BARO, 12v Vampire Piercing Connectors

    12 volt source: It was an early 96 GTS install with the BK/OR wire as 12V source. BK/OR is 12v in the RUN position only. Roe's installation manual revised the BK/OR Run wire to the DB (Dark Blue) RUN & START wire. WHY? I can see issues with the RUN-START-RUN cycle which if BK/OR, energizes...

    Do I actually need a tune (or a VEC1)?: 96 GTS heads/cam 511 whp (but then there's 675 nitrous)

    Thinking I should have changed the title to: Is there any reason to not remove a VEC1? According to Roe website info for Calibrator in 2001: OE tune at high load is excessively rich (11.0:1) with little timing (18*), low and midload, lean and lots of timing (45*) Cam: 224* @ .050, .550" @...

    Trim Screw 06035625 Junkyard Scavenging

    They are everywhere, but it would be nice to have a Reverse Lookup parts diagram. There should be a ton of them in the bone yards. Anyone find any easy pickin's? The screw is left 2 in this pic: It holds the dash trim panel under the column. It uses 4 or 5. It is a "Flat Top Washer Head"...

    VEC1 Full Grown: Split Second ARC2 (!)

    I wonder if anyone did a series of dyno pulls to plot A/F ratio and timing? SS offered the following voltage maps for their 4-knob uber MAP translator:

    96 GTS Fuses: Power Distribution, Fuse Block and Fuse Access: Where are they in car AND FSM?

    POWER DISTRIBUTION: I know where that is - above the PCM with the big threaded power stud. FUSE BLOCK: Shown in FSM but have no idea where it's located in car FUSE ACCESS: I know where that is, it's access cover is printed in white letters on the under dash access panel on side of dash by...

    Disconnecting Battery - never occurred to me how "screwed up" that is...

    I think it's something like 13 different fasteners of 4 types requiring 4 different wrenches. I wonder what the FSM says for alternator removal ... "DISCONNECT NEGATIVE CABLE FROM BATTERY..." Now why didn't I think of that...

    High Performance Billet Spare Tire Cover

  11. Tom and Vipers

    Found fuel pump cover was removed on 96 GTS modded - theories?

    This was a 1999 TNT heads/cam/headers/exhaust and a 150 shot from a NX200 nitrous all done no later than 1999. What is the most likely reason to remove the cover?

    96 GTS is this a Corsa Exhaust circa 1999?

    It's 3 inch. Back then what was available? Corsa, Borla, ... any others?

    IPSCO GTS Tow Hooks: 1) Fishing Rear Nut Plate & 2) Does Front Clear Hennessey Fascia

    Want to install. I think it will clear Hennessey but would be nice to know for sure AND how (???) do you fish the nut plate into the frame? (Does it fit thru that not-so-large round hole on the bottom?) Tried calling IPSCO today, no answer in afternoon, then busy for about an hour at the end...

    Thoughts, Tips listing 96 GTS TNT Motorsports 90k on BaT?

    It's a 1999 TNT heads, cam, headers, exhaust with other upgrades. Car has 90k on it. Could daily drive just fine as it is. The car is not perfect. It's modded. It's also a work in progress. Wondering how to approach BaT.

    GTS Dipstick: need Distance from FULL mark to top of dipstick tube

    The part number stamped on the dipstick should be 4763791AC or AD (97 to 02 - NOT 96 GTS) Thanks Tom

    Best place to tap onto battery voltage:

    Was planning on the M10 power stud on the main fuse box but saw some articles of ways to tap using "tapping" fuse adapters. Not keen on adding load to an existing fuse but something like cigarette lighter would be a candidate. Are there any unused fuse or relay stations that have battery on one...

    Gen 2 Window Regulator Clips: Now 2 Types: Which???

    The new ones have "fingers" to keep window pin in center of slot. The old one did not. QUESTION: Use "fingers" or grind out? QUESTION: Anyone make higher quality ones? (These cost $8 shipped from Amazon - why pay $20 for garbage when you can pay $8 LOL!) These are everywhere on eBay FOR...

    Gen 2 Regulator Shuttle / Clip: Are there better ones?

    They are everywhere for cheap. They seem to break. Was OEM better? Is there a better quality out there? And what are these black ones?

    Gen 2 Window Regulator Clip Shuttle Replacement: are there good ones?

    These clips are everywhere for cheap on eBay, etc. Is there a better grade available? (wouldn't be surprised the OEM used a different material like fiber reinforced nylon instead of just plain) Also wondering if I'm doing something wrong having replaced 3 LHS and 1 RHS on my 96 GTS over the...

    GTS parts manuals pdf

    These existed many years ago, I think thru Roe Racing. There may have even been CD's. I need parts manuals for 1996 and 2002 GTS: part numbers for oil pan, dipstick tube and dipstick. Thanks Tom PS. I had these but I'm pretty sure they went bye bye when my HDD crashed on my primary computer...

    Using E85 for the Nitrous Wet System - Timing Considerations

    Still trying to figure out how to pull a few degrees for a 150 shot in a 1996 GTS PCM. So far there isn't a clean solution. (I don't think there is a Lingenfelter "LNC-2000" for Viper.) Then it occurred to me if E85 was used instead of gasoline (car remains fueled on gasoline) for the wet...

    Both plugs look identical. What is the difference?

    1996 GTS fuel pump replacement options: 255 Walbro and Mat?

    I'd love to find a 2-stage pump but that is a losing proposition. Aftermarket units are not 2-stage and the OE is only 190 lhp which is pretty wimpy and very unattractive considering used prices of a module ranging up to $1500. A Gen 3 pump (255 lhp) would be a no-brainer but I don't think...

    What is a 963318 stamped 852 cast cam?

    961138 stamped on the end 852 cast in the base circle Thought it was a stock cam removed but looks like it has big lobes.
