Can anyone offer up a reputable Viper tuner or performance shop in the Sacramento/BayArea? or even an individual who works on the side that knows their Vipers.... thanks guys.... just got the Viper, and have a list of "to-do's" to GO FAST that I need :)

Call Ted or Al at Valaya Racing 408 448 8811. They have many years of servicing and racing Vipers. FYI 95%+ of their business is Viper servicing and modifications.

Antelope is a great area.
Fred's right, call Ted or Al about your mod's. Take it slow for a while. Vipers with there big tires will slip and slide in the cold.
Welcome to Viper World.
I will try to get a message to you when a few of us head to Fernley Race Way.

I ran into a fellow Viper owner a few weeks back who said that Valaya Racing will also arrange for a flat bed to pickup and return your snake if requested.

Looking for a tech in the east bay area as well. Vayala comes highly reccommended by everyone, but they're a bit far away. When I'm ready to add the turbochargers, Ted and Al will get a swift call from me. For now, I just need someone that can provide basic servicing and inspections. I get the feeling the local Dodge dealer is probably not my best bet.

Hey bud,

Was that your car I saw on Natomas Blvd. late Xmas eve with no plates, custom wheels and a Borla exhaust???

Either way there isn't a whole lot that Sacramento offers in the way of tuners. But I'd be happy to give you some ideas and give a hand if necessary. I've installed everything I have in my signature by my self or with friend's help in my garage.

Thought that might be you, not too many Vipers around... My wife and I were heading home in our Grand Cherokee (silver 5.9L). I pulled behind you for a minute to get a closer look but we turned left at Club Center. We live off of Autumn Meadow Ave. just past Club Center and Northborough.

My RT is actually silver. Occasionally you'll find me out on Sunrise cruising, but lately I have been wrenching on the car and keeping it out of the cold weather. I just installed my high flow cats on Sunday, and plan to do the roller rocker and pushrod install next weekend. My friends and I are planning a dyno day at Force Fed Performance on Jan. 8th. It will be the first time I have the Viper dynoed.

Let me know anytime you are interested in getting together. I don't really have any other Viper buddies in town what with the limited number of owners, but it is good to see some new faces.

Enjoy the car!

Brian

Sure thing, we are going on Jan. 8th, Saturday in the morning some time (probably about 11:00am but I will have to check with my buddy who is setting it up). The shop is off of Roseville Rd. Weather permitting of course. Feel free to drop me a PM or email and we'll hook up before hand.

ViperGTS2000,
No, I live in the bay area.
Hope you can make it to Viper Days in March at Thunder Hill. If you are not interested in driving on the track, come down and visit. You can sine up for the dinner on Saturday night, call or email Courtney at ViperDays.com. You will see every mod you can imagine. The Races are fun also. If you do make it, look for me and say hi. I will bring my Panoz (silver/blue) race car. :2tu:

By the way, can you please go to your home page and add your location?
