I did a lot of research on the Paxton blower and those who install them and some of you have been very helpful with your suggestions especially Ab(Adam)in Crestwood Ky. Their are some great tuners around but I went with DLM. Doug is a great person and he is certainly a great tuner if not the best. I feel extremely comfortable with Doug doing the install. He kept in touch with me with every step of the way and was and will continue to be there for any questions or concerns. Top notch honesty and integrity. All his systems are built bullet proof and he backs his product, no matter how long you have it.
These are the things that DLM installed
Paxton SC including most of the level 1 system
Split Second Computer System
New Damper
Large DLM Intercooler and Pump
Light weight Fly wheel(spec)
Exhaust changes(DLM exhaust system with HF cat)
Boost Gauge
Raptor Shift light(mounted on pillar)
Thanks to Ab the Viper had the 3.55 gear Mopar Hurst Shifter and club sport motons already installed.
Doug tested my Viper with all the installs mentioned above. He likes the 3.55 gear and the fly wheel with my set up ,especially with the new Hoosier A6 tires on the rear(345/30/19). I changed to these rear tires because I don't drive in the rain , put low miles on the Viper and needed a tire that would stick. Doug is impressed with the tires. He has spent a lot of time personally with my Viper and took it to a tuner day at a track to test and tweak. He said their was no fish tailing with the Hoosiers. They warm up real quick and stick great and mentioned that he is very pleased with the way the Viper performed.
When Doug Levin says he is pleased with the way the Viper performed I knew I would also be pleased .
Since I have ,with other cars, used slicks at the track and on the street I know what to expect. Tire mileage will not be good but this is the price I will have to pay to gain a very sticky tire. With my set up and what I want to do with the Viper the tires are a good choice but I would not recommend the tires for a Viper that will be driven in all kinds of weather conditions. Also I will have the clear 3M installed in different places to help keep rock chips at a minimum.
I got my Viper back and for the past few days I have been doing some testing. Wow-what a neat install. Ive had high HP cars before but not like this one. The Viper performs great with the DLM SC install and tune, like a sling shot, and below 3200 rpm the Viper is much quicker. The 3.55 gear and light weight fly wheel and tires complements the SC and really helped my Viper to perform, I think, even better. I had some questions about the 3.55 gear and fly wheel but Doug told me to just wait and that I would love it. He was right.
The Viper sounds great at idle and very little lurching at the low speeds with the fly wheel. The DLM exhaust has that good low pitch rumble at idle and when you go WOT hang on and the exhaust sounds mean and no drone.
I cant say enough good things about the DLM SC install and the Hoosier A6 tires on the rear. A great performing sticky tire. I even tried the Viper out in the rain and as long as I was careful everything was ok.
Here are some pics of the Viper with the SC-tires-boost gauge and raptor shift light.
