A stock Viper cannot be "tuned", the stock computer does not have any reflash capability.

The only way to slightly "tune" would be through Roe Racing's kit.

Dyno price seems fair...if not cheap!

By the way, your e-mail address is NOT working. FYI to all board users: We have been checking e-mail addresses, no valid e-mail = no access.

Jim,
That price does sound fair. I'd do it to get a good
baseline of HP. This info will be great for future
mods like headers, rockers, headwork ect.

Joe is correct about not being able to "tune" the computer
without Sean's VEC.

I've been over at Kennedy's. They're a nice bunch of guys over there. They did a 500 HP Viper back in 96 or 97. 15K for the job. I forget what the dyno numbers ended up being. Somewhere around 550 RWHP I think. My car is going in to Competition Transmission in North Tonawanda soon. Dave Putman is a friend of mine. He'll be installing my new high flow cats and 3" exhaust from PartsRack, and a little misc. tuning. Maybe we can hook up one night for a cruise. I'm just over the peace bridge about a block.
