one of our UK members Steve Kingshott, his selling of one his vipers a highly modded autoform 2001 car purchased from Bill at Woodhouse, it came over with around 1500 miles on the clock spent a little time here before Steve decided he needed more power.
Steve decided on NA power, rather than S/C or turbocharging. Not wanting to loose his car for to long, and to speed things up he brought a nearly new engine (off Partsrack I believe) and sent it to DC Peformance to be modded then a couple of months later put his car in a container and sent it Dan and his team to work his magic, the stock engine was swapped for the freshly worked engine along with quite a few other mods, here's some of them:
upgraded cooling system with Ali rad
custom fabricated air induction
crankcase vent system
upgraded power steering cooler
Bellanger headers, hi flow cats, 3" cat back
inconel exhaust shields
side sill vent system
AEM management
RPS carbon flywheel and pressure plate
close custom ratio performance transmission
unitrax race diffs (1000 hp rated) with torque sensing unit
Chromoyl driveshafts, diff rebuilt and strenghtened
Toe link stiffeners street/track alignment
Brakeman brake kit, SS lines
Roll bar, race harnesses
the engine has some very nice parts:
Caldwell developed built engine 488cu
Carrillo Rods
JE pistons
Blueprinted oil pump
performance bearing and piston rings
Tru roller timing train
port matched and extruded honed intake manifold
CNC ported cylinder heads with ARP studs
dual valve springs with titanium retainers
custom large diameter intake and exhaust valves
1.7 ratio roller rockers
heavy wall heat treatedpushrods of custom length
deck sufaces squared to crankshaft centerline
bores honed with deck plates
ATI harmoinc dampeners
custom resized fuel injectors
fuel pump voltage booster
Dynamometer test 650+bhp
the GTS returned to the UK and Steve has only competed in a couple of track days, not sure of the mileage but guess around 3K has been added. If this interests anyone email a phone number and i'll forward it to Steve (he's not into computers) I'm sure Dan can tell you more about the car
Steve may also be selling his prized number 52/100 white/blue GTS-R that was formerly owned by Justin Bell
