<FONT face="Comic Sans MS">Pretty impressive looking, but I gotta ask, how do you handle the underhood heat?!</FONT f>

Looks beautiful! Good luck

All I can say is that Kenny Duttweiler? and Haltech? Those are some impressive names. $20K? Thats still a lot of $$

 

[THEMASH]

hmm..... would be nice, try to get it in the 12-15K range.

 

[Martin D]

I think there would be interest. Cost to me depends on power output. I would pay 20K for 850RWHP +. But that is the limit.
You can do heads and cam and a 200 shot for less than 20K and have close to 800 at the tires now.

MA MA.

Ooooh lord that is sweet .

 

[Martin D]

Thanks for the additional info Jim.
To get us near 800 at the tires we are going to need 900 at the crank. In addition...I can not speak for John, but I do believe the way they get 800+ at the tires is with the additional flow in the heads and the increased exhaust duration with the upgraded cam. I think you guys are on the right track. Now 15K for 750 - 800 at the crank is not bad. If you can do it.

Good luck!

batbon it looks nice.

Stock Vipers are at 400 to 450 stock unless I am COMPLETELY wrong I am sure someone will let us know.
Venom Pkg is way over priced with the technology and pricing out their now.

50% increase of say a 430 HP would put it at about 645HP for 20K which would make it pretty expensive $93 per HP. 215 HP for $20,000

A ******** NX kit can give you an extra 150 HP for a few grand.

That looks sweet. I cannot however see how that would even FIT in the engine bay of a viper.!!!
Sweet looking corvette though!!

It can be done. To bring the headers over the top just remove the A/C, coolant expansion tank, steering shaft and power steering pump. Then when you dive under to return the exhaust to the rear simply remove the oil filter and lines and since there's no A/C you won't have to worry about those lines. If you don't like that scenario, you could opt to keep the "accessories" and use 3/4 inch primaries and a 1&1/2 inch exhaust.

Obviously, I'm kidding about removing all that stuff but they will all, at the very least, need to be redesigned or moved to other locations. This is one reason why Axis engineered my system to go below. The other was heat and its proximity to the hood over the long haul, especially if there's to be any time trials, driver's ed, road racing, or anything more than just short bursts of fun. I must admit, if you want to show your wares there's nothing more ballsy than a pair of turbos crowning the engine compartment.

Ken Duttweiler has done turbo motors for years, he is a true marvel when it comes to building and tuning turbo cars. If Ken has anything to do with this project i would LOVE TO ORDER ONE...

I think you will have many people interested in the TT but for $20K it seems quite expensive. I would like something like that but for $20K I will pass.

BTW John Moore how is your TT system going, haven't heard any recent updates. Thanks

 

[King GTS]

Great lookin work.

 

[Casey]

Looks great!
I agree with the majority here, in that $20k is still alot of money, but $15k or less with 700+Hp would interest me
good luck!

 

[RECOIL]

It would interest me as well.

Jim,

Seems you are looking to expanded business to the viper board, not enough business on the corvette forum?? Got to wonder with the prices of your intakes. I hope you are going to invent a new intake for the viper, guys will be lining up to turn their snakes into wet/dry vacs.

Good luck with with the turbo.

There's obviously good interest level in what you propose. We'll all look forward to hearing about your progression. Although people are hesitating about price, if you make a TT for the Viper and can deliver it at or under $20K, they'll buy it, they'll all buy it.
