Are there any known differences between Greg Good heads and Striker heads? From a performance and/or quality perspective? Also, the 08 heads will fit the Gen 3 Vipers, anyone planning to swap to the Gen 4 heads?
those mods are like $35,000 right?
The car would have performed better and more consistantly on hot/humid days.
Wow! That is very interesting! I do understand that the cost to rebuild the motor to get 666 rwhp can be very high compared to the Paxton, but it might be worth it. Who would you use to build you a 666 rwhp n/a motor? I see some really good numbers from one particular tuner's site that is not very popular w/ members here, who does reputable work?666rwhp on a NA motor would absolutly crush a my Paxton Viper putting out the same HP. Becuase you'd get much more HP and torque down low and a much better and higher power band.
If I had to do it over again, I would have spent the Paxton Money on Heads, Cam, Headers, Vec3, and whatever else I could have gotten.

This is the way to go!! I would prefer to get 800 hp (696 rwhp) and get used to the car and see how it helps improve my driving experience and shuts down all reasonable competition while keeping a relatively sane car. For all you guys that are modded, hell, 505 rwhp is still sick power for the streets, at least in CT. 750 rwhp is overkill or a death sentence up here in the congested streets of the North East! I have held my own in my few street fights (07 Porsche Turbo gave me fits but I protected the snakes honor) w/ my estimated 580 flywheel hp. I am sure I can demolish almost all except fellow Vipers that have crossed over to the dark sideExotic Engine,
Call Kevin Singleton. 951-545-8223. Kevin builds race engines for European Viper owners and many others. He also builds some mean street stuff.
He built my 535 ci Paxton motor. It made 700 hp / 700+ tq N/A on the engine dyno with a low 9.6 to 1 compression ratio and a blower cam. If we would have gone N/A and installed a bigger N/A type cam and more compression, we could have been closer to 800 hp at the flywheel.

w/ 800 flywheel hp!
Everyone is telling me to go to Pro Line racing, they actually build engines for other reputable tuners. I think you WILL have reliability issues if the wrong builder builds your engine, I have read about that too. There is a builder/tuner named after a cognac that has built some n/a engines w/ known problems, at least that is what I have read. I am calling Pro Line Racing for my engine work.
Kai, we both have 04 SRT's, I was shocked that I sprung an oil leak under basically normal "hard driving". I am not sure of the damage yet, but Tator will let me know soon. How did you blow your engine and what exactly was damaged? And, how will you prevent doing that again?
