Here is the finished product!!!!!! Thanks Joe Donovan!!!

[Da1cop]

I got my car back from PBJ last week. To say the least, I am very happy with the work that Joe Donovan has done. Joe is a great person to do business with and a very honest and good guy. I strongly recommend him to anyone considering getting work done on their Viper. I have dealt with many performance shops over the years and none has compared.

During the first dyno runs I blew a head gasket. They were the originals so it was time for them to go anyway. The initial run put out about 750 HP on pump gas. We could of reached the 800HP range on race gas. I decided to change pulleys after the gasket change to be safe. Joe moved it down to 16psi. With this we were at 737HP!!!!!!

Also, I discovered that my car is a rear piece. I have a limited made GT2 heavy-duty block, and crank with 9/16 head bolts.

I am posting some pictures so enjoy.

ok, dude, I have one of the biggest monitors I know of, dual 20 inch monitors side by side, and your damn pictures are too big for even them.

LEARN THE REDUCTION tool, or change your links to point to the "med" version of your photos, NOT the full blown.. no one will check them out when they are this big..

Pics are too small. I can't see anything.

PS. Why would your car have a different block then stock? Did you buy the car second hand, and someone before you did something to it?

This is the block that the car came with from the factory.

PBJ and Donovan are the best! Another happy PBJ customer

Well, I wish I had that setup on mine. Congrats, VERY impressive!
BTW, I changed my head gaskets last month on my 96 RT and my head bolts were 9/16 as well. So what does it mean, I have a GT-2 engine too??? Sounds fishy to me. What is supposed to be the regular size for Gen1 head bolts?

Gen 1 = 9/16 !

great job, it looks great. Joe is the Man. I have yet to hear one bad thing about him. I love the work he has done to my Viper. Next spring, i plan on having him do my supercharger AND keeping the nitrous on it.
PBJ IS AWESOME!

Wow. Good Job!

The pics are nice but could you post a list of the details of the parts and everything Joe did? Thanks.

I live about a 30 minute drive from his shop. One of these days I plan on having Joe do some extensive tuning for me. He seems to be quite a busy person. The few times I've stopped by his place there are at least 3-4 customers or other guys hanging around bugging him about something to where I can't ask him about some of the work I want done.
