Very nice!!! I just installed my gears (355) and still waiting for my coil overs (hurry up Steve) love to know your thoughts on the (373) gears. Your going to love the aluminum flywheel.
Pardon my ignorance but how much difference does a aluminum fly wheel really make? Is it really that noticeable? If so how/why?
Thanks Tim! Just to clarify, Im just going with the ACR paint look. Im not doing the rear wing or the canards. I just love the ACR splitter!
The shop that is working on my car works on a bunch of ACR'S and comp-coups that their clients race. They also act as a pit crew at a lot of these race events so they have a TON of **** laying around.
From what I hear its a big difference. Less rotating weight so your able to rev up your motor a lot faster. Kind of the same feel as getting more HP. The RPMS just want to rev up!
Plus all 2013 Vipers have them
I'd be interested in one of those ACR splitters if they have another one. Do keep in mind if you add that splitter a ton of people will give you crap for it. That front splitter will create down force on the front end which will in turn take weight off the rear tires, then boom your spinning out. Of course everyone is different but I think if your hitting 150mph +/- is when this starts to take effect.

Great info guys! I hear people talking about them but just can't justify the money for the whole "what if" factor. If the motor truly revs that much faster it sounds like it would be a lot of bang for the buck. I'll keep this in mind if I ever have to change the clutch. Well when....
The car is going to look awesome when you are done.
3.73s are going to be interesting after you're done with your build. Found out I have a 3.73 on mine and that explains a lot. 1st gear is pretty much useless. I can't keep traction at any speed. And 2nd only only hooks up if the weather's warm and asphalt is perfect. And that's on a stock motor. I do have an aluminum flywheel though. Can't imagine what you're going to get with SC or TT.

I did 3.33 which was I think is perfect. At the same time I did the giken which truly is amazing. Keeps the viper pointed straight!
I see your in the bay. So am I. What city are you in?
I'm in PA. You?
How do you like the new gears???
4. Install the ACR splitter
FWIW, I did notice in one of the latest editions of Viper magazine that SRT did advise against high speed driving with the splitter installed with the rear wing not installed. Might be something worth thinking about if you are hitting the track.
Looks great!
Can't wait for a proper photoshoot...with some tire shine
