I'd like to see where the problem lies with the hood. Everything should be adjustable but if it cannot be adjusted out, I can send you a new hood under warranty.

WOWWWW...THAT is service! Thought the hood looked spectacular, didn't see any flaws/gaps myself standing right next to it. AWESOME louvres (is that the name for the vents?) in the hood, Jeff! ~juli

Jeff I am satisfied w/ your hood, I love it! No need to be concerned, you have a happy customer here. Like I said, it aint perfect, but there are several imperfections w/ the Viper in general...who cares? The hood is perfect for me and I think it is top rate, and I would not hesitate to order more stuff from you! Thanks for the great customer service!

I paid like $1999.00 for it and Tator put it in. It makes the car noticeably stiffer. Some of the roll bar actually runs behind the seats and into the frame, you will definitley notice the better cornering.
Go to autoform development website, and click on the SRT link.
Call Tator for what he went thru to get it in. It sits no higher (to me) than stock and I like the smooth black metal finish better than the stock rubbery finish.

Break-in is complete. I have tested the car against a few 500 +/-hp Mustangs and a 04 Porsche Turbo, from roll ons. I blew by both of them so quickly it made me wonder if they were even trying....
Now, back to Tators for oil change and DYNO!!

For the dyno I am going to the place that is about an hour west of Chuck's shop in NY. The guy's name is Kyle who owns the shop.
I just got the car back from Tators for the oil change and after break-in service...they checked everything, spent like 3 hours going thru the car w/ a fine comb...and of course they did not charge me a dime! Anyway, they loaded in the new program from Sean Roe to take full advantage of the porting and cam...geez...the car is unbelievable! She has so much torque the ENTIRE car twists under hard throttle! It feels like a really good balance between power and traction. I can still hook up pretty good and accelerate like a ninja!
Hey Tony and Mike and Julie, I will call u guys before I head out to the Dyno, maybe we can make a cruise out of it!
