Hey Gerald:

Love your sense of humor and brashness. Lightened my day!

Thanks .........

I look at life totally different that most ppl. Always the funny side first. Too many ppl the other way around make the world a very boring place.

My very first rule upon being president would be to
mandate 4 day work weeks and the rest for play. ANyone working over 32 hours a week is fined!

All,
One of my notable contributions back in my Supra days was to assemble an ordered list of the performance modifications recommended for the Supra turbo, along with rough cost and expected power guidelines. I'd like to do the same here for Gen II Vipers. Here's my first, tentative stab at such a list -- please add / correct / criticise / flame / whatever, but do so constructively, as I want the end result to be a document we can add to the FAQ.

GEN II Viper performance (assume reference conditions)
Modification Cost HP (SAE) +/- 5
-STOCK- ---- 405
K&N Filters $80 410
Smooth tubes $80 415
VEC-1 $450 425
Exhaust system $1200 - $2200 440
Headers $1800 - $2500 465
1.7 rocker arms $1800 475
Head, intake, cams ~$10000 ~520
Bore & stroke $15000+ 580 - 620

Other options for performance:
NOS $2000 - $3000 500-630 RWHP documented
Supercharger $14000+ 550+, undocumented (?)
Twin turbos $30000+ 650+, undocumented (?)

Fire away!

Ben,

While I applaud your project, you START with "Gen-II at 405 HP"
The corrcet base is 450 HP for Gen-II. You then add incremental HP to the wrong base number, so it is GIGO.

Simple to correct ! Good start.

Correct, I am using peak SAE RWHP, as everyone (stock or modified) can obtain and compare those numbers.
