Viper Owner
This guy is selling an 01' with 612rwhp on stock pistons and rods. He is a street legal race car builder who builds both Stealths and Vipers. I made the following comment on 3si.org:

I ran 9.7@151mph on stock 3000gt cast pistons. and that’s with only 3.0L supporting ~800 wheel HP.
I know of plenty of 2000-up Vipers with heads/cam AND NOS making allot more HP then this car on the stock "creampuff" pistons. And NOS is ALOT harder on motors then N/A power is. I Sprayed my 2000 ACR with a 225 shot day in and day out, most likely close to 100 BOTTLES of NOS, I sold that car with 20K miles on it and the person that owns it now last time I talked to him he had 60K miles on the stock motor and still going."
I can't post a link because you have to be a member of 3si.org to view it.
Now from what I understand, HP and torque do have a big role in destructing cast pistons on the creampuffs, not just detonation alone, am I right? I would think 612rwhp would be about 650hp at the crank which should be at the limit of creampuffs.
He is a respected racer in the 3/S community but can he even get 612rwhp with the bolt on mods he has?
He has the following mods:
2001 GTS 14K miles
$55K
612 rwhp, 619rwtq all the time, fill it up with 91 pump gas and go.
Over $25,000 invested in mods
19" CCS 505A wheels 19X10 FT, 19X13 back
275/30R19 FT, and 355/25R19 RR Perelli P Zero's
3.55 rear Gears
Ported Striker aftermarket head castings Shaved to get 11.1 to 1 Comp
Jesel 1.7 rockers
Striker street cam
Smoth tubes
RC ported Throttle Bodies
Balenger Headers
Corsa Exhaust
Archer UD pullies
RPS Alum Flywheel
Magnacore wires
Ron Davis Readator
Roe Rad hoses
Up-graded water pump
DC Tune
Short throw shifter
Lowering springs
