I don't see how in the hell you hook on those rubber bands driving on the street.

Do you think you'll gain anything if you put the stock 19s back on???

I have a friend with H/C C6 ZO6 lost almost 30rwhp from NITTO INVO
345-30-19 over stock 325-30-19 both runs were on stock Rims same wheather and same tune.




IMO you can get over 20rwhp going to stock rims.
BTW I know you dont care about dyno numbers Tony just thought I share.

Again great numbers for such low boost and great work on the tune LMR I cant wait to see some 800+rwhp.



Hussam.
I dont get it. Ive seen 10-15hp going from 3.42s to 4.10s. Changing from 345/30 to 325/30 of the same tire isnt a very big difference in gearing or weight. Something is up.

I saw screw the Paxton and go straight for the turbos.

Heat soak seems to a big problem on the street for the Paxton Vipers I've seen.

There you go.

Nice viper, I know it's been said before how uncomfortable vipers are compared to, say corvettes. I'd be interested to know if you think your viper is that far being your C6Z as far as comfort and being livable on long drives/DD-able (not power wise but ride wise)?

Viper isn't a good daily driver or comfort vehicle. It is basically like a racecar that pretends to be a street car. The Z06 is a street car that pretends to be a racecar.

Although, BigBronco (Gray) and I did do the entire Hotrod Power Tour (3,500 miles in one week) in the Viper. I am willing to sacrifice performance and cool factor for comfort sometimes. lol
