!!! Vipers

Haha we did put an intake, exhaust and tune on it this past weekend. Picked up 33/45 rwhp!

Then I took the Cobra out on Sunday and remembered how slow the Viper is.

RPM can work wonders on LSx engines. Another vote for Fran.











However, no amount of work anyone does will ever make any Mustangs or red Vipers fast, especially it they're owned by people named Carlo. That is fact. But RPM will still make them fastest slow ones.

sound like my decision has been made for me! lol any chance of a price quote for a torque converter shift kit and tranny cooler install, I would be supplying the parts. The only shop in DE i know of besides you guys is awesome engines down in georgetown, they built my buddies 87 monte SS with a 383 and happy juice, however theyre turnover time sucks.
