Supercharged Viper Video
Car looks good but the power doesn't impress me. There's no point of reference to give a good idea of the acceleration. Better off with someone (during the day) standing on the side of the road so we can get a feel for the performance.

LOL. I don't think he was trying to impress anyone. I think he was merely putting it out there as something interesting.

Viper trannys are stronger than f-body trannys. They are both T56 setups, the Viper just has stronger internal components. No synchro problems. I just can't powershift this one on the street without going into massive wheelhop.

dam those white wheels are sexy, you have great taste man. Its rare to see a guy that knows what to do with each and every one of his cars. Reminds me of a friend of mine who had a mint WHITE on white leather '96 bubble butt vette with a LT4, and it had orignal custom painted wide *** White ZR1 wheels. White on white on white. That thing was a chick magnet and it was slammed with no sway bars or anything, so sweet.
Viper sounds nice idling with the blower.
I think Tony has been browing Viper boards enough to know that he's got to take it easy with the stock rearend unless he wants to buy that other diff.

I didn't want a polished kit on the Viper, keeping this car "all business" with a racecar theme. Hence the white wheels instead of chrome.

Was there a hand held tuner involved to upload a rough tune with the s/c kit? What was the biggest bitch installing the s/c?
I really don't know what Paxton is all about.. Usually I just hear about Maggies, Vortec and Procharger. Have fun with it!

paxton is the same as vortec or procharger. they are all centrifgul superchargers.
Whipple, Paxton, and Eaton are what i call the "Big 3" of blowers as i call them, representing the Twin Screw, centri, and roots blowers respectively. They make many of the blowers that other companies (such as magnuson, vortech, KB, etc) use to make their kits.
