i dont make it up to the city super often but ill definately make a trip up there to see this thing on the street.
im am sorta curious tire wise as well because ive heard those vipers get nasty with some juice and make monster torque as the shot goes up.
any plans on a tire for everyday driving and still hooks decent when ya wanna thrash it a bit?

Hoosier DR's. The ONLY 26" tall 335mm DR I can find for a 17" wheel. I wish M/T made one. The car is a weekend toy so I'm not too worried about rain. Also, on the torque, I'm hoping the progressive will control it on the hit, it'll get the 100's most likely on the hit and ramp up to the 250's over 1-2 seconds.
Lol, you jinx me all the time! I'm going to come up there and pinch your fuel lines! Lean mean detonating machine!

250's, and I bet you're right, lol. I'll get some results up hopefully this weekend. My tuner was learning the VEC III system today, took a few steps back before we went forward but he's got the hang of it, A/F looks MUCH better NA so far. I'll probably get the bottle filled Friday, he should be done with the tune N/A tune by then and finishing up the plumbing and hoping for the hose pull on Saturday.

, but im going to come down early should be there around 3:45-4:00. I will be staying overnight though and should just be hanging out on Sat. Im going to call Brett and let him know im coming also, since this will be the first time ive visited XP, but he sure does seem nice/knowledge/helpful on the phone.By the way Trust are you an OU alumni? I was there 2004-2008 Chem/Biochem
Sorry to hijack the thread, its funny I was talking to Brett about your car, I kind of had the same plan of finishing out the C5 project and selling it and picking up a 96-97 Viper GTS. Kudos to you my friend

But we knew there had to be a better solution than nozzles for the guys that did not want to go directport. Thats why we started making the plate systems for the vipers. I have not had the prevlidge of tuning one and reading the plugs but I am pretty sure it is safe to assume our plates should destribute much better compared to a nozzle. Only way to know where the horse power limit is going to be is to pull the plugs as you move up in the tuning process.

im lookin into doin the whole turbo thing but i havent decided yet im still playin with the idea of spray but have you thought about the gear your gonna go with a bit later down the road?
i know that its a tough decision in a turbo car and it especially is for me being an auto car.
do ya think you might throw some more gear at it later or are the factory ones ok.
(i have no idea what they would be for a viper lol)

I actually went to UCO, so I'm UCO Alumni. When I enrolled there in 04' they had the best business program in the state so that was the choice. I was seriously considering pre-law but opted out of that idea so it was off to Edmond.
thats a pretty intense setup your goin for as far as that crazy tire and sprayin 250 its gonna pull like a freight train.

man with those gears and it bein a stick car its gonna fly on the highway.
im sorta worried about the same bproblem i think im gonna end up with 3.23's by the time i get sorted out. 3.73 is just to steep in my mind for someone like me who has to drive it and put up with it everyday in an auto car.
and besides how bad is it gonna suck if im geared out goin to the I40 in a dumped downpipe turbo car on a saturday night headin to the city to cruise lol
i kinda like my ears to not bleed
excelent car man i cant wait to see it when you have it in its prime

we dont do many dig races either we like the roll races better.
its gonna trap crazy at the track and its gonna be a monster on the highway with 1000rwhp.
the torque at that point has to be something nuts especially in a boosted setup i bet itll fry any tire at that point.
i honestly find it hard to come by people that really wanna race from a dig anymore.
and do ya think itll be single digits in the 1/4 kuz if you can get it to hook without demolishing anything i bet youll be there lol
any plans on a 2step or anti-lag or anything of that nature kuz im not real sure whats offered for vipers like that?
