Hey guys heres my dilemma. The very first viper I ever drove and put over 300 miles on over the course of 2 months was an 02 GTS ACR with a ROE supercharger..... So now I was able to purchase my first viper and would like to know what I can do to get the most from the NA engine. Injectors? does anyone make an upgraded side exhaust? how much power can I get from this baby without dropping another 30k into the engine?

 

Roe GEN I exhaust and VEC III

Smooth tubes

 

B&M shifter 3.55 gears

 

If tires are original no matter how much tread is left replace them

 

Replace head gaskets if stock, new design, old ones will fail sooner or later.

 

Check coolant level, over flow can be seen in front wheel well passenger side, this is a common thing to over look in Vipers

 

Advise.... Have the car pointed straight before 'applying'power when on the road.

 

All of those mods, if you get headers will run you about 4.5K not including tires or gaskets.

 

After owning 5 Vipers I'd say the amount of money spent on small mods doesn't pay off for the small gain you'll get.

 

Thanks guys. So after a long talk with Chuck Tator here's what I'm doing. I love the ROE supercharger so I'm setting up the car for it by doing 1.7 rockers and an ROE exhaust. From that point i can basically bolt on the supercharger (after coming up with the $8k for it). I was tossing the idea of going twin turbo but i know i would end up breaking the car on a consistant basis. I'm also loosing the stock 17" wheels and going with the 19" rear 18" front setup. does anyone know if i should change the gearing after that?
