Viper

This is a little different kind of "Snake" than usually found here on Streetstangs, but what the heck...at least it's a domestic

Got this car a few months back, it belongs to a good friend:


'99 Viper RT/10 / 8.0L (488cid) V10 / Aluminum block & heads.
1999 was the last year of Forged rotating group, and it has the same cam and driveline of the GTS. It is a good platform to start with.

I have been slowly gathering parts and deciding on options to increase the power a little beyond the stock 450rwhp figure. Will update when I can.

For starters, I have been waiting on a prototype fuel-pump hanger that has finally been produced. I should have it in about a week. Got to feed the beast more than a single 255lph pump can deliver.



(gas-tank had to be removed through the trunk...it is not a fun job ...it sits behind the cabin, in front of and above the rear wheels)

Upgrading the fuel pump, eh? Sounds like more than a few bolt ons are in order?

Very nice looking fuel hat. They just came out with a triple hat for the cobras as well.

Those cars make sick power with forced induction. Keep us updated!
