As some of you know, about a month ago I sent my car to arrow, working with Andy and viper exchange it just made more sense for me to send the car to Michigan rather than pay for the shipping to and from TX and back to NY. The guys at Arrow were great, constantly sending me build updates, pictures and videos to my phone, They always answered my phone calls and text messages.
So before this my car had the ve heads and cam package with American racing headers / no cats and their titanium race catback and ran a handful of 10.0s at 141.x....Since then I installed and nth moto clutch, the 2 piece rotors and have the dse battery kit...I'm really hoping to get back and click off a few 9 second passes at mid 140s...
So yesterday my car made it home from the 10 hour trip...I took it for a little ride last night, all I can say is holyyyy TORQUE!!! The best way to describe it is it feels like you're a gear lower than you really are, and almost reminds me of turbo cars iv been in...it pulls hard threw the entire power band, and when you grab the next gear it pulls just as hard! So far I'm really happy with it, as I get more seat time I'll be sure to update everyone. But as I said earlier, it's a torque monster that doesn't stop pulling. Thanks again Andy and everyone at arrow!

Fantastic initial impressions by the sound of it! Look forward to hearing more as you drive more frequently.

This is possible the next logical step for me with my car. I love my heads/cam setup and I can totally see myself loving this!! Good to hear your review.

Much respect to you guys who have the ability and self control to stay NA with these cars.
If you get a chance to pull it on a chassis dyno, all of us would be much obliged!
Congrats! I'm thinking about going this route for longevity/durability in addition to performance.

Sweet! My gen 5 feels sluggish after my boosted gen 2. I want to see the dyno numbers!

Please give some feedback after you get ~1 K miles as far as around town livability,how All engine gauges/temps are staying in line,traction issues,lol etc.. I know you did not build it as a daily commuter ( no sense in that) but more of a wicked street/strip car. Does the power benefit using it as a pure street car or do you plan to use it more at the drag-strip? Finally what would this package cost on a stock Viper and what kind of warranty do they offer for those wanting to go this route?

Bro, once I owned the C6Z I kinda ended up appreciating NA power way more than turbo cars. Even though I thoroughly enjoy my Supra I definetly appreciate having an NA car. Hence the lineup.. one is Turbo, one of them is supercharged and the Viper is NA.

Great post and feedback. We had the exact same setup. I'm running Arrow Stage ll, VE titanium catback with no cats and ARH headers. It seems like a solid value for anyone but especially those who have the stage 2 done as it seems to really give more ROI. Main reason I'd like to add it is for the low end useable power you are describing. I'd have to get the nth carbon clutch and figure out a stickier tire after. The car as is already can be tricky. Thanks for posting this as this also seems to be my next step.

This car thing is a blessing and a curse at the same time. It never ends with this sickness.

I hear that. Was recently talking to my local gun shop owner and my cars don't even register with him. He's not even being dismissive of my cars it's just he's on another level. 918 spyder, McLaren 675lt, gt3rs, aventador giant 8 car garage. The jelly was real. He made the point that the next guy is picking out his next jet, help, and yacht. It's those that appreciate what they have that are truly happy whether it's a mustang gt or ford gt. Ironic conversation after unloading 100 rounds and getting a vault deagle haha. Nothing better than talking cars and guns on a Sunday. We all are lucky to even own this special car.

I should have my car back soon. It sounds like I'll be very pleased with this "update !"

Crap, he must sell a hell of a lot of guns.
