The specifications and pricing for the Arrow Racing H/C package have been released.

Camshaft specification:
• Fixed billet camshaft core – 5160 heat treated
• Arrow Custom Grind
• Intake lobe is 234 duration and 0.617” valve lift
• Exhaust Lobe is 242 duration and 0.617” valve lift
• 115 LSA with a +1 degree advance
• Production 5 tooth timing wheel in Gen V position timed in lock pin position


Spring:
• Stock spring will not permit over 0.600” lift so we went to our race proven dual spring that is micro polished
• Permits 0.700” lift
• Higher load to control the spring up to 8400 rpm – required as we are running tight Piston to Valve clearance
• Requires custom spring seat, seal, and retainer

Cylinder Head:
• Increased Intake valve size from 2.080” to 2.125”
• Increased throat size and port volume (297cc / 105cc) on both the intake and the exhaust to take advantage of the increased lift and duration
• Increased flow of about 20 cfm at 0.617” lift.
• New Steel valve with back cut for improved air flow\


Lifters:
• Low travel hydraulic elite link bar lifter (0.050” total travel vs. 0.120” total travel from production)
• Required for Piston to Valve clearance control
• Fits in production machined cylinder block

Pushrods:
• One piece chrome molly thick with tapered ends to fit the current gasket and clear the cylinder head
• Stiffness required for valvetrain control (Piston to Valve)

Thrust Plate:
• Double disc ground CNC machined out of a billet of aluminum bronze plate • Oil slots machined to oil the chain and the sprocket interface
• Proven over the last 5 years in all of our racing applications

Oiling modifications:
• Custom billet plug inserted where the Oil Control Valve was to control the oil to the Front Camshaft journal and the trust plate

Calibration:
• All of the same features OF the Track Pak #1 off-road controller
• Elimination of the VVT system – Software is all developed for Lock – Pin position.
• EXTREMELY CRITICAL TO DO THE LEARN FUNCTION FOR EACH APPLICATION! (tooth error is critical as the window has no room for accommodating edge stack up error).
• DO NOT FLASH ON ANOTHER CAR AND THINK THAT THIS IS GOING TO WORK!!!! MUST BE ON THE CAR WITH THE ENGINE!!!!!!


Performance on the Engine Dynamometer:
• Flywheel horsepower 738 BHP @ 6200 RPM
• Flywheel Torque of 689 Lb-Ft @ 5100 RPM


Parts package $10,991.03 without exhaust if you have your own or you can add a full ARH exhaust for $3000 additional.

Heads and cam cores need to be returned to Arrow Racing to avoid core charges, they must be packaged and shipped without damage to avoid the core charge.

Installed pricing at one of the 3 dealers may vary slightly, but all parts pricing will be the same.

Are those dyno ratings with or without the ARH exhaust? If without the exhaust then I'm assuming we can add about 30 hp.

Can you go into more detail on this? When we send the Arrow ECU back for reprogramming, does the car then need to go to a dealer to have this learn function done? If we are doing the install ourselves, I guess the car would need to be flat bedded to the dealer? Or can you drive the car there under its own power? Or is it possible for you to do the relearn on your own?

Since the cam is different and the tolerances can vary in a 7 degree window of operation yes it will need to go to the dealer to be learned so all the parts that have tolerances that "stack up" can be learned for your car. this is why you cannot flash a PCM to one car and use it on another.

The car will start though and allow you to get on a trailer. If you live very close to a dealer you may be able to slowly drive there.

So between $16,400 and $17,000 + tax with the exhaust ? This is all a prereq for the FI 900 system ?

How did you come up with $350/hp? $10,991.03 + $3,000 (ARH Headers) = $13,991.03. Divide that by the amount of BHP gained (640 to 733) or 93 and I get $150.44/HP gained.

The tune and headers alone are getting you to 590 rwhp or 694 bhp. So the cam package gets you an additional 44 bhp (738 - 694) for a price of $249.80/hp. And that's if your tune and headers is on the low end. If you're PDV and getting 607 rwhp with tune and headers this cam package $/hp is much worse. This also assumes you install it all yourself, something most won't do. Figure in labor and again $/hp is quite high.

But wait if you call now you get a 98 HP increase for an incredibly low price of $142.77 per HP. Operators are standing by.

Sorry couldn't resist looks as if final numbers came in a touch better too 738. Either way its not horrible. These vendors aren't selling thousands of packages let alone probably not even hundreds to get their R&D money back let alone make a profit like they do with a Corvette.

And no matter what vendor anyone decides to go with for a H/C package its going to cost you around the same price. There is no way around it. These are and always have been more expensive to modify than any other massed produced car.

I also don't feel that all these dyno numbers floating around are doing anyone any justice. The only readings anyone should be taken seriously are before and after dyno pulls on the same dyno. Showing the actually increase of power. That is comparing apples to apples. Sure we all want to see a high number..... but what we are really looking for is how much power did we gain from the mods we just paid for.

Not a prereq, the details for the S/C system are going to stay un spoken at this time because it is frankly to far out to start the conversation. The packages are compatible, but there will be other details that are not being shared until it is closer to being released.

No losses the cam was chosen and profiled to give the best all around performance not a drag race only persona. Throttle response is said to be incredible.

Viper tax - I feel the same way U do

It is a lot of money no doubt, but as it has been said it is only a Viper tax because it cost so much for so few, we are lucky in some ways that we don't own Corvettes and not in others.

The other side is that this is a fully engineered and tested package just like if the SRT team were to have done it on their own, there are no tuner shops out there with that kind of resources and equipment to test it as well as Arrow did, that has to be worth something when modifying a $100k car in my mind anyway.

So a realistic gain for my car (already making 600whp with exhaust/filter/UD pulley/tune) would be roughly 30whp?

I'm specifically talking about the heads/cam package Mark posted up. With labor assuming 24 hrs @ $125/hr it's $182/hp. So my original question remains how did Murpowa get $350/hp with said package Mark posted?

ViperSmith
02-18-2015, 03:49 PM
Assuming say $7,000 for the Supercharger and all and all this isn't bad at all.

Unsure what people expected price wise but $11k ain't all that crazy - ESP for such a small market and ESP coming from Arrow, which is close to factory you can get.

I find it hard to see that a cam of that size and ported heads with bigger valves would ONLY add 30 WHP to your set up, but only time will tell.

The majority of folks may already have exhaust modifications so they are simply benefiting from the gains of the H/C package (roughly 30 to 40 hp). With a package price of 11k plus labor between 2000-2,500 not including any other misc expenses, you are looking at $350/hp

Absolutely agree - no argument there. I think the price is fair...it's a labor intensive job all around. I would have expected a bigger return on power. Maybe future custom tunes will prove that.

Not exactly. Depends on the dyno. Dynos are just tools. Not Judge, jury and executioner.

The mph in the 1320 would give you a more accurate figure of the power your making.

Your better off concerning your self with the power you actually gained before and after your mods and only on the SAME DYNO. And even then other variables come into play.

About the only thing this package guarentees is a 98 HP and 89 TQ. Those are true facts. not possibly skewed chassis dyno numbers.

Junkie
02-18-2015, 04:28 PM
Dyno is just a ballpark estimate. Lets say my car traps 135mph, with this combo would it add 3mph? 5mph? I would hope it would go 140-ish on motor.

Only time will tell. I would like to think you will see close to 140. But man it takes alot to get there soooo i dont know. My last car a ZR1 was trapping 143 and it was making well over 738 BHP.

02-18-2015, 04:55 PM
That makes no sense. I calculated the actual package cost for you above. Did you not read it? I broke out the package, headers and labor. It's nowhere near $350hp, lol. In order to reach $350/hp the package would have to cost $32,550.00 The package is for a stock GenV viper. Please break down and quantify how you reached $350/hp because it's not making any sense.

Ok, again, stating most may already have exhaust work done:

Head and cam package only (read: no exhaust) - $11,000
16 to 20 of labor @ $125/hr per your post above - $2k to 2.5k
Total - 13,000 on the low end, maybe up to $13,500

Gains from head and cam package ONLY (read: exhaust previously installed, tuned and happily running) - 30 to 40 hp

Return = $13,000/40hp equals $325/hp OR $13,500/30hp equals $450/hp.

I chose to state somewhere in between

The best people to do this are Arrow themselves. They could provide a stock dyno, PCM only dyno, PCM + headers dyno, PCM + headers + cam dyno, and finally a blower dyno. They've already done their extensive testing on these packages so they should already have the dyno files handy. But I understand why they won't, because it's going to show the $/hp gains of the cam package are worse than the other options.

I personally expected to see a $10k number for the package, but I expected headers to be included in that price. If I can get approximately 55 bhp for $4k I don't see myself paying another 10k for the next 43 bhp but to each their own. I'll do the PCM and headers and wait to see what shakes out with the blower.

That wont be accurate info unfortunately unless your using the same dyno. The most accurate is Arrows engine dyno with headers alone, which most that have mods have now. Then we can all make an educated decision and see what the true gains are between just a header car and H/C with headers and tune.

What you're looking for and what I'm looking for are two different things. I don't want what you're looking for. I'm looking for a GenV Headers/HPT Tune vs. a GenV Arrow Heads/Cam/Headers Arrow PCM. They're different solutions. Same dyno would be ideal. I'm not looking for what a header car without an HPT Tune can do on Arrow's dyno. I want to see what the differences are between the two different options. As I'm sure existing headers/HPT tuned GenV guys want to see this as well. It's pretty simple.

Well chances are you wont get what your looking for. Its that simple.

You cant take two different cars that were dynoed on different dynos that Im sure did not have the same power to begin with and think you will have accurate numbers to compare.

The closest option would be to have the same car with headers and HPT and dyno it. Then install Arrows package and dyno it on the same dyno. Not really a feasible option im sure. But that would be comparing apples to apples.

Or wait until these cars get out there on the drag strip and see what kind of mph they put down.

If the package is installed at one of our dealerships the engine warranty will be honored, there is not an established time/mileage on that finalized though. The rest of the cars drive train could be out though depending on what issue you might have. There are plenty of powerful cars out there now without issues though so I'm not that worried about it.

You still have to take the heads off so still doing the exhaust work, you might save a couple hours at most.

Cylinder Head:
• Increased Intake valve size from 2.080” to 2.125”
• Increased throat size and port volume (297cc / 105cc) on both the intake and the exhaust to take advantage of the increased lift and duration
• Increased flow of about 20 cfm at 0.617” lift.
• New Steel valve with back cut for improved air flow\
.

Is that 20 cfm flow increase over stock after the bigger valves and port work? what are the stock flows vs. the modified heads flow?

This thread is like a tale of two worlds, up to six months ago, many on this forum were crying and complaining that we did not have a 700 hp car. Now some of the the same group is complaining that we have over 700 hp.

Jack, please point to one post where someone is complaining that a performance package now offers over 700 hp. The general consensus seems to be that most individuals are surprised H/C on a Gen V does not offer MORE power.

Is that 20 cfm flow increase over stock after the bigger valves and port work? what are the stock flows vs. the modified heads flow?


Any particular reason why a head and cam set up cannot make 80-100 more rwhp over the bolt ons + tune set up? or is the OEM stock head and cam that efficient?


The flows don't show large increases because there is only so much that can be done with valve size unless you totally re work the heads to accommodate it which would add a large amount of cost to the package. They are also at the limit of lift in relationship to the piston, you would have to give up size for lift and that would be going in the wrong direction power wise for this application. This is the same reason there has not been a compression increase. If you wanted to swap pistons to a valve relief design then you can obviously do more, but here again then the package is even more expensive so trade offs had to be made to make the kit marketable to the masses rather than to a smaller group altogether.

From what I understand, the stock heads are already pretty decent right from the factory, and the VVT cam above 4,000 RPMs is pretty decent sized as well. A strong baseline gives you less room to grow...I'm sure there are some that will try to shove the biggest donkey dick cam they can in there to get the big number on paper, but they'll ruin the driveability of the car in the process.

This is great news! A bit costly but worth it to maintain a factory warranty. I have read the whole thread but didn't see the answer to my question. My question is, will it pass an emissions test? Or Will the factory computer run the car enough to get an emissions test? This is pretty much a deal breaker for me if you can't have it pass an emissions test. The car would then be un marketable when It comes time to sell it. Unless you put it back to stock, which sounds very costly! You would have to keep everything at $2000 additional and then pay someone $2500 to put everything back.

The mod is tied directly to the Arrow PCM, which is an offroad use only controller. It would NOT pass a plug in emissions test with that PCM. You also won't be running a solid cam with the stock, factory calibrated PCM, so simply swapping PCMs wouldn't be possible either.

Man I just can't decide which route to go until I see one of these packages hit the dyno. Really looking forward to see the gains on the Woodhouse dyno over one of their Bolton cars. They have dyno'ed a BUNCH of HP Tuners with full exhaust cars over there to compare to.

I have a feeling a stock cam with a real head port (not a CNC) by a big time porter will yield similar results to this package, and retain the stock cam and tunability of HPTuners.

There is no need to derail this thread - just like there is no need to make the assumptions you've made. Where did I complain about cost?

Got a chance to get caught up on the news on this package, great work by Mark J, Arrow, etc. etc!!!

To all the comments regarding costs, old threads on the vca or the alley can give great insights to costs to get Gen IV's to this level.

Low hanging fruit on the G4 & G5 vipers are about $100.00 per rwhp (headers/exhaust, ecu, G4 ported intake). After than it gets real, real pricey to get any incremental lift. (I've got an extra 24 rwhp from ported heads on my G4 for about $4,000. installed). To move the needle further for me is a cam, similar to the one in this post, maybe pick up another 20 rwhp, but then I can't pass CA smog.

If you want 700-800 hp in a viper for a more reasonable cost, go find a G3 and add s/c and built the bottom end, or spend double that and get a 1000 plus with a twin turbo.

If you want a G5 at close to 750 flywheel hp, then it's gonna cost 5 figures starting from stock. (That doesn't come as a surprise to anyone who's been watching development back from the start of G4's)


Great news with all the efforts from these guys is that there is a platform to ultimately get these motors to 900 flywheel

Well stated - getting big numbers out of an NA setup costs big money, because at some point it becomes an exercise in maximizing efficiency, which is all about chasing fine details. If you want more power out of a forced induction setup, you simply up the boost.

From what I've read, the Arrow PCM is a little more "opened up", but what I don't understand is if those parameters that have been relaxed are hard-coded in the original PCM or not.

I'd assume HPT would operate the same way on the Arrow PCM as it would the stock one, as in it would overwrite whatever Arrow had in there, essentially starting you back at square 1 (same thing that would happen if you used HPT on a Gen 4 Mopar PCM).

There are things that Arrow has access to that HPT does not, my thought (and maybe it's wrong) is that whatever those parameters are would not be overwritten if you load HPT on it. So someone should be able to do the full Arrow cam package and then go with HPT on top to possibly get a few more HP.

HPT does not have the ability to copy the tune that is in the Arrow PCM or the H/C PCM. Their base tune is what they have and it would be flashed into whatever PCM you have negating any of the good qualities the Arrow PCM's had to begin with. I was under the same impression as you all were, but it has been confirmed it will not work that way, sorry for the confusion.

There's a lot of misinformation in this thread. Let me do my best to clarify.


There isn't rolling encryption on the venom pcm's. They just don't have read enabled. For the Gen4 PCM's, we added reading code to our calibration that HPT starts you with. This also allows enhanced scanning. If you really want to see what's going on in the PCM/Vehicle by scanning, what we offer on the Gen4 PCM is simply unmatched.

The standard scannable parameter set available for Gen4/Gen5 PCM's are so limited, it's ridiculous... We fixed this for Gen4 but haven't fixed it for Gen5. Not sure if we will.


If you buy an Arrow PCM and then wish to use HPT, you will erase whatever the Arrow PCM originally had and will have to start from scratch. In my opinion, you're better off buying an HPT kit from a vendor from this forum and using one of their already tested tunes. You can then keep the HPT kit with the car for the life of the car, or give it to whoever purchases the car in the future. While you have the HPT software, you'll be able to update the tune as the modifications of the car changes.


You will not gain any more or any less power with either system. There's no magic inside the motor, and HPT gives you full access to spark and fuel.


Most of the issues tuners have with limp mode and the HPT systems are simply the tuner trying too many things. We (HPT) provide the tool, not the education on how to use it. I must say Torrie McPhail has done a pretty damn good job at finding the in's and out's of the calibration with our product.

If you push too much airflow with the HPT system, you may run into limp mode issues, even with a stock calibration. I'm not sure exactly where this limit is, 700+ rwhp? I don't know for sure. Plenty of cars are making 650rwhp range with HPT.

I believe the Arrow PCM has this limitation removed. We are working on doing the same.


There are cars running solid cams. Mine, and other Gen4 and Gen5 vehicles... and have been for a long while. My car had this done 1.5 years ago without issue. The implementation is simple. Unplug the phaser. Disable the DTC. That's it. Note: There is a "Number of Variable Camshafts" parameter in VCM Editor. Don't change that.


I'm still finishing up the throttle learn functionality of the HPT software. If you're dead set on an Arrow PCM and simply cannot get to a dealer, at a minimum you could purchase our VCM Scanner software to take care of this learn in your garage. No ETA *soon*.

If you go back to one of Mark J's comments, Arrow has indicated that the new cam will "stack" up within a range of 7 degrees, therefore, the relearn that the dealer does after the cam install is also a relearn of cam/crank positioning.

The initial mating to the car has to be done at a dealer, this lets the PCM learn the variables for each car as far as sensor range and tolerances that differ from car to car, "stack up".

I think pricing is fine if it was a top of the heap H&C package, but I'm not interested in spending that much for a CNC port with a mild cam. Now then if it does put down more HP that what they are saying then yes I might buy the package.

Based on the HP numbers I am seeing I think I could get very close with a really nice set of ported stock heads, we'll see. I remain open minded about it.

Guess I should have said it makes mild power based on the released numbers. When it comes to spending that much money on a package I just want the ability to choose what I want based on what I want the car to do, and how I plan to use it.

For instance we have a Gen 3 down here that went from 500rwhp with boltons SAE to 640rwhp SAE tuned with an SCT handheld. So a gen 3 picks up 140RWHP with a bad ass set of heads and a cam only slightly larger than this one. I will gladly drop the money on something that shows a gain of even half of that number to the rear wheels. It's hard for me to justify spending that much money to only gain 30-40 rwhp. But like I already said I will wait for the cars to hit the dyno and see what they make to the wheels before I make my decision.

No way to do this with the piston to valve clearances there are, that is why this is the max you can get it there with the larger valve without redoing everything with the heads. If you changed out the pistons then anything will fit, you would just need a way to custom tune it because at this point Arrow will not be offering anything done custom, just too much time and money to do it.

I like the sound of the package and the added security of the folks who developed, tested and produce it. Just a matter of timing for me.

I'm fortunate enough to still have my 96 when excessive power is needed.

Happy to have you guys use my car as the mule for the supercharger kit :) I barely drive her as is.

"I'm still finishing up the throttle learn functionality of the HPT software. If you're dead set on an Arrow PCM and simply cannot get to a dealer, at a minimum you could purchase our VCM Scanner software to take care of this learn in your garage. No ETA *soon*.

The initial mating to the car has to be done at a dealer, this lets the PCM learn the variables for each car as far as sensor range and tolerances that differ from car to car, "stack up".

I have quite a running list, and prepaid cars. I got our first set of Test Heads and Cam yesterday. These are right around the corner guys. Spoke with the folks at Arrow yesterday and you can tell how proud they are of what they have put together. I got my car on the dyno Thursday for the baseline and we'll start the install on Monday.

Get ready :D the ViperExchange/Arrow package is going to be awesome!

Will do, this is one of two pre production packages not meant for customer cars. Same exact cam specs, valves, valve train,and port work as the production versions. We are finalizing install instructions and the final calibration and then we're literally off to the races.

I'll see what pics I can post ;)

If this heads/cam package hits at least 650rwhp, Arrow is going to have a hard time keeping up with the demand. Should help sell a few new Vipers as well.

They (Arrow) hit 650 SAE on a Mustang dyno in the ViperExchange owned mule car that Arrow has been running for awhile now. And if you purchase a new Gen V from Bernie and Courtney at ViperExchange we are throwing in a free install on the stage II heads and cam package. That's a 740hp NA Viper with a 12 month/12,000 mile warranty if installed by us at ViperExchange. Going to be a wicked setup.

anyone have any idle clips of a viper with headers and a cam with 115 lobe separation? I'm trying to get an idea of how much lope these beasts will have with this package.

You know, maybe I'll have this package installed right before my factory 3/36 warranty runs out. This would be a fun way to get another year of warranty out of the engine. :)

It's actually much more mild than what I expected. You'd be hard pressed to tell its more aggressive than stock when I heard it at the Ohio Viper Party. I'm looking forward to the dyno results.

Here are a couple clips of the Stage 2 car here at the track with us this weekend, I like the sound and in person it is MUCH better than you can get on the video, I think everyone is going to be very pleased with Arrows work!

My car is up and running, we fired it up this afternoon. I will be getting the second test kit installed next week and we're off. The ViperExchange/Arrow Heads & Cam is going to be a winner, you guys won't be dissapointed.
