My Viper is off To Viper Exchange for Heads & Cam!!

KB, your car looks amazing in every pic you post. I imagine it looks even better in person.

Are your stripes stock? The reason I ask is your stripes look wider than other Gen V GTS stripes.

[KB Viper]

Is the new clutch in prep for NO2 ? I thought the stock clutch was good for H & C ?

you are correct, stock clutch is fine for H&C. Andy is working with Dick to have a Arrow calibration that is is set up for a 200 shot. The plan is once the Nitrous is armmed the PCM will pull timing and you are ready to go.

Yeah, it looks awesome. it's actually GTS R blue. It looks almost black in the picture. I looked at this car several times when it was on the showroom floor. It really stands out. I think the OP convinced them to swap out the wheels it had with some matte sidewinders. That made it look better too.

Yeah I had the dealer in LA swap the hyper sidewinders to the black sidewinders as part of the deal.

Well they got the car on friday morning and by yesterday they were basically done, just wainting on one pigtail for the 2015 TB to be connected which should arrive today. Heads, cam, clutch and heat shielding all done, I'm flying out this morning to Houston to drive my hot rod back home!!!!

[Chipster]

Congrats! That's a long drive

[Evan@D3PE]

Damn that got knocked out quick! You coming to the track this weekend by any chance?

[FLATOUT]

Kris, new window regulator went in this morning and both pigtails came in for the new throttle body connectors so we will get that knocked out today and get the hood back on and fire it up. We'll put if through a few heat cycles and make sure everything is good to go. Look forward to seeing you on Friday when I get back from CAAP.

KB...do you have the VE lowering caps installed with the tractive suspension...thanks...

KB...do you have the VE lowering caps installed with the tractive suspension...thanks...

I don't think you would need lowering caps with adjustable ride height coil overs.

[Rapidrezults]

KB...do you have the VE lowering caps installed with the tractive suspension...thanks...

There are no caps with the Tractive suspension. They are ride height adjustable.

[Crotalidae]

Thank you both for the responses...

[Aspirations57]

Nice, keep us posted on the new power plant.

i picked it up today and will be starting my journey back to san deigo tomorrow morning. i've only got 40 miles with the H&C package so not much feedback. the car definitely feels much stronger and sounds amazing. two things i did notice immediately; first the motor has that smell of being new where it is burring off breaking oils which is cool and second, the heads and cam calibration doesn't have the decal pop like the original stage 1 arrow controller had. not having the decel pop bumbed me out so much i left my spare PCM with Andy and he's sending it back to Dick to have him reflash it with H&C calibration adding back the decel pop. I'm not sure why so many complained, to me letting off at 4k and herring it pop all the way down to 1500 is special and fitting for suck a bad ass car. So if anyone has the stage 1 calibration and loves the decal pop like i did and are planning on getting H&C be sure to ask for the the calibration to come with it.
here's a idle video and for anyone wondering, mine has american racing headers with cats and the stock mufflers.

Sounds great! Enjoy your journey back home in that beauty.

Did your h&c calibration have the decel pop like the stage one PCM that you had in your last TA?

Nope, it was the first thing I noticed too. Not sure but since I have the Corsas on this thing it is LOUD, so I rarely even think about it anymore. I actually like the sound of the smooth deaccel again but I'm sure I'll change my mind in a few weeks/months so I'm glad you're leading the way to get it tuned back in for us!
