    Diagnosis of Broken Engine

    Cam Brgs You might be right about the reasoning about cam brgs in the viper block. I do know that mopar put cam brgs in there 2.0 liter I.T. racing engines,and found some horsepower.Also,top fuel and top alcohol drag engines use cam brgs. I personally have a 91 Spirit R/T that had a head and...

    Oil Cooler

    8000hp + .. how do these Top Fuel's get to the 8000 hp range?

    Actually the engines don't burn it all. Thats why they run 2 magneto's,2 plugs in every cylinder.The fire you see coming out of the headers is the slow burning nitromethane. Its called secondary decompisition.A while back Kenny Burnstein built some engines that had 3 ignitions to take advantage...

    My local dlr. told me that filter was developed for the 08 viper.He said difference was higher burst strength and different flow rating. The new viper is redesigned, different oil pump and better oiling system along with the other changes.

    WHOLLY GOD ENOUGH ALREADY!

    I have an 05 qc,it takes 9.5 quarts with filter and thats exactly at the full mark.Also let me say from 20 years of mopar parts experience that he may have a dipstick that was tagged with the wrong part number or the 04 part number may have been superceded to a later model part number.
