My Viper Build *Pic Heavy*

Ahh, I see there is a gap in the build updates. Maybe I should frequent the forums more often. Every time you need to get to anything on the front of the engine on a viper (belts, alternator, power steering pump etc) the entire supercharger has to come off. During a reinstall, I discovered my factory tensioner pulley was chipped. When trying to change the pulley, the bolt broke, when trying to remove the whole tensioner, I was unable to get to the bolt holding it on with the tools i had without the nut beginning to round. I ran out of leave from work, through in the towel and had it towed to a local shop to have them reassemble it. After a few cruises, 3 of the supercharger bolts backed out. One is missing, another got jammed against a bracket and the third fell out, hit the fan and took out the radiator.

That's usually my luck! Unfortunately I never get any resolution.

Sure you do, they just blame their mistakes on us. :D It's a resolution just not what you'd expect from them.
 
I absolutely love that black and green theme! That's what I was going to do to the truck when I sold it... I had the black catch can, throttle body, intake etc... I guess I'll have to wait for the "next" vehicle as those colors would look a tad out of place with Blue/Silver.
 
I made a little progress this weekend. Should have my 3.25" pulley in tomorrow, a small bump from the 3.75" on it now.
