Met a nice Viper owner last night

[mopower1958]

Last night the wife and I went out to a local cruise in. I had heard about a FAST blue Viper from my connection at the Dodge dealer. So we are walking around looking at cars and I hear a car coming in that has a sound all its own. I see the tag as it goes around and parks,1FSTSNK. My wife and I walk around and meet him and of course I start asking questions. Its a Gen II engine, had cast pistons,ported factory heads,cam was ground by comp cams .606 lift,around 235@ .050 on 114 centerline. Specs on the cam are approximate,anyway this thing with a 150 shot ran a 10.1@135 at the V10 nationals in Florida a couple of years ago. Fastest pass on a cast piston motor at that time. Since then he has put forged pistons in it and changed some other stuff but still has the stock clutch in it. Very nice guy and his car sounded awesome,that is the sound I want from a cam change.

Sounds cool. I'd love to do cam and heads if it weren't such a pita...

Though I am thinking about roller rockers. This seems like a reasonably easy way to pick up some power, though I think rockers are a bit pricey? Also have to find out if they would agree with my Stage2 Flash and my other bolt-ons. Someday...

Some of those Vipers that have been worked on sound wicked. I wish we can get our trucks to sound like that.....

I was at the Bradenton Nats a few years ago... some sick quick Vipers there....dug up a few pics....
Not sure if one of these has him in it or not.
