Viper Manifold Swap

[pokeytemplar]

Why not just go to the Gen 2 intake?

If that would work, cool! I know I said a new intake off a viper, but all I really was intrested in was the twin throttle body set up. Im sorry if I sound stupid, Im new to the modification talk with my truck. I have not had a vehicle worth a flip to modify since my 1993 Cobra. The Gen 1, 2, 3 , 4 is a foreign language to me, thats why I joined this forum....to learn. Plus to see if anyone has tried something like this.

Yes, it's been done.

No I am not. I have talked to a couple of people that have tested the Gen II intake on the Gen III engine. They told me that if it is set up properly, it will make more power than the Gen III intake. I don't have any photos, or exact specs. But I know it has been done.

I almost went that route before opting for the Hogans intake.

Just seemed like a lot of effing around for not much of an improvement.

I was told by a few people in my car club to swap out my manifold with a newer Viper manifold with the two throttle bodies and re-MAPP the computer. If I do all of this what would be the benefit? 50 HP? Someone let me know if anyone else has done this.

Increasing air/fuel, exhaust flow and combustion efficiency in any engine is the path to more power.

Keep in mind, the Viper engine is a performance engine to start with and most of the components (for power production) are pretty evenly matched the way they come, stock. Change stock, and you need to look at the big picture.

The cylinder heads on the new Gen IV engine are the big part of the power increase over the Gen III engine (like most have here). They flow more than the aftermarket Striker heads in the all important mid-lift region.

Have fun with your truck.

Try and make it out to the racetracks and talk to people to see what works and what doesn't and go through the archives on this Forum. There is a lot of good info here that should steer you in the right direction.
