Visited "The Wizard" or Got Tatored

[SRTINCT]

Paid a visit to Tator's Dodge this week for the Belanger LT and Hi-FLo Mid install. Chuck and his guys are a great bunch. Got to see what they're working on. They had 5 vipers in various stages, one with a Paxton at an estimated 900hp and a Gen I getting a Roe.

They also showed me a Silver RC getting a Roe with 14lbs of boost with upgraded internals to handle the added power. Looks like they were ready to get it dyno'd.....800hp maybe on tap. Think traction might be an issue?:dontknow:

They did a great job on the header install. Needless to say the radio stayed off as I grinned for the hour and a half ride home.

Those guys must be really sharp, in know NYSteve thinks a lot of them and he is really picky.

A: I don't think traction will be an issue... it WILL be an issue
B: I'd be grinning too... bellangers... and you got high flows too ... good call... and Al Gore would be proud of you

Tator & his group have a great reputation with the Viper crowd. Unfortunately, Cerebus (Chrysler) is in the process of closing down the dealership as one of their cost savings measures (dealership too small). Even though Tators has been in business for like... ever.

Wouldn't Chuck will still operate his garage for viper repairs even without a Dodge Marque in front of the business? I have to believe that the bulk of his business is in mods and not vehicle sales or warranty work so does he need the Dodge umbrella.

You would have to ask Chuck what his plans are. Visit the VCA forums and maybe even buy a Save Tators t-shirt.

Annu,

Didn't get alot of chance to jump on it from a stop since I was on I-84, but it feels like it's pulling stronger above 3000-3500 going through highway traffic. The exhaust sound is even better then just having the magnaflow alone. Going through a drive thru they couldn't hear me. :rock:

Just put the Stage II back in since I removed it for service a week ago. Will need to test the combo of the flash and the Belanger next.:burnout:
