It's me. I have a post about roll racing setup already where the video was posted. FYI the viper was tuned and headers.

OK, replay when the Z has headers and tuned. You had him for the first 100mph Vipers are a beast though.

They are having another event on 10/18 and I just msg him on FB to go. at that time I will have my halltech and diablew. Vipers 4th gear is just way stronger than ours + all my aero. Even with the extra lets say 75whp with the intake and diablew tune it will still be a good race. Also as I said later in the day I was no lift shifting which made almost a half a second difference in my ET.
Im not a real fan of the viper simply because I don't like the lines of it but its a beast for damn sure.

Even at track events you rarely run into a Viper (tuned or stock) with the low production volumes they have.

Is there any particular reason you didn't take off the stage 2 aero to make the car a stage 1?

No headers, according to the owner. Just the Mopar/Arrow replacement PCM, which is worth about 30 rwhp. I did a test on one. http://nineballgarage.com/2015/04/dy...ce-controller/

Here is the Viper owner's post:

I could have sworn he had headers also as he was comparing sounds with a TA that was stock. Maybe it was the other way around. I don't know much about vipers so I don't know what mods bring as far as power but either way a beast of a car.
Im not sure I would consider running distilled water a cooling mod or not but either way a great race and a great dude. Trying to set it up on 10/18 at the next one when I will have intake and diablew

The Arrow PCM makes the idle louder (higher rpm) and has some wicked deceleration pops, compared to stock. Just really wakes the car up. If he had headers, it would have been mega-loud, like my TA.

Here is my car, Arrow PCM and headers/catback. About 3x louder than stock.

Viper is mine... No headers just a tune by Arrow which is the engine builder. Nice try Vince

Ok so Im not crazy lol. so in that case don't do the header cuz your car sounds good already. or maybe I just want a fighting chance lol

Dyno's reflect less gains, but it's under the curve power. With the tune and the lower pulley, the car makes over 600 wheel. With a 300 shot of nitrous I should be good

Also the Z06 owner state that he didn't use NO left to shift feature! He also traps 149mph in that particular race! Later he ran 155mph.
