Rear Gear Modification
As I mentioned earlier, I just bought my Viper on Saturday and one of the things I know I would like to do is change the gear.

I had a 2000 vette prior to buying the viper and I made a number of changes (3.90 gear, TPIS headers, Random Technology Cats, Corsa Exhaust).

I love adding Mods but given the raw/stock power of the Viper, I am not sure if I should begining modifying again.

Any thoughts?

I personally love my 3.45's...and wouldn't go any lower than 3.55's.

Re: Rear Gear Modification
what year is your car? If you have a Gen I, I would not go any higher than 3.73's. If you plan on adding heavy mods (NOS, S/C) stay with the stock gears. Start with tubes/filters, headers, 3" exhaust and rockers (I have some in the classifieds) as the basics.
