New Viper owner

So I have had a Viper for 24 hours now so what the most inexpensive and most rewarding upgrades? Is there a good site for parts? What is stock rear ratio and whats a good upgrade?

Parts are easy to find at a huge variety of sites. Did your car already come with smooth intake tubes and K&N filters? If not, those are pretty much the first thing everybody does.

Everything else is just a question of how much money you want to spend.

its stock

What do you want to do with it? Vipers have been around long enough that you can go in any direction -- road racing, drag racing, lots of power for the street but still very drivable -- like I said, it all comes down to your intent and how much you want to spend.

Nitrous = cheap HP/TQ
Gears
Cat Delete or High Flows
Smoothies if you don't already have them & K&N Filters

The above are the cheapest things I can think of.

Stock rear is 3.07. Most change to 3.55's.

nitrous will half life your motor though almost seems like a waste

should have bought a cobra...

j/p, GL with the new wheels! Drive safe!

not a big mustang fan but I guess the s/c cobra deserves some credit and that new shelby sounds reasonable if only an IRS

I have both a NOS 5180 kit and a Unitrax 3.55 rear set up for sale. Pm me if you want to make a deal.
