We took it on the day of your race to make a shake down run and did a 9.1 first pass ever spinning all the way 1st through 3rd <proof in the video>.
PS. You might want to have your nuts, bolts, brakes and water hoses all check before you get to the track. Just ask "Tuner X" Ron about those brakes and that fence!
You should not check those things at the track! What a JOKE!
I just can’t believe we are still going back and forth on this shit. Sounds to me like the car will be out and about soon enough. Let the new owner speak about the car and its abilities or inabilities.
It seems that the Viper community is so much different than the Supra community. Between Dana @ Virtualworks, Kean @ Boost Logic and myself we pretty much make all the turbo kits for the community. We also have the 3 fastest street supras..... well, BL's is pretty stripped but oh well.
The thing is that we get along very well. I talk to Dana everyday on the phone and I talk to Kean on IM everyday. We constantly help each other. I got Kean his torque converter as well as telling him what parts to use in his tranny to keep it together. Dana and I constantly compare notes on our cars, sharing information etc. There isn't anything I wouldn't do for either of these guys.
It seems that the Viper top tuners just don't get along? Maybe I'm wrong?

Im just busting Peters balls... I just think its kinds of funny how up tight he gets..
Viper tuners get along ok i think, I talk with Heffner, SVS from time to time. Some of the others as well.
The Viper is still an emerging market so there are a lot of secrets that everybody holds near and dear. Once all the big tricks are out, there will certainly be more camaraderie. These guys work together more than you would think from reading on the Alley. This place is all about busting balls.

Titan doesnt build turbo kits..... Nor does Nero openly share any specs on his cars which I understand.
Just for fun (and comparison), my car made 1100rwhp at ~11.5psi and just over 960 at base boost (like 8psi).
I'm guessing that compression ratio has a little to do w/ it. I am not a weak 8.x:1 comp ratio. I fear no high compression!

The new owner is not that concerned about higher boost numbers as he is with drivability so I spent most of the tuning time on that. The car runs perfectly now!
I will let the new owner know about the offers to swap for stock springs/struts. Thanks guys.
