First few mods

malken00 · April 21st, 2006, 11:25 PM

Hey everyone, been lurking the past week or two, I just bought an 03 SRT-10, and am completely new to the Viper world....

After doing some searching, I was able to find a couple answers, but I am looking for what the first few mods to do to a stock SRT-10 are, and what kind of power they produce. I'm pretty happy with the power now, so not looking for a LOT, but would like to know the options.

First consideration is the fact of wanting to keep it NA, second is that it is going to be a daily driver, third, is what mods can I get away with in California?

Thanks everyone!

Change the exhaust, lower it and add a roll bar.

Definitely.

Change to a 3.55 rear, far and away my best mod.

I have K&N, Corsa exhaust, unitrax 3.55, short shifter, and Alden Coilovers (lowers an inch but makes the ride very harsh - not for everyone).

I will probably be putting the autoform roll bar in next.

Hey Doc, would you say your Viper now feels quicker through 4th gear with the 3.55's over the stock 3.07's? Or do you think by that time (I believe 137 mph) the 3.07's are at an advantage?

Thanks

That is one hell of a signature

It's definitely quicker through 4th and it makes 5th and 6th actually usable at less than 150 mph.

As for road courses, it makes 3rd gear perfect for 3/4ths of Summit Point with an occasional switch to 5th in the back stretch if you hit turn 10 just right.

Ok, great. And I believe the redline in 4th with the 3.55's is just shy of 140, is that right? Thanks for the info, Doc.
