I read this in my new Car and Driver mag and had to post the story here. Would a Viper respond to airflow like this car did? Should we re-think how we dyno our cars and how much power they really may have? What about that VIPAIR that elite sells , could it really help at speed? Read this and post your thoughts. http://www.caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=4&article_id=8020 (READ BOTH PAGES)

What about the BIG FAN?

Sure thing, it is 5'x5'x5' and produces winds from 45~65mph. I got it for a steal over Dinan's; $3600.

Will you try to replicate this with a Viper on your Dyno with the big fan?

It'll be installed by late August, after that I'm going to invite all Texas Vipers over for some free dyno time and playing on decommissioned Air Force runways. /images/graemlins/drive

That sounds great. I will bring my ghetto Aussie, It would do him some good to hob-nob with royalty.

Yeah yeah, all Aussies are great, doesn't matter. /images/graemlins/smiles

As for your question about the rear lifting, Matt pointed me to this.

Well it's designed for Mustang dynamometers and for "high horsepower applications". It'll handle 1475rwhp so it must work somewhat.
