ViperBing,
In addition to what has already been mentioned, I would also recommend you make sure you have the car aligned with you in the driver's seat with the pressure you intend to run. I would recommend you running the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall of the tire. I have run a higher pressure than what I normally run(which was 32 PSI front 30 PSI rear) that was on the car when I had it aligned and the car felt different{not as good} at the same speeds than with the alignment PSI.
I definitely recommend a smooth, 3-4 lane wide open surface preferably with no entrance ramps. A surface that has truck ruts can be difficult under certain conditions at regular highway speeds. Do not even consider such a surface.
Also, keep in mind a Z-rated tire is an antequated measuring stick of a tire's top speed capabilities:
==> The Z-rating(150+ MPH) came about when they thought cars would never go much faster than 150 MPH. Obviously they were wrong. Since then, there are now W and Y-rated tires. A W-rating is good for 168 MPH and a Y-rating is good for 186 MPH. All MXX3 and Pilot Sport and Pilot Sport Cup tires for the stock Viper tire sizes are Y-rated.
I would also recommend taping the hood shut and removing the foam seals that seal the wheel wells to the hood. I lose those damn things all the time!
Get a 6-point harness installed.
Make sure you wear a helmet and nomex racing suit.
Have a fire extinguisher on hand.
Make sure your tires are fresh ie a relatively recent manufacture date.
Have all suspension bushings checked.
Grease all ball joints.
How much RWHP do you have? How long are you planning to stay in it? ==> I noticed you have a supercharger, I would make sure you have a dual wide band O2 and EGT sensors on the #'s 9 and 10 cylinders which usually run the leanest.
Do you have an upgraded fuel system to accomodate the extra powe rassociated with the roe Blower/8# pulley?
I would also ask Nadine(from the UK) I know she is going to do or has already recently done some standing miles with the Roe Blower.
Oh yeah, GOOD LUCK!
