The heart beat of this car is the Gen 3 Viper. As stated ealier the motor was factory new so we had a soild starting. Allot of people ask we whay a V10. Well, besides the visual impact, the V10 came with over 500Hp/550flbs from the factory. Those are solid numbers. So making our desired 650 HP would be easy without making it to radical for long street tours.
We ended doing these mods: The heads Ported, new larger stainless valves put in, Shaft mount roller rockers, a custom grind roller cam, ECU re-tune, SFI Damper, custom made Stainless headers and flow through exhaust, Billet Big Mouth Throttle body, march billet pulleys.
As for the Trans, It was sent to Rockland Standard gear and had a Tranzilla Jr build done to it. We also are putting a quick time SFI bell housing and Ram dual disc clutch in it. All in All, the engine will most likely exceed our HP and TQ goals and be very dependable.
We also had redsigned the Thermostate housing. Mostly for clearance sake, but we eneded up also getting 30% better flow through this new unit.
The engine Takes up room...she's all business up front.

These are some of the parts we got back from one of our sponsors, Kyron Plating in OH. Every part you see here was made in house. I wanted a cool contrast to show off all the peices, so I went with Purple ANO over the chrome. I love look.
