A pal of mine is having a radar run in a few weeks at his camp that is right in front of a lake i have a 02 viper all stock except for a mbrp can is there any clutching i can do to increase my top end or at least keep up to my buddys 05 f7?
 
I thought the savings in weight would make up for the loss in hp,plus it sounds so good with the can but i guess you cant have the best of both worlds.

Sounds OK so far. What have you been seeing out of the speedo with it?
 
Well I can tell you it's performing exactly as it should with stock setup and 1-1/4 track. There are a bunch of good heel clicker setup on here that will get you some more top end, but you've got limited time to purchase, install and tune. You'll also need a different helix to go with them. I think based on your time constraint I’d just put the stock can back on. You could also try loosening the secondary spring 10* and see if it will hold RPM on bare ice.

I won't like to you... a stock Viper will most often loose to a stock F7. Those things are fast. I ran my 03 stock Viper in a 1.4 mile radar run and lost by about 2 or 3 mph... It's not much, but the F7 will take you.
The F7 used to be my favourite Arctic cat sled, but when I was checking out that guys sled, I founf the fit and finish to lack compared to the Viper. The seat and tunnel make the F7 look like a cheap toy.
The Viper will beat all stock 600's... I didn't loose to any... and I even took 800's... Let yus know how you ran.
I did 93.6mph in 1.4 mile.
 
Well i was thinking of purchasing a kit from hauck industries a freind of mine bought a kit for his srx and he said it was like a different sled but for now since the radar run is in a week or two i think i will go with the stock can maybee i can sneek up on everyone since they are used to hearing me comming with that can lol.

It wont be on bare ice the groomer will be making a few passes on the lake sice the poker rally that usually happens on that weekend was cancelled my freind convinced the local snowmobile lodge to allow the groomer to make a few passes on the lake should be a good time had by everyone.

LOL... YamerDown, my bad! I mean't 1/4 mile! Sorry....
1/4 mile is 1350' right? I had all of my runs in the 93's... 93.1, 93.5, 93.6...
THe F7 was hitting 94-96... I know it beat my Viper, but my Viper was posting better than any 600 out there, and faster than other 700's and even 800HO's! I was extremely happy! :)

Ok, that's better. Was trying to figure out how that cat guy was rebuilding the motor that fast to be close to you in a 1.4 mile run. They don't last that long on a WOT run, lol.

As for posting better then any 600, it should IMHO, and yah its fun to smoke those 800HO. Got a few last year when I was single piped. Boy were they happy....
