Hey guys, i have an 03 viper that i want to make a little faster. What are a few things i can do? I baught the sled a few weeks ago, it came with a heel cliker set up and a mbrp silencer.

kunomofo said:I have an 02 Viper and it is clutched, its plenty fast, but its a delayed torque compared to the 01 SRX I have. The top end on this Viper is very near the SRX now.
I had thought the quick torque on the SRX was mostly due to the triple pipes so guess my point is -and please correct me if I am wrong;
When you want more "speed" - if you want top end -then clutching - but if you want off line torque (general quick responsiveness to throttle really) wouldn't that be going to triple pipes on the Viper?
staggs65 said:the triple pipes actually make a narrower power band on the Viper. but it's a lot more power for sure. also a lot more gas to burn.
the srx is just a "torkier" (is that even a word) engine by nature. besides the triple pipes it also has more rotating mass in the crank, different port timing, different ignition timing, it all adds up to a different animal all together.
