I'd recommend removing the stock jetting. Then remove the engine. Install a 2002-2006 sx viper engine.

^^^wah? Ahaha. Bender has jet kits on their site for these pipes. They have a clutch kit to. Buying these will save some headache

Ok thanks now do you have any idea about where the compression should be with only one layer of head gasket I checked it today and was at 130 that seems kinda low
Seems about right I think. The big question is the compression the same or Close on all 3 cylinders.

They are all 130 I just figured it would be higher than that

It's a brand new mac tools compression tester so it shouldn't be wrong

what i was refering to was that no 2 testers read exactly the same even on the same motor. those # are pretty good for a stock motor.

yea, i know wheeliemaster, he lives right up the road from me and snoprokidf6. Me and my brother (snoprokidf6) ride vipers and my buddy rides a vmax. We always bust his chops on the red head engine and to just buy a viper. He's trying to pipe it and make it faster then our vipers. If it was your yammiegod, yes i am sure that it would smoke our sleds lol.
