Looks very good to me, everything is tig welded and is SS. Its just a mock up, finishing welds and polishing will come later.
Good luck on the car, will be crazy!

Shank, I expected a little better craftsmanship. Hope it workes out and lasts.

Where is there a lack of craftsmanship? Tell me so I can tell them.

Ryan, would you like to set up your "account" for rear tires now, or when you get the car?
What interval should I be sending them? Every 2 weeks? 4 weeks?

What kind of turbo's did they end up using? As for intakes, are they doing some sort of bi-pipe to connect the two turbo's to one filter, or separate intakes with separate MAF's?

I am 99% sure this will be a standalone EMS, most likely AEM or haltec/motec. Shank, i recommend telling them to leave the dump tubes for the wastegates open (dont dump back into exhaust) and that thing will sound sick. Also, for rear tires BFG drags!

WOW! That thing has got to be insane! Now i was not the biggest fan of the previous generation vipers but like the new SRT-10! This thing is going to be an animal. Congrats, good luck and keep it safe bro! You have had a lot of beastly cars but this thing is going to be wild!

2/21/05 - Update
Viper is in the midst of tuning. They're tuning it with 3 maps - 116 Octane, 100 Octane, and 93 Octane. The first test run dyno'd 915RWHP on 100 octane, but the torque of 900RWTQ came on way too early at 2800 RPM. They said they have to shave the springs on the waste gate to slow down the boost. That was running at 12psi.
The goal is to generate 800RWHP on 93, 900RWHP on 100, and 1200RWHP on 116. Dyno charts will be posted as soon as I get em.
