Default Re: SRT Chat HERE on May 14th!

1. Can you provide weights for the various 2008 rims (just rims without tires, lugs or TPMS sensors): standard 5-spoke rim, razor and H-spoke?

2. Can you confirm that the new lug nut torque per the 2008 service manual is 100 ft-lbs versus 90 ft lbs for the 2003-2006 cars? If this is accurate, why the increase for the 2008 model year?

3. I recently dynoed my 2008 Viper on a Mustang dynonometer to get a baseline figure on the stock powertrain before doing some modifications. The average of the three runs was 529 rear wheel hp and 505 rear wheel torque. What correction factor would you recommend to get an estimate of flywheel hp and torque?

Thanks for your help and for a great car. I am enjoying it immensely.
