Default Re: Torque on the 2008 and Intake Manifold

As other posters have written, it's a gear issue. 6th gear is not useful for anything except for increasing gas mileage on the highway. From a performance standpoint, the Viper as it comes from the factory really has a 5 speed transmission. 6th gear is just too high. Almost no amount of torque would make it useful.

I have a race transmission with closer ratio 5th and 6th gears. It makes a big difference when accelerating hard in the upper gears.
