Has anyone done the Mopar race exhaust and race engine controller? What does the race engine controller do? What kind of HP/TQ numbers? How is the install - easy-hard? Thanks
I put the Mopar race controller, exhaust and a cam in and I did have problems with the ac. It vented initially, the low freon caused it to freeze up after a while. My viper tech here got with DC and they decided to lower freon from 1lb to .08lbs and it seems to work fine now although, I haven't been on a road trip again. Don't have the current numbers right now, but I am taking it to get Dyno'd tonight after work.
The Scoop: I was not impressed with my drag experience, no significant improvement.
(I know it is not a Dragster, but there is a strip local and it is fun and convienient weekend fun.) I am getting 8.2/8.3 ET's on 1/8mile strip, of course my tires are gettin old, 23000 on the original equipment.
Now to the Dyno: on a local Dyno jet, not impressed either based on what I was told to expect or what I actually expected - Max pwr 456.9, Max Torque 467.6 and it looked to be rich at 11.5.
I do not fully understand all the numbers but I was definatelly expecting more as was my Viper Tech based on what DC told us (cough/choke 700HP). I was definately not expecting all of the 700 but would like to have seen 600. If I do the math right, at 15% I believe I am getting 525 at the flywheel. I am going to find another place to Dyno just to get a second opinion since we are not confident with where I brought it for this one. If anyone can tell me some place reasonably close to the Florida panhandle that Dyno's Vipers I would like to know.
For that matter, can anyone that understands the benifits of the race cam, tell me what I should expect with this setup? I copied the page from the performance catalog that gives the cam specs.
The DC performance flash may be good for 10-14 rwhp on a basically stock car(like mine) that only have K & N, and Corsa(with cats). my numbers were almost idenical to "05Viper's" i made 456rwhp and 480+rwtq
