Everything. Stryker heads, I'm sure a custom cam, probably a bit higher compression, motec, drysump, etc.
Stock block, stock intake manifold, and looks like stock throttle body, probably a stock crank. But my guess is thats about where it ends.
Honestly not wild HP for an N/A Viper, but one that will run wide open for 1k miles through the desert needs to be taken on differently than a 1/4 mile car. Quite a few N/A cars have put that power to the wheels with less mods, so this is for sure a mild build. Heck they didn't even break 6k rpm.

Thanks for the information. Is www.Viperalley.com one of the better Viper forums to get good information?
If you ask a dumb or noobish question, they will hang you out to dry and you'll be done for from the start.
What are you looking for? Shoot me a PM if you have any viper related questions, there isn't much on these cars I haven't taken apart and modified at some point in time.

Anybody who has spent any time in the desert racing these things can appreciate the abuse they have to take.

Damon, when did you do the Wide Open Baja tour? Todd Clement and his wife are both amazing guides down in Baja.
These cars are going to be punished this year. The course is just around 1200mi. That is 1200mi of drastic elevation changes, holes the size of VW bugs, cows, spectators, federales. It is going to be one hell of a race.
