Top Speed Runs NA VIPER

come on buddy hit 109 as you told me "tuck, sit at back and pray!!!"

11

Throw some wieght at it you are over revving also. You are Turbo right?

not then now I am!!

 

[yamamarc]

I am not done yet. I need more wieght or a Dayco belt. That will get me at 9025recal which I know is where this pipe/header makes power but I think your 108 estimate is reality. I can cheat and suck straps up and 110 would be very close. I am happy. Not sure if it was Drivers or ignition but it sure pulls harder! No vibration. I cannot believe the amount of wieght I had to throw in. To me that always means power was made. It's just at these speeds you need a lot more to gain a little. I am 107 in loose conditions. My 800 cat could only muster 103 gps! That also is over revving. Good day off and I appreciate the encouragement yamamarc. Almost put it away when I saw the broke arm. Thank You

if anyone can get this na sled tuned to perfection it's you cannondale over the years I've read and watched you!!! You don't give up!!! That's a good quality in a person!!

 

[yamamarc]

Believe me. I did! I have some vids of the runs I will get posted. She never hooked on the line but it did hook up after and felt good if you know what I mean. Dang wind kept drifting the run full of snow though. I have the bug again. I can taste 110mph!

 

[cannondale27]

I got one of the Videos to go. What a pain.

Its you guys that keep pushing me! I don't like not meeting goals but do have short memory for them. Enjoy my sled so much while riding that it's easy to forget any shortcomings. 110 on snow may be more than I can chew though. But it's a long term goal. Heck I am still not done with Phazer and it's been 10 years! Lots of plans so many trails and so little $. If only eh!

Hey if I get 1 mph a year documented it will only be 3 more years! Bet the motor will still be running strong then. Can't say that about any other sled!

I've said this before and my buddies think I'm crazy but my Nytro was much faster at 4500 miles then when it was new. That thing improved top end every year, I think it was just getting loosened up.

Looks like the driver's are the key to making the Viper a true 100 MPH sled then?

No hp is. Drivers help.

have you noticed less drag when riding with your new drivers

 

[cannondale27]

Yes and less vibration.

 

[RTX]

Yes and less vibration.

So at this point, can you give us a guesstimate on what you gained in mph from only the driver swap
