    Hello Everyone!

    No doubt at this point many of you out there, customers and tuners alike, are having issues with obtaining Billet Main Caps for the Viper.

    We have decided to make our own run, the first of which being a "group buy" type sale. These will be BETTER than what is currently available, and offered in a reasonable amount of time. These caps will be machined out of heat treated 4140, a higher grade steel than what is currently being used by other Cap manufacturers. They will be held to tighter tolerances than the other caps available, and also available with pre-machined modifications for some engine builds, in less than 3 weeks- FOR LESS MONEY!

    Current market prices on Caps are 757.00 direct, which we normally sell for a little less. Through this offer, we can offer the following:

    2 Sets: 734.00
    5 Sets: 674.00
    10 Sets: 649.00
    More: If we get there, we'll see!

    Available Options:
    +49.00: Cap Machining to allow re-fitting of Crank Scraper/Windage Tray when using Studs [note: small modification to scraper or tray will be needed as well, though most will be able to do that themselves]

    Wholesale Purchases Welcome!

    I am currently in the planning process of rebuilding my 05 Ram Srt10 Quad Cab. I will be going turbo with 1500 HP build over a couple of years build time. The weak link with our engines on forced induction is the rods and mains. As we speak, a 1500 HP build will need a rebuild within 50 passes at the 1/4 due to weak rings, rods, and mains.

    Our #3 and #5 cylinders rods suffer from oil starvation issues under boost. Do you plan on making any rod bearings as well for the 10's?

    I have so many other questions but this is a good start for now.

    Hi Brad;

    In Short:

    -yes, we offer a 1500+ horsepower block configuration that will last. There is a particular configuration that works to prevent rod starvation, and then the oiling system (below) prevents oil system starvation as a whole.

    -Yes, we have solved the primary oiling issues in the 03-06 platforms.

    -We have primarily seen 3/4 rod bearings to be the weak link, not 3/5. #3 is usually the culprit, and ends up taking number 4 with it. The main bearing and oil gallery design is the secondary fault, brought on by a bad oiling system design upstream.

    Dan, thanks for the billet mains! I can't wait to put it all back together (again).
