Much like backcountry riding often goes. The path to this build is much the same. Never planned to go this far. When you approach the point of no return you either focus on exit or hold it to the wood. My initial purchase was a 16 viper to be set up @ 270hp MCX kit. Carrillo rods, titanium springs, valves, head shims/gasket, rear skid, 2 hyvo chains and a chain case, another head shim/gasket and stuck valve and I managed to get 1400 miles on the sled. Issue I continued to have was charge air temps causing detonation. Air to Air intercooler was more of a highly efficient heater most likely due to the conditions I ride in. If I were to plan a build ahead of time I would use a sidewinder and save a lot of the hassle. So my dilemma was do I build my own water to air intcooler set up and install in my Viper or...... Put it all in one of my Axys chassis. No comparison to me in handling between the two. That part was easy to decide. Hard part was sacrificing a Perfectly sound sled for a what if..... Well I managed to stick a ring in one of my other turbo sleds and it made my decision. pulled the stocker with 300 miles and put it back in ops and had a vacancy for the next implant. Since starting the build I relocated for work and put the project on the back burner. Before I left MT I managed to take it out on the snow a few times for some short test runs. Now Im finishing up some fit and finish work to hopefully get it out before the snow is gone this season. My delay has been wanting to use nytro or apex oil tanks or build my own. Decided to just build it so i could locate in the best spot not just where it fit. Foaming is an issue with a way to return oil without causing more airation as well as ridding what is. Feel pretty confident in what I have created so far and hopefully it works as planned. Plan to weigh sled before I head out in a week to see what it does. Im guessing 460. hoping for less.
