Dodge Viper SRT-10
A client recently purchased a 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10. From the factory, a Viper SRT-10 is a powerful car. We put the Viper on the dyno for a baseline. The Viper put down 564 rwhp and 539 ft-lbs of torque.
564 rwhp is a lot for most cars, but the owner wanted more power out of his Viper. Unfortunately, there are currently not a lot of support available for this particular year of Viper. This is a new platform and is the first mass air flow based drive-by-wire Viper. This Viper is more efficient than previous generations of Vipers, which will make the task of high horsepower gains difficult.
PSI approached the owner’s request from a research and development standpoint. To increase power from the V10, we decided to increase airflow.
A custom intake was created to eliminate the stock air box. The custom intake also accommodates the nitrous system’s nozzles.

To further improve airflow, PSI added a Belanger header and exhaust setup.
The custom intake, headers, exhaust, and NOS increased the horsepower to 682 rwhp and 782 ft-lbs of torque.
With its drive-by-wire system, the 2008 Dodge Viper SRT-10 is a new platform with a lot of potential. Our client is interested in the highest performance from his Viper and we look forward to helping him reach his high performance goals.
This is very interesting, no doubt you guys turned that thing into a powerhouse!
