The defines brute power. Equipped with an 8.4-liter, 10-cylinder engine, the is capable of producing over 600 horsepower. The Viper is often considered primitive when compared to ultra-luxurious supercars from Europe. However, what the Viper lacks in plush trim and options, it makes up for with its track credentials.

69-2527TTR gained 18.69 horsepower for the 2008 Viper
The 2008 Viper is reported to accelerate from 0-60 mph in 3.7 seconds, cover the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds, and reach top speeds of around 200 mph. Combine that level of with the ability to precisely maneuver through turns, stop from 60-0 mph in around 100 feet, and the 2008 Viper will leave a venomous taste in mouths of European supercar owners.

K&N engineers are always hunting for more power. After looking under the 2008 Viper’s hood, K&N engineers knew the Viper was capable of more. Much consideration was put into the design of part number 69-2527TTR.

The stock 2008 Viper intake tract uses a dual throttle body set up fed by a common plenum with a single air filter. K&N intake 69-2527TTR replaces the stock pieces with twin powder coated mandrel-bent aluminum intake tubes and dual K&N high-flow air filters for improved air delivery.

This performance air intake system incorporates a unique heat shield, and the dual air filters line up with the factory fresh air intake on the hood. The result of this hard work and enthusiasm for performance is a nearly 19 horsepower gain at the wheels.

K&N’s Research and Development Department tested a 8.4-liter V10 on our in-house dynamometer. Results showed horsepower increases throughout the RPM range with a shocking peak horsepower gain of 18.69 horsepower @ 5,300 RPM! 69-2527TTR provides improved performance with attractive red powder coated aluminum intake tubes to match the 2008 Viper’s valve covers.

  2. The proper way to do an ac service is to hook the vehicle up to the ac machine. Evacuate out the refrigerant and take notice how many ounces came out and compare to factory specs in ounces. Vacuum the system down with the machine for fifteen minutes, turn the vacuum pump off and let sit for five minutes to confirm it's holding a vacuum. Then put proper amount of refrigerant in the system, in ounces, start the vehicle and check the gauges and the temp at the vents (not with a digital thermometor). Inject small amount of dye in system and run for fifteen minutes. Take your black light and check system for leaks.

  3. On Dawn, World Food Programme reports some progress but need for more:

    “GENEVA: The World Food Programme (WFP) says it urgently needs helicopters to get food to millions of flood victims in Pakistan who remain cut off by the high waters.

    “At the moment we’re recognising that there’s a real massive need for a boost in air delivery capacity immediately to reach the people who remain cut off and those who are going to continue to be affected in the weeks to come,” said Emilia Casella, spokeswoman for the UN food agency.

    The WFP managed to secure permission on Friday to bring in another five choppers, in addition to another 10 which are currently in service.

    Ms Casella did not have a figure of how many more were needed, but said: “You could bring in a lot of helicopters and we will use them all.” On Thursday, the 10 helicopters and 200 trucks currently in use managed to provide food to 125,000 people, a mere fraction of the millions in need.

    “We need the helicopters now at this stage,” added the WFP spokeswoman, pointing out that they are essential at the moment as roads remain cut off by floodwaters. The WFP has managed to get one-month food rations to 1.2 million flood victims, but Ms Casella noted that the figure was far from the agency’s target of six million.”
