Hey Guys,

As you may have heard, the 2010 Viper transmission will be equipped with a .80 5th gear ratio (compared to the current .74 5th gear ratio).  The 6th gear ratio will remain at .50 - gotta love those government mandated CAFE standards.

I've been very pleasantly surprised at how much more usable the new 5th and 6th gears are.  You can actually stay in 6th gear down to 50 mph and still have enough power to accelerate and pass some one if you want to.

This is a very good mod to our very tall geared Vipers - I highly recommend it.  Cost is less than 2k.

I had Dave at OC Trans in Costa Mesa do the work.
