V10 Update now running with video
Right after trying and failing to get the engine to start well apart from a 2 second run I have been on the phone to the USA.
Have found out that the ecu is controled by the cars anti theft alarm system so therfore wont run at all without it.
Thats the bad news.
Now the good news.
Have spoken to a company that can remove the need for the anti theft system from the ECU and remove a few other bits for me that i dont need and ship
it over.
Now all that needs to happen is for it to arrive before we leave to come to the show Friday. It should happen but were not sure yet although the guy
in the USA has said he will get it done asap and sent hopfully today.
So everyone cross ya fingers for us

This mornings great news is that the new ecu will arrive with us by midday wednesday.
We called a company in the USA called DC Performance told them what i needed he knew exactly why the engine started and stopped and knew exactly what
to do to correct it and has done a few other things to the ecu for me like remove the need for the 2nd set of O2 sensors and the skip shift function,
it stops you from using 2nd and 3rd gears when driving slowly there is a solonoid in the gearbox, and it has a rather more aggressive fuel and spark
map loaded 
So with any luck we will have a video uploaded wednesday evening with the engine firing up for all to see

Dodge call it 2nd-3rd lock out. It is a US government mandated feature to try and push the fuel consumption into double figures. If you don't
accelerate manically in 1st gear, it prevents you selecting 2nd or 3rd. you can use 4th at really low speeds because the Viper engine pulls so well
at 500 RPM (it is a tuned truck engine). You can put it in 6th at 25 MPH and it will cruise at 500 RPM. put your foot down and it pulls well without
any objection. It is a mad engine.

I've just had a thought, and then got out my calculator. 500 BHP in a luego is probably enough for 190 MPH  , more withough a windscreen
. I hope you've got good tyres.

well if you consider that a std viper will do 190 mph and weighs twice as much as the luego will ..................

Hah! Didn't spot you were that close.
If you're up for a visit some time I would love to come and see this beast.
In fact, you are of course welcome to our monthly meet , 1st Sunday of the month usually at Newlands Corner in Guildford. Keep an eye on the
'Events' section.
Cheers,
James

Thats a nice sound.
Now DONT get carried away, as I didn see any water connections or a Radiator there. You dont want to bugger up that lovely lump before you get it on
the road do you.

I actually saw (and heard) this - THING - at Newark today. In fact, I think that most people on the site heard it every 10 minutes!
"Loud" isn't quite the right word for it... I was standing 20 metres away and could feel the vibration through my feet...
Though it did attract a huge number of people every time it was run - men, women, kids, dogs, everyone flocked around.
Going to be a scary beast...

John & Mark its time for you to decide.
Is your car going to be a Bike Engined Car
OR
A Car Engined Car.
Although your engine came out of a Viper, they did also use that engine in a bike.
So you decide.
Beware of the Goldfish in the tulip mines. The ONLY defence against them is smoking peanut butter sandwiches.

Judging by the looks of lust that both John and Mark had as the Spitty flew over with its 12ltr Merlin engine I think we should start worrying about
seeing a 'PEC' in due course - and no, I wouldn't want to press the button (unless on a 30m remote cable!!!!)
