it is but wouldn't some of stuff you would do to a viper engine be similar?

Yes and no, virtually no interchangeable parts if at all. But hot rod tricks are universal. Heads can be massaged, cams can be custom made, exhaust fabricated. Trick here is the intake, doubt that stock manifold is a high flowing piece (plastic isn't it?). An older (early to mid 90's) Viper intake manifold might be modified to fit. Relatively, the physical stuff, the plumbing is easy. It's the TUNING that's the bitch.
