If you are racing someone heads up it R/T matters greatly...

I've been catching [censored] for the last week because my buddy's SHO beat my Lightning. My 13.3 @ 103 to his 13.4 @ 108. I was sleep at the tree....

If you want to be anygood at drag racing then R/Ts matter...yes, they don't really directly affect yourr E/T, but in the whole picture they matter.

No turbo upgrade? How much boost you pushing? Good tires are the shiznit.

Nope......factory turbo!!! 17 psi up to 5k rpm and then it will fall to 14 psi by redline.

W/out slicks I cant imagine what kind of crappy times I would be running. Josesvt can attest to Fontana not having the best track prep.

I'm curious too. You knocked off a second with only those mods?

Why are you falling to under stock boost at redline? I know stock, many srt4s fall to 12psi at redline, but I thought with the boost controller and the spring mod that was taken care of. I thought you could also boost to 19psi and fall to 17 psi safely on the stock fuel system.

The turbo back adds more than a conventional aftermarket exhaust. That's still a really great time and has to be some great driving. The tires are what really make the difference.


What do you think you're putting down? 260-270whp?

I had installed a wastegate actuator and I didn't like how much it spikes and changes from gear to gear. I usually just short shift and let the torque pull the car. You dont want to run more than 15-16 lbs at redline. My car was running a bit lean 12.5:1 and climbing.... past 5K rpm.

Best dyno #'s to date is 269WHP and 298WTQ.

To be honest, I think these times are on the slow side for the rest of the country. I ran a new personal best(85.45) 1/8th mph that night but my 1/4 mph was the same as when I run 83-84 at the 1/8th.

and the haters turn to believers lmao...

but seriously, those times are about right. We're running near the same mods (slow4dr and I) except I run street tires (this is so I know how fast I run on the street *smirk) and I pull 13.5's at 105 with 2.1 and 2.2's in the 60'.
