Street Racing & Kill Stories - SRT8 300C takes down 2012 Shelby GT500

Unfortunately this was kinda random so i readily admit that for a guy that has vids of a good number of his own races this was not one of them. Nonetheless heres how the story goes...

About 6 pm today was gorgeous so i decided to go for a Sunday drive. Still not having the boost a pump installed and only having the Maggie on for roughly a week i had no intentions of racing or hauling ass. During my cruise i run into (going the opposite direction) a newer looking GT500, black w red stripes piloted by a hispanic guy who looks even younger than me (im 28). He kinda gives me that FU look but dosent rev or anything. So i continue on thinking nothing more of the Shelby that went by. Roughly 3 miles or so further down i begin to head out of town. Nearing one of the last stoplights i notice in my rearview a black mustang quickly pulling in behind me (we were in light traffic). He tails me for about a half mile suprisingly not driving like a douche until we get out of traffic and he gets into the lane next to me with it already dropped in gear. He honks 3 times and we take off from what im guessing was about 40mph because i spun horribly and had to pedal so he jumped out by 2 cars and held that. So we pull up behind some cars at the last stoplight out of town and i tell em we can go again but i cant leave that slow because i cant hook up. He agrees to a 60 roll and we make our way to an empty spot on the hwy. Again he pulls alongside already in gear and honks 3 times but this time there was no spinning. Immideately my car pulls about to where my rear bumper is at his front bumper and for the duration until we hit nearly 160 i slowly crept away so that when we shut down you could just about fit a car between us. Right after he pulls up again and gives me this hand motion like he wants to turn around. At the next crossover we both turn in and to my suprise he parks and gets out. First words out of his mouth were, "You know i got you down low right?". I just laughed and kindly agreed. We proceed to shoot the poop for ten minutes or so, exchange names and numbers and he takes a pic of my ride and leaves. We are supposedly going to meet up at the track next T&T but ive heard that before. All the cost and effort involved in the install of the supercharger was already more than worth it even if it blows up tomarrow. Its more than paid for itself in smiles!! Lastly i am amazed that i did not go lean or stutter or break up at wot. No BAP, just SRT4 injectors and bigger rails. The BAP is still going on tho!
Magnacharger FTW!!!!!!!!:judge::nod::burn:

Good kill!!

Not surprised of the outcome if his Shelby was stock. The srt max cam isnt the best for boosted applications but its not horrible. With only 6psi you should have enough fuel with the stock set up, the bap is more of a safety measure.

You have one of the best tuners if not the best tuner for modern mopars, he wouldnt have let you leave of there was any danger of you popping a piston or if there was a chance he would have let you know it. lol

You didnt spray the 75 shot on this run did you?

Just watched the video. What LSA is your max on???

Nope just the 6lbs. Gonna dial that in and then with the 9. At that point i will add the 75. I used to run 125shot when i was NA. Also going to a spartan blower cam by inertia. Ill miss the lope tho :(

Oh and the Shelby had an SCTtune. Mine is 219/221 568/575 on a 112 LSA

You got some balls going to 9lbs much less 9lbs with a shot. LOL But if any tuner can make it work it would be Johan. As im sure he will tell you, just make sure you run race gas when you decide to spray it. It should be fine.

Thats why I asked what LSA ur max was on cause I didnt hear too much lope. They usually lope pretty good for such a small cam. Mainly due to them being on a 112-113 LSA but i know Stu has put them on higher LSA's before.

Our cams are very similiar. 218/224 @ 113. Good enough for the cam only record for the 6.1

Kinda odd he has tune only. Most would atleast do a pulley with that.

His claim was that the tune was for the pulley but he didnt have it on?? My thinking was hey bud, you chased me down afterall (if it wasnt bs anyway). He def had the SCT badge on the ass tho. Not too bad a result for one of the first times ever going wot boosted huh? lmfao

Also, from the overlap on my cam im blowing most of my boost out the exhaust valveuntil about 3k so it has kindof a turbolag. Btw - im at 3600 ft and we commonly see 5k + ft DA's.

Jesus christ that was hard to read.

Cliffs?

Cliffs? Nope, high desert.

Jesus christ that was hard to read. Why would that have been?

Geez thats gotta suck!!

What??? Niteriderws6 hasn't came into the thread yet?

Because it's a big lump of text. Only someone interested would take the time to decipher that wall.

So cliffs plz. I think you lost to a GT500 then beat him or something along those lines?

tl;dr

LOL jk. Nice kill dude.

Thanks. Hope to catch em at the track.

nice kill

Hey nite I know of a guy putting a 5.7 new-gen into a 67 or 68(cant remember) Dart with a 106mm turbo, lol. He was originally going with a lsx but for some reason decided to go with the "Hemi". Anyway, my question is, how much power can the 5.7s handle? Are the 5.7s stronger than the 6.1L and 392?

Honestly there are alot more guys who build the 5.7's then they do the 6.1 or 392. It has to be for the cost because the 6.1 and 6.4 will make more power everytime unless the 5.7 is stroked.

The 5.7 is about 60hp below the srt8 to start on the dyno, the srt8 comes with a forged crank, powdered connecting rods and upgraded just about every single other part from the factory. Enlargened oil squirters different heads, intake, bore and stroke, you name it. I think it simply has to do with the fact that there are around ten 5.7's to every one 6.1 and probably 50 to every one 6.4 Also the 6.4 is a new enough platform that we havent even able to crack the ecu to create aprogrammer for it yet. I never understood why guys do more than bolt ons for the 5.7's because even after spending $6-8k you will only be up to par with a stock srt8. If you got that much $ to drop why not just get the one more purpose built for the job from the start? Lastly, you could never get equal power out of the 5.7 without spending more than the difference in price of an srt8. They (being the old 6.1 non LC platform) are incredibly good value considering the engine build quality. The 5.7's need internals for anything beyond 450rwhp and the srt8 will handle about 100 more reliably.

Nice kill. Watched a new GT500 bone stock run best of 12.7@116 tonight. He needed driver mod bad. Also watched a new 5.0 and a new SS and 300 srt8 6.1 all run 13.8-14.5. All 3 bone stock.

Sounds like there's a shortage of Driver mods in that area there Ohio (unless the DA is ridiculous?)... 14.5... who ran that?

The 5.0 and SS both ram those times. DA was around 2600 when they was running. Worse was 3400 at begining of night but they wasn't there. The 300SRT ran best of 13.20 at end night in the Mopar shoot out. He lost in the finals to a Cuda running low 11's. Driver for sure another 5.0 ran best of 12.8 stock and another SS which sounded stock ran best of 12.9. Another 5.0 with cold air and tune atleast ran a best of 13.5. He was on stock tires but that is his fault I guess.

What funny is they are a mustang club called DEAD PONIEZ. I am in a different club. THey seen me and came revving there engines all basically one by one. Then after I ran my 10.78 I slowed down by the and revved and yelled when you going to run your slow as cars. None them ran again. Supposly they have a Fox body with a 408 in it and spraying that runs lower 11's. He revved his engine and it sounded good but wouldn't run it after I ran.

we have the same name lol.

Is there anyone running the new hemis in a purpose built drag car? Also, using forged internals, which block is strongest and how power will it reliably hold?

Damn, i figure that in Dallas i would pick up nearly half a second in better air. Best DA i ever had the chance to run in was just above 4k.

we have the same name lol.

Yea i noticed that the other day lol. Great minds think alike! Love the som.

IDK about a tube chassis or rail car (im sure there is someone doing it) but there are more than a handful of gutted rollcaged and subframed LX platform vehicles in the single digits at over 160mph. Off the top of my head i believe that the fastest is currently a charger with a Stage Six (brand) turbo kit in the 8's. There are more and more Jeeps pushing 9's as well.

The most sought after modern HEMI platform i am aware of is Arringtons assembeled and forged 426 stroker for around $15k. Its roughly the equivalent to the LSX minus the aluminum. Supposed to be good to over 1000hp They are currently working on creating an all aluminum 392 for production cars down the road.

Oh and im pretty sure that the 8 sec charger is on drag radials but dont quote me there.
