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 ***. 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!!!!!!!!

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

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 *** 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.

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?
