new here, drive a mini-van drive a Caliber SRT-4 right now, but getting tired of the FWD world. Looking at getting a 4th gen SS when i get back from deployment in August.
Im a Corspmen stationed in Camp Lejuene, getting rdy to deploy in the next few weeks.
Not really happy with the FWD world anymore....2.2 60fts are killing me.
heres the car. If you live in the Jville/Camp Lejuene area you have probally seen it around. there are only a few in the area.

thanks for the warm welcome.
Last time i was at the track was a couple of months ago. I ended up running a 13.3@109 with a 2.2 60'. The car is definatly more of a highway car than anything. If i dont peddle the **** out of it from a stop it will usually spin into the middle of 3rd gear....which is quite annoying.
Im gonna try to make it back to the track one last time before i deploy. Tryna hit 12's in the car on street tires, but i dont really think that is going to happen. FWD sux.

I know DR's would probally put me in the 12's. But buying tires for 19inch tires is retarded. And The smallest rim i can put on the car is an 18 because of the massive brakes.
The car has Mopar Stage1, AGP FMIC, AGP WGA, AGP Intake, Custom 3inch Downpipe. N2MB WOT Box, HKS SSQV BOV. It put down 320hp/310tq in 101 degree weather on 16psi.
The main problem this car has, besides being FWD, is there is no way to tune the car. The MS1 wants to keep the car in the 300-310 ft/lbs of tq area. So even if i crank up the boost, when the car feels its reached the 300ft/lbs area it decides to shut the throttle.
heres the dyno. the 305/302 was w/o the WGA. Spiking 15psi and holding 11 at redline. It was about 75 out that day. The 320/310 was spiking 16psi and holding 15psi.

It happens to the best of them! I can't count how many people decided to get an fbody because of my car and my friends cars.
