I'm just having trouble seeing how a 3300lb car with less hp keeps up with a 3000 and more hp?? I just don't understand. I mean I can see if the srt made less hp but... so maybe he's lyin about his power??? I'm trying to call bs on you or your friend, but something line up is all i'm saying

I didn't want to reply to this comment but I will.........
Mike has NEVER done me wrong and continues to do things for me!
I base my opinions on how I am treated. also he has done work for other people I know and some of my best friends and not one of us has had an issue. Mike has been a very stand up guy to me and all my friends.

I'll have the vid up tonight for all the non believers. The Skittle is around 350fwhp and weighs around 3000lbs. The 3rd gen is about 120lbs more give or take. Lets also consider power through the band. The 3rd gen is making close to the same power as the Skittle BTW. I know both car very we'll and the skittle is definately making atleast 350fwhp. I've ran the skittle in my stock 03 Z06 that I used to own and we were a very close race.

power under the curve......his peak is cause of huge turbo...you can see in video when he shifts he falls out of boost and then has to get back to his power, where as my car on the dyno is pretty flat and power is always there
and come to find out his setup that night was making about 350 to the ground

Mike hasn't done you wrong because you haven't let him go into your motor yet. I'd double check your wiring too if he's had any hands in that. Good to hear that he hasn't dicked you over with his shade tree, half *** "mechanics". I'm also glad Mike didn't cost you over ten thousand dollars either.
actually yes he has he did my ls6 oil pump and timing chain, valve guide seals and a couple other things. I know a lot of people hear stories and then base their opinions on that....I hope you are not just relaying a story that you don't really know all the pieces of.....and no that car I am talking about was not a package deal the cam was just put in it a couple months ago

I doubt he has a "huge" turbo. My little brothers Stage 2 made that with full bolt ons and stock tiny turbo, also made more torque than horsepower. Now makes almost 100 more horse with a .50 trim. You gotta watch those decently modded skittles. With the 2 step, AVC-R and slicks my brothers car WILL be a low 11 sec car. IF he can get his short times to cooperate. LOL. Good kill none the less. I really like the LS swapped third gen. Props.

Sounds like some good runs. 350 to the wheels on race gas sounds like an untouched Mopar Stage 3 Turbo running high octane mode. Throw race gas in the tank and the ECU will load a higher timing/boost map.
