Good runs! Those SRT8's are acutally quicker than I thought they would be. But top end you have him for sure. You car looks like it runs strong. Syke from norcal has similar mods to that charger and he was running 13.0 @ 108mph at Infineon the other week, just as a reference. Are you on street tires?

I would like to have seen some better dig runs, it looks like the chaeger honked it off and got the hit every time. From a roll it looked like a really good race though nice runs.

The SS was faster and would of won easily with better driving. You must of been scared about cops coming cuz I know you drive better then that lol. Tb SS was a waste of gas for the charger. The z28 pulled hard up top on the charger.

Might have to get a rematch AJ!

Interesting runs. I thought you would have done better than that. I wasn't surprised by the dig racing but from a roll I thought you would have ate em up. I would love to give it a go if I can get some time off...

The SS seemed to run pretty strong and was reeling the Charger back in on the first video. Good runs.

If you seen the 50mph roll then you would see he got ate up quite well Let me know when you're ready and we can get our rematch on. The 40 roll I started in 2nd and I didn't even get to hit 4th.

I wouldve thought the SS wouldve ate up the Charger because its so damn heavy. Ive raced one before but i wasnt in a good gear. id be interested to run one myself if i could. granted my mods are far less then yours OP.

I think a lot of people underestimate those SRT8's. Also, racing one that knows how to hold their gear vs one that just leaves it in full auto is a big difference. It is what it is though and I feel my #'s are a little low for my mods. Stay tuned for next weeks run.

I definitely hope I can be out there for the next runs. I know how fierce your car is from a 50 roll and I know myself and that charger don't have a chance from that speed. Just need to much power to move our 2 ton cars at that speed vs your lightweight low drag car. From a dig though it is cookies.

Either yours are a tad low, or my Camaros numbers were just freakish? D:

Couldn't have said it better. I will get walked by 80% of the cars I come across if I leave it in auto mode. When you hold a gear in autostick mode it's like driving a totally diffrent car. Alot of people seem to think SRT8's are high 13-low 14 second cars because most owners don't know to race them. And I agree I would think with your mods you would be around the upper 340's to low 350's my auto with the same mods was around 338rwhp tuned.

LOL... I KNOW! Man, that was my first time ever racing from a dig though. I need to practice. I would love to see you run that Charger or your friends SRT8 on the street.

Yeah, I killed a few SRT8's before my headers. Then I ran a friend who drove it right and damn it was fast.

Nice runs, thanks for sharing! For an SRT-8, 35mph might be slightly high for 1st gear. 50mph just slightly low, 55mph better. 3rd gear goes all the way to 120mph so a triple digit run has to take into consideration what speed you agree to end at.

If the SRT-8 isn't dyno tuned, I would guess he would pick up 7rwhp + or - and 10+rwtq, just guessing based on my numbers (although I had hi-flow cats).

I also agree if you were at 345+rwhp you would take it
