Good runs op but I think u should have beat him with your mods you should have had him. By him putting 2-3 cars on you so quick is indicative of him having a better power tp weight. When in reality he may have had 100 extra Hp but at the same time he weighed 1000 lbs more than you.

I hear ya. I thought he would get me on the motor because I drove his car a few weeks ago right after he got it but I also thought it would have been a little bit closer race myself.


He told me he ran it up to 160mph on the freeway in tijuana and it was still pulling pretty good when he shut it down. He said it pulled strong all the way and never got lazy or fell off. Still has the paper tags on it== Envy green with black stripes and Special blacked out wheels. ....not my favorite color but he likes it....lol I spend 50k on a car it will NOT be green! Tooooo many better options.... Sorry green lovers.

Was gonna send it to hennessey but I don't think they've done a supercharger on a 2011 ram
So there is finally one around us? I can't wait to get back and find it. Also have not heard of anyone figuring out the tune on them. Using an older PCM as mentioned might work. That or a stand alone system.

Have to agree also that the Chally is the best looking from the 3. But the price is just to much. For that I would rather buy a vette or GT500. Or hell the ZL1 should be priced close also.

The race I saw was a little competition between the dodge and ford dealer in lampasas. But there's a green with envy 392 that goes to the heights show, a orange 392, and I think a couple others. Have you ever seen the yellow viper coupe making over 1000 rwhp around town?

Yeah I don't think he drives it much cause the show is the only place I've seen it. It has an underground racing twin turbo kit. His wife has a silver s197 4.6 with black super snake hood and gtr badges. You should try to get the zr1 to play but I don't think he will. Or one of the lamborghinis or ferraris around town

MS3 on stock stall and 3.23s will be a turd down low and would surge and buck like a horse.....but it would sound good and burn a pile of fuel.

Also, I was saying that if he had the motor apart he might as well of gotten a cam that will make some good power in the long run...NOT saying he should take the car apart tonight put in an MS3 and re-race the guy and win. lol

Oh...good death
Ls6 cams are not lazy on the bottem at all. You just feel more of the top end rush.

Watched the one Yellow Lambo run 13's at the track. And then he got spanked by Kids Evo. It was either Kids Evo or Omars. Both run 10's. LOL. The Ferrari's will not run no one. They have been called out a few times. There is a coupke Z06's that are TT also running around. One C6Z and one C5Z.

The ZR1 would beat me right now. I will need a blower to run with him. At the track if he on street tires I might be able to beat him. Depends on if he can drive or not. CTperformance is doing my cam install next week and some other stuff. We see what it does after that.

That might help you out a bit and not sacrifice anything.
More info on the black box.

It hooks up to your IAT and then IAT sensor plugs into it. Then its wired i think to the switch were you turn on your nitrous or the WOT switch behind the gas pedal. I think it only pulls timing at WOT and changes fuel. There is a blue light that comes on, on the box to let you know its wired properly. The guy who installed it does alot of aftermarket stuff and never seen anything like it, he initially thought it was a window switch type of thing but isnt. Go to wwwtunedbyfrost.com he will give you better info on it then i ever will. Its worked fine for me and very happy with it so far.

There's a silver gallardo too. Wonder what he runs. Bet everyone was going crazy over the lambo and then laughed when it got beat by half the cars there lol. There's some crazy cars around here. And I'm not sure how good of a driver the guy with the zr1 is. He's older and I've never heard him get on it. He has that, a red ram r/t like mine(he actually got it a week after seeing mine at the show back in november or december), and a red gran sport convertible

I was wanting to know where you got it but it looks like you got it from Frost's. Thanks

Does the grand sport have a E-force SC? If so it ram bottom 10's last October. Old guy drives it also. He ordered it that way.


Oh and never heard it called dope either. Spray/juice are the most common I know.

The first gen pcm shouldnt work with the 2010 plus id think. The tons of changes are enough to support this theory. The 392 is a mds vvt motor and the pre 10's arent. Last i knew rdp claimed to have tuned it but hasnt mustered up any proof yet. Like the blower cars they've made that will never make a pass and never run properly. Guys a joke.
