Default Dig Run: 2015 Scat pack A8 vs 2002 Z28 M6

Hard to see I know but he got out about a car on me in this 1/8 mile or so. Race was over at the top of 3rd which is why I bounced the limited. My nose was well in front of his at the end making it a "W" for me but would've been better if I could hook but a win is a win. I was pulling pretty hard on all of our runs. In a 1/4 Id probably have 3-4 cars on him. Enjoy

You should of beat the one with a dealer tag worse. It wasn't off it's timer yet keeping it from getting full timing.

What size tire are you running? 26"? What rpm were you shifting at?

Is there any proof of this? I've had my scat pack for 3 weeks now, this break in period is killing me. Only at 225 miles currently.

I've seen this is true of the R/T motors, but this isn't listed in the scat pack manual like it is for the 5.7 R/T.

I have no proof other than SRT engineers saying something about it on Challengertalk.net and a SRT certified dealer master mechanic buddy of mine that said my car would be on a timer before it gives me full power. Roughly around 1500 miles. I was told it goes off of miles/engine run time.

if you buy one and can get away with running no cats, don't **** with the exhaust. Just pull the cats off and thank me later. Buy the JBA catless mids from High Horse Performance. You can get 20-30whp from pulling them off and adding a quality CAI. I talked to HHP about it on the phone. They have the largest customer base for Hellcats and have a in house dyno.

i have been complimented on my exhaust note a half dozen times. Once from a blown Challenger.

Funny you mention that. This dude is running a catback and I told him to throw some longtubes on haha. He's worried about warranty. HHP is who tuned my car. Did a decent job
