Theres no way hes pushing that much. A friend of mine who has a set-up close to that doesn't even push anywhere near that much HP. I did race an SRT4 with the Stage 2, but i just stopped in the middle of second considering i spun all of 1st, and when i hit 2nd my back end got sideways and said **** it. But when i let off he was only about 1-1.5 cars ahead, had i hooked i think i would have taken it to him.

My buddy has a stg 2 @ 20psi and dyno'd at 255hp and 366tq. There is another one in town that pushes 35psi when it's not in the shop replacing pistons and such! I have no idea how much it's making but it's gotta be a quick trip. Hopefully I'll get to run it soon.

That torque number looks way the **** off, remember its a 4 cylinder not a big block. My SRT4 with a 50 trim set @ 21 ps1 and a VERY rich tune made 380 whp and 370 wtq.

You're 18 years old, you probably can't drive. Your friend is talking out of his *** or you don't understand what hes talking about. 3 gauge pods so hes spraying? When I first got my car I missed a gear and still stomped out a stage 2 SRT4

the only way a stage 2 car is putting that much to the ground is if is spraying. or has an upgraded turbo using the stage 2 pcm

Sell your car until you learn the proper gear shift pattern. Those cars run like fido's *** up top.

I wonder how much I could gain in the 1/4 if I bring my 60 foot from a 2.079 to a 1.8xx. Maybe I shouldn't FLOOR it off the line so I don't spin, but floor it right after I launch on the roll.

Does anyone know the saying about knocking xx off your 60 foot gives you xx off your E/T?

it's possible to get 24psi out of the stock turbo. completely useless and stupid, yes. but it's been done. spiking 21 psi/holding 16 is the absolute highest i'd go on the stock turbo and that's only if the car has proper fuel mods..

"....Trans Am - The Ultimate Killer of Import and Domestic Rice.
First Time At Track: 2.2 60' - 13.19 - 109.8mph ....."

13.19??? ultimate killer? now thats funny! but i admire your attitude.



"...That torque number looks way the **** off, remember its a 4 cylinder not a big block. ..."

i got a 4-cyl that puts down 300+ ft-lbs tork at just 3,000 rpm and holds it out to 5,900 rpm....its possible.



BURNEM excellent car, the paint looks great i always liked WS6 cars with flame treatment, nice work.



srt4's are as easy-to-predict as LS1 cars.....big differences car to car....gotta race to be sure.

Maybe he means 355 hp and 366 tq? Still though I dont think he would be near those numbers on a stage 2, unless he means flywheel? Sounds kinda fishy as I have a buddy with a .50 trim setup similar to necro's and he makes a little less power than him so no way a stage 2 is making that to the wheels.

my srt-4 put down 40 more tq than hp. so these cars do have torque..but i'm doubting 366tq with S2. maybe 250fwhp and 300tq. that would be believeable.

Yea i could see it maybe being 300 tq, but that HP number would still be a little low, however 366 fwtq with only 250fwhp would indicate nitrous with such a large amount of torque over the hp number, but even then it makes no sense, im guessing just a typo. Oh well guess we will never know as he hasnt posted back yet. Id like to see the graph though if those numbers are legit!

The funny thing with 4 cylinders in the upper range of displacement (like 2.4) is that they can run a mid-size turbo and make awesome torque, but still not have the mods to breath well up top, meaning you see some weird torque biased numbers. I have seen stroker DSMs make about 60 more torque than hp. That said, yeah, looks like spray numbers to me.

to get 366tq out of an srt-4 with spray..you'd need a somewhat large shot/additional mods. which would totally contradict only putting down 250whp. i'm guessing the dude is just lying about his numbers. but 250whp is about right for S2 no toys.

the dyno numbers on the stg 2 arent that far off. friend of mine made 281/349 on stg 2, cat back, and a cold air intake. for some reason stage 2 dynos funny. ive read numerous posts on srtforums about why people sith s2 makes so much more torque. either way you should actually run him in a decent race. your odds may be alot better than you think
