Default Another SRT-4....

A buddy of mine has an SRT and he has said "i think i can take you" a few times. So we leave the local meet and before we leave the parking lot he said lets play on the way home. So we get on the freeway and the first run was from like 60 to 110 and as soon as i hit the top of 3rd i started to pull and by th middle of 4th i had about 2 cars and i let off. We ran again and the same results. His a car was quicker than i thought it was going to be. Good runs and a lot of fun.

The SRT has stage 1, intake, bov, wastegate,downpipe and i dont know what else.

We're suppose to run again from a lower speed soon

with my LT1, i can take most SRT-4s in the area. not many of them know how to launch from a dig so that's where i get them every time. they're pretty quick from a roll, but you should still be able to take him, like u did before! good job!

Thanks...yea these things can be brutal from a roll but everytime so far i've held my own. I will probably try to ask him for a dig race but i agreed to go from the SRT sweet spot of 40-50mph in second gear since we're friends i'll help him out

What mods do you have? On stock gears you should shift into 4th around 102-103 mph.

I raced two in my area. One boosted 18 the other 15. Both have basic mods. I had the 18boosted one by a car and the other one by 2 cars. From a 40 roll..

Reason why I was asking is because you said you went till 110mph. I trap 110mph and I shift into 4th half a second before finish line. You said you went through 4th for a while....

SRT's can be very quick. Boosting that much should make that car haul ***.

depending on what turbo they have, running 28lbs might be too much. i mean if they are on the stock turbo, then 24-25lbs is where the turbo stops be efficient. my friend has a srt-4 on a stock turbo and on the dyno, he makes maxx power of 308/380 at 24lbs. all he has is stg 2 with toys, intake, bov, wastegate, exhaust, 3in downpipe with cutout, and a f'ing big intercooler. thats pretty impressive for the minimal mods he has. from what i heard going that many lbs on a stock turbo isnt doing much.

My SRT4 put 2-3 cars on a Heads and Cam 02 T/A making 420 rwhp. They can be nasty.

I forget what my friend said the guy told him he had. It was an upgraded turbo in the 60's somewhere I believe though. I'll try to find out for sure.
