All the money he has in this thing it should be in the 10s LoL. I went 11.60's with stock motor, trans, clutch & a dbb 50trim on an SAFCII. Another guy went 11.40's on an s256 stock motor & EMS. Sounds like the OP needs to buy himself a drivermod.

Good for you? I'm well aware of what SRT's can run. I'm also well aware of how easily they break and have problems. This car will never be in the 10s regardless of how well it's driven. Obviously I have some more kinks to work out - like I said, first time out on a new setup - and yeh, I do need some practice driving it.

If you can pull a 1.7 60 ft. on this set-up i'd say you're doing very well. I question your view regarding the mph pick up on the top end of the track. It looks like you're picking up less than 24 mph. Were you logging these runs and did you see any knock in 3rd or 4th ? There might be a possibility that your intercooler is heat soaking, although from the looks of it you have a very large front mount. With a new set-up it's gonna take time to dial it in and get the launch down. Be patient and don't beat up on yourself. I'm in the same situation as you are right now. My new set-up makes upwards of 650 whp. It's an awd with a twin disc clutch that's a pain in the ass to drive on the street. I can only imagine what it's going to be like trying to launch the car at the track. Keep us updated.

Yes, I logged a couple of the runs with the EMS - I was saying that relative to the first half of the runs, which had bogging or traction problems, the second half is where the speed came from. Last year I ran a 12.5 @110mph on old setup. Also had a large boost leak on that run.
But anyway, yeh, the intercooler kind of sucks. Maybe be something else I'll end up replacing.
That sounds like a nice setup you have! I've heard the twin disks don't slip at all, so I can imagine what it's like trying to drive. |
