Tuned SHO as fast as SRT8?

I will never see 12s. Curse u mile high city. 😄

You need to move to the low country!

A new mod.... automatic pressurized 28% oxygen delivery compensator running at 760 mmHG through a barometer reading!

Wow. Are you trying it on your 427 panther first?

[panther427]

I have never actually tried it. Mocked it up a long time ago on a N/A car i dont have and thats as far as the idea went. I thought it would help the car run like it was at sea level. But i figured it would require further tuning to work properly.

So instead ive tried to own forced induction motors to make up my for my altitide.

An example of the extreme effect of elevation on cars performance

I had a 2008 Grand prix GXP dyno tunned, cai, cutout, header wrapped the crossover to help with heat transfer to the iat sensor which was right above it. And flipped dog bone rubber.  My best time at bandimerre drag strip was a 15.1x

When i entered the weather conditions into the drag time calculator i would of ran a 13.7

Before I had catless downpipes, I ran a SRT8 Challenger several times on the highway, and who ever got the bump, won. We were going from about 70-130. Who ever jumped out first, would hold that gap the whole race.

From a dig, ive beaten several SRT8 Chargers, and one SRT8 300C.

Would that require a huge volume even for one pass.

I talked to a guy this weekend at the track and his SRT8 Charger was going 12.80's bone stock.Looked like a brand new one.

Like other people said, on the street they can rarely hook. Ive beaten WAY faster cars than mine, because they cant hook on the street, and then I shut down before they catch up. Like if we are in a 50 mph zone, and going from a dig, ill shut down at 60. Because im a dick like that. lol

Why My daughter gave me this book...

Im proud of who I am. Why should I change? Maybe everybody else should grow some balls. lol

[BiGMaC]

I keep trying to tell my family that!   LOL

Damn skippy ... half the problem with the US any more is there are way too many people concerned with being PC and too damned scared to take a stand on anything ......    Rant over .....

Unless there is a relatively good driver behind the wheel of a bone stock SRT on street tires, you are not going lose most of the time. I would say the tuned SHO wins 7 or 8 times out of 10.

Big difference in weight between an SRT8 in challenger or charger body suit than the jeep version at 5200(!) pounds.  I would expect a SHO at  800 pounds less to fare a lot better against that porky jeep than the more comparable weight class foes.  This popped up when I googled for the jeep srt8 weight--even the fat ass ran a 13.3 stock here:

The jeep certainly benefited by having AWD to get power to the pavement.
