Just for a little info we just finished a SRT with the Kooks headers and X-pipe, no cat back yet, a diablo tuner and custom stall converter. The car only has about 150 miles on it and the owner has not been able to launch without blowing the tires of. He is running with the traction control on and seeing 13.4 @ 109 plus. The car should do 12.90's if he can get it hooked up. Looking into halfshafts and drag radials now.

What have you seen from others?

 

Headers, drag radials, tune, and a stall (what rpm?...3200?) in a 425 hp car should do way better than 12.9. I am thinking 12.0-12.4 depending on track conditions and DA, plus some good break in time. On good weather days my 375 rwhp 05 GTO (see sig.) was running 12.teens. I would hope and expect the 6.1 Hemi to do way better than the 12.9 you mentioned.

 

YO KEVIN the Ram re-design came out in the 02' model year.... The Hemi came out in the 03' model year... I bought mine in the summer of 03'... mine's black too 20's 4x4 single cab SLT, flowmaster exhaust 4inch chrome tips for sale for 10g if anyone is interested... peace...

 

yea i said 02 redesign but I messed up i meant 03 hemi....bran fart . Im selling my 05 ram 1500 quad cab for 13k only 30k miles hahah classifieds section anyone?

 

Yeah, those Bran farts really hurt. Burn like hell. Dont smell too good either. [:'(]

 

Where did you set stall Mark?

 

quick replying ftl.

 

You're forgetting this car is overweight. There's more to it than a flywheel number. At that weight, trapping 109 (weak for the mods), it ain't going to run a low 12. An LS2 GTO? Yes. A so called "hemi" Challenger? No.

 

0-60 times mean nothing. Ask any racer how fast his car is 0-60 and he will look at you and say who care or I don't have a clue. When it comes to 1/4 mile times the driver, weather and track prep play big rolls in how fast a car is on any given day. I dragrace a 06 Sebring 4cly/auto at one of the local tracks in sport compact class. I make it into the finials every week. On wed. nights I go to the TNT heads up races. I have 3 guys with newer 6cly Mustanges that can't touch me. By allmeans there cars could beat me heads up every race. But I beat the drivers every time not there cars. Thats why race teams have hired drivers.

 

The car weighs 4365 with driver and fuel so I think you are a bit off in the prediction. The owner cannot get any traction without the TC engaged so we will have to see how it goes with DR installed.

The stall is set at 2800 rpm but the onl,y time it is noticable is when power braking at the line.
