Default Stage 2 track time

I know what's there, not anything else. The link is to the thread at SRTforums.
Dodgetweaker is a PVO/SRT guy, name of Ethan Bayer, SRT-4 & Staged kit development engineer. And please don't ask for slips. If we can't trust PVO/SRT at their word, just sell your car. They have been completely open ,way more than ANY other makers peformance team. Whao else has had informal meetings with groups of owners?

Stage 2 with Mopar Cat-Back Exhaust
Drag Radials
High Octane
IC Sprayers in Auto
Dial-A-Boost in position 3

60' -- 2.009
1/4 -- 13.096
MPH -- 108.21


So the question now is, what happens when a talented individual who can acheive a 2.0 60' on street tires (and they are out there, I'm not one of them though) does this? I'm seeing 12s. Not for me, since I suck, but it will be happening. Oh, the link

those are some impressive numbers. do you know if they've done any top speed tests? i mean with the rpm limit raised to 65k, a bigger wastegate, and ifuel njectors i'm sure it'll bury the needle, but i kinda want to know, will it get in the 200's by the time the stage 3 rolls out. [&:]

I can see the lawsuits now..."the tires blew at 210 mph, the air bags didn't help at 207 mph, the car crumpled up like a ball at 209 mph, the steering wheel started shaking at 197 mph, the car hit that bump in the road and became airborne at 206 mph", .....lawyers will have a field day!!!

Was this on his personal SRT-4? If it is, then he does have a few other small things done to it and it's an '03. If it is a different car, then is it an '03 or an '04? The LSD will make a big difference. I'm just really into getting the Stage 2 for mine. I watched the Stage 1 cars turning 13.0-13.2 in the 1/4 last year and this seems to be little to no improvement over that. I take it that position 3 on the boost dial is full boost? I know that there are tons of variables that can have an effect on it, so thats why I'm asking so many questions. With what I seen them doing last year, I was hoping to see them running high 12's with Stage 2 alone and mid 12's with the exhaust, CAI and a few other things done to it as well.

RR,

Nope, this is the 03 S2 test mule, with nothing else.

I believe position 3 is the one maximized for launch with DRs. 1st and 2nd each have a different setting, full boost on the others.

I don't believe the LSD makes a big difference in 1/4 times. 04s better times are attributed to the extra whp they have. 03s with S1 and 04s are the same in the 1/4

Any Stage 1 car running low 13s has some supporting mods. I'll have more facts on that later. and keep in mind, those PVO guys admit they suck at drag racing.


We'll know more when more S2s hit the street.

If it had those, they would have mentioned it. This is the same car the folks at the nats rode in, they had time in it to talk to ethan, he would have said.
