A stock '04 will get you through the 1/4 at a hair over 100 mph......[&:]

I ran a 14 flat at 101mph with my 04 using the g-tech accelerometer. Bogged start too. I know I can get in the high 13's. It's not completely stock either.

71RoadRunner advises he has seen many stock SRT-4s running high 13s at the track. I'm sure you'll join 'em with good launch technique which, I admit, is a pain to get right...Practice makes perfect in this case....(and I need more of it, for one!!!!)[sm=smiley20.gif]

Yep, I've watched stock SRT-4's running in the 13.7-13.9 range and the Stage 1 equiped SRT-4's running 13.0-13.2 in the 1/4. I have yet to see a Stage 2 equiped SRT-4 run, maybe I'll get lucky and see one or two at the Chrysler Classics this weekend running.[sm=smiley20.gif] If I do I'll let you know what they're running.[sm=smiley2.gif]

Here's Car & Drivers SRT-4 test results:
0-60 MPH: 5.3 sec.
1/4 mile: 13.9 @ 103 MPH

let me just say i suck biiig at the drags and being a beginer i didn't have any expectations. but these are real world times for my 03: stock 14.8 sec and with my present mods (s1,bov,s3 coilover, exhaust, k&n filter) 14.0 sec. yes, my launches blow and shifting points thrown out the door, i feel comfortable with my performance.......my time was maybe 3rd or fourth from the top in the sport compact division! i got used to the dirty looks![8D]

Have you ever ran yours at a track yet? I was wondering how accurate the G-Techs really are.

The only reason I bought it was becuase I read alot of posts that said the g-tech was only off hp and 1/4 mile times by 1-2 hp and only atenth of a difference. I don't have a track here in monterey so I figured this would be a good tool. I hve put mods on my car but have yet to try to dyno my car on the g-tech. It comes with a shift light and tach also. I was on the freeway with a wrx and I didn't realize that I was all the way through 4th until the shift light came on.

Byebye,

according to a professor I had in college (I just graduated) he knows some of the engineers that built the g-tech (this guy has worked for GM and others, so I trust his knowledge, plus he was a smart powertrain guy... anyway...)... the g-tech's for HP use an incorrect formula and don't take into some considerations when doing their calculations. As for the 1/4 mile times I don't believe there was as much of an issue... but the HP ratings were incorrect - at least according to the professor... either way, it gives you a good place to start and a rough idea...
