ORIGINAL: RTShadow

Who is saying they ran a 13.6 on a bone stock srt4?
Not me. But I was very close. When I ran 13.8 the only mod was a 225 width street tire. When I ran 13.6, I was on the same 225 Fuzion tires, but hadadded AGP dogbones, a K&N drop in and iridium plugs.
However, some changes in my driving are what I know really made the difference. Most notably, the shift points. Added 3 mph to the trap.

NOT 100% stock but only a few real easy and cheap mods.

I need to get better, I've only donea fewruns on the actual strip, my first try at drag racing ever (never did it on the street before that) and shift **** flew off twice haha, then on the third run I did about a 14.5, but I was trying to launch slower. That was on my first day.

On the street since then I've done a 14.2 according to my Aeroforce Tech Gauge.

I mean on a closed road of course because no one would do anything illegal like run quarters on an empty stretch of public highway

My first day with WGA and exhaust i ran 13.5(street tires)....It doesn't matter if you running a big turbo or got lots of mods.It all comes down to driving skills.What mods you got rtshadow?

I am bone stock on the engine, all I have are BWoody HBrace and traction bars. I have a comm edition and I don't really feel the need to modify it, yet anyway. I have my areoforce tech interceptor pro gauge too but that's not really a mod so much as a way to read the engine and what not.

Track and weather conditions can make a huge difference with turbo cars, I've seen a 1.1 second difference with my buddies WRX and the only difference was the track and conditions. Norwalk is one of the best and fastest tracks around.

^^x2 Norwalk, Milan and Martin are all excellent tracks. You wanna go fast, maybe you should move to Mi. LOL
Some tracks just suck. Like Las Vegas's old dragstrip. Add 3 tenths to anything there.

National Trails is the super suck track, it was the first track and Norwalk was the second we went to with his WRX. At Trails every stock WRX was running 15.80's including his,I did get his down to the 15.30's by icing his intercooler for hours to the point it was frozen to the touch and right before he ran that time we piled on even more ice (all you saw through the hood scoop was ice, you could barely see parts of the intercooler). The first and only run at Norwalk was immediately after arrival from the 2 hour drive there and even being very hot itran a 14.7. That's a huge difference between tracks.
