Man, it just keeps getting better and better

New consistent best: 12.8@104mph

Followed by new consistent runs: 12.9@104mph

I just added the Paramount Stage II Valve body last week. Been driving it around town, notice a definite improvement in shifts especially at WOT.

So far, still NO real power adder except for a cold air intake and custom tune.

Mods so far which proved their merit:


Diablo custom tune via/DiabloToona
3500 stall FTI torque converter
Mopar TCM
Tranzformer electronic shift kit
Paramount Stage II valve body
180 T stat
3.06 gear
Stock all season tires

PLENTY of OT this winter and tons of plotting, modding and prepping to do.

Low-mid 12's with mild bolt on's next season!

(Cam/springs/push rods, shorty headers, full suspension upgrade, catless mid pipes with cut outs)

Congrats on the new PB man!!! That awd charger is f'ing impressive as crap! With these times it would of been a tit for tat run for my car when it was full bolt on's with stock heads! I can't wait to see what kind of time this tank is gonna put out in the future.


BTW you're starting to sound like a lot of LS1 guys saying full bolt on's and a cam is in that mod list hahaha

?? I don't get it lol


Thanks for the props

I am pretty pleased with times as well. Friggin' Chrysler will stuff a Hemi into anything and put AWD into it rofl

Not kidding about the tank part. My car is right at 4450lbs. (w/driver), not sure how much your GT weighs but if we're running the same times with your old set up, it might actually weigh a wee bit more

Not sure if I want to go all out or just put a blower on it and call it a day.. it runs so well now, I don't think it'll take very much to put me right where I want to be at quite honestly..

My car weighed 3265 with me in it (I weigh 310 myself) when I was bolt on's lol just 253whp through the crappy t5 trans.

The whole LS1 comment, a lot of people in my area; they will say they just have bolt on's and it'll have some kind of cam and or heads, or they will say "oh it's a cam only LS1" and it'll have a built motor with h/c/i big weight reductions and full bolt on's. They don't like to give the full story to say the least.

That's still a lot lighter than mine lol

Funny thing about that LS1 comment. I always get looks at my Charger as if it's an SRT or they question what it is exactly, or I have a lot more done to it. They don't even realize it's AWD or it's the newer Hemi

I was going to say something similar 89lx, mild bolt ons being a cam, full exhaust, full suspension, gears, valve body, cai, tuned... isn't mild, sounds closer to full bolts+cam, since most people say a cam isn't a bolt on, it's an engine modification. You can do what the LS1 guys say though, cam-only

My bad. I thought mild meant anything short of a fully forged motor or a supercharger lol

What's the controversy with 'cam only'? It's a term with a definition. Not like people saying it literally mean they only changed their cam. I don't even use the term yet because I'm not full bolt on.

Great times! Pretty close to what I was getting bone stock in my SRT8 back in 2007, 12.7 @ 109 though.

Any other plans for the AWD?
