(and I'm not going to lie, a 1.73 with just Mopar springs and a top engine mount is pretty ****ing good for this car with less than 10 passes..not even a bottom or trans mount)

err...didn't mean to double post....

Yea I don't know what was going on other than the humidity, and hitting the dew point (when air is 100% saturated and condensation appears on our cars). I was stuck running 12.6s, which was no doubt way off from the low 12s I had been running. Put it this way, in better air and the addition of DRs, I ran a full second faster at 11.6-11.7...

Well there we have it, if other people including you and 97 was running like that 11.7@122 wasn't but so so bad for 383whp and a pinched vacuum source to my map sensor.

Let me say it again..2nd time out...

Hahahah I'm just playing

I didn't think you ran all that bad, PD. Not considering we where around the same WHP, differences being everything but the actual peak WHP, lol.

I can't comment on what any SRT-4 variant can or cannot run on stock turbo however...gotta stay out of that one due to a severe lack of experience/knowledge regarding them.

Sure average will be 13's for either car mildly bolt-ed. Though you can't assume everyone you run into is like that. Someone who knows how to setup their car with slicks and a nice e-85 or race gas can hit 12's in either Srt. And if they are on streets on the highway, chances are they will have a trap that could be potentially capable of a 12. Calibers can trap 102-103 stock, Exhaust and tune obviously wakes them up.
