12.2 @ 116

[ACR2NV]

congrats Larry, i was still blown away that you spun them slicks all the way down the track and still trapped pretty well. Definitely didnt like the SRT4 showing but my friend Dan (b00stin-ne0n) was holding up the morale with his several low low 13 sec passes trapping at 108-109mph on the stock Michelins :D Good show Larry hope to see ya out there sometime soon

Yeah...traction seemed to be kind of rough for some reason.

The ironic part is that the one time I got good traction (early in the night), was the pass that I decided to play with the alcohol injection system. Seeing as how I was playing around with it, I wasnt really sure how it was going to react. Well, the car didnt like it one bit and I lost almost 7 mph! The bummer is that I got far and away my best 60 ft of the night on that run and ended with a lousy 12.5@110. If I didnt turn that alky on, I might have gotten the elusive 11.9x I was looking for as it appears the alky "took away" 60-70 hp :( On the next pass, I turned the alky off, but traction had deteriorated and I got the mph back to 116-117, but couldnt hook enough to get that dang 11!

Dan's black SRT4 was impressive. That cars looks mean with that big toothy grin in front! And, running low 13's at that mph on those 17's was very very sweet. Getting those to hook is dang near impossible.

Nice, what kind of mods or on the spirit?

it was funny else where in this great forum someone actually was trying to say that the only SRT4 out was running crappy times...i dunno a 13.3 at 109 on the stock tires at 32psi is impressive for a FWD car

In a nutshell....

Stock long block and manifolds, etc, etc with TO4E 50 / Stage 3 / 0.63 turbo, good sized intercooler, 3" exhaust, FWD-P computer, larger injectors, etc.

Yeah...that was crazy...13.3@109 on those tires was damn impressive if you ask me. Try hooking up on a set of rubber band 17's......

That was tires you heard on that pass! The track really was kinda slippery for me for some reason and a few passes where I tried to go for it left me sitting at 7200 rpm for a few gears with marginal forward movement.

And yes...I remember that time burning up the clutch on the dyno :D That was the stocker though and this 4 puck'er Ive got seems to like the abuse! I swear that is grabs harder the hotter I get it.

Looks stock? It is!

Well, almost is.

The longblock and all manifolds, etc are bog stock with a fresh stock rebuild from "Larry's Home Garage" over the winter. So, its basically just got bolt on items (turbo, intercooler, exhaust, injectors, fuel pump, etc, etc, etc).

No biggie. I would have liked to have done more watching and sitting myself. But, I was swapping tires around, messing with the car (making it run worse of course.....LOL).

good job larry!!! 12.2 aint to shabby!!! try a smaller shot on the alky, i tried a bigger jet on the set up i had in the snowball once and it sucked alot of power away.( i wish i coule give you a jet size but it was too long ago)

But theres only four 15mm nuts holding it on! Thus, its a bolt on!

I will have to try some smaller amounts of alky. What I am doing now is definitely too much! Sounds like another trip to the dyno......

But, I am pretty sure that right now I dont need more fuel, I need more timing. The EGTs went UP when I added alky, so that basically means that timing is too tame (fuel is still burning in manifold).

man just when i thought srt4s couldnt be any slower...so far there is a daily driven one in PA that ran an 11.99 ET but this past weekend Steve Anderson of Houston Texas ran a 11.60 at 125mph ......seems like 538whp and 542wt and 11.60ET is proof he is no longer just the dyno queen of the srt4 community :)
