Actually SRT-4s have 230whp, not crank. The numbers that Dodge advertises are actual whp #s. Everyone's correct about the srt times too, 3 of my friends drive them and each of them hit high 13s, and I wouldn't say that any of them are exceptional drivers.

No they are running stage 1 at a little bit more boost ~ 14psi and they had open downpipe and slicks, or something similar to slicks.

THats how they ran 12.124 or something close.

Stage 1 is usually 10 psi or as they advertised and gets you around 300 hp and tq

Or just not flooring it all the time. Simple responsible cruising speeds will allow for much better mileage. Basically, don't boost it just to hear the pshh then let off. It's a waste of gas.

by not flooring it all the time. you only spool the turbo's up into boost when you are pushing the throttle a lot. most turbo kits can get full boost at 2400rpm but that's going to be at full throttle.

I have been working alot so I havent been able to take it to the track like i wanted. July 31st at KilKare Speedway in Xena Ohio is going to be a big show and racing event. I plan on racing it there. This is my first manual and boosted car, so i am trying to make sure that I put on a good show for all of you, no sence in running bad times because of a bad driver. I have been practicing my launches and have been getting very good at it. I should be able to race it soon, I promise. I will definately be at that event on July 31st, so i will have video of me racing it. If I can I will be trying to get some night video of me playing around with some decently fast cars. That will be coming soon aswell. With all the people trying to put down ZPI, I wanted to make sure I did everything right. There turbo kit is everything they are saying it is. Kick ___!!!! If you dont buy it your dumb for waiting. This kit has surprised alot of people in Cincy. I have pulled up to alot of cars, and since my exhaust is stock (for now), they never expect a thing. I plan on putting the ZPI exhaust on in the next week or two, so that will be on the video too. Please feel free to AIM me if you have any questions, I have been working alot of hours lately, trying to come up with some money for more performance parts. So if I am not on here to respond to your questions fast enough i am sorry in advance.

Thanks,
David

I believe he got it installed by ZPI. Everything on the kit should be bolt on so if you're pretty mechanically inclined I'm sure you could install it by yourself otherwise take it to a shop.

I can say from experience driving David's car that boost is INSTANT, by 3200 rpm the turbo is at FULL boost and pulling all the way to the very restrictive 6250rpm redline.................but a emanage ultimate will fix that.....


injectors
emanage U
tune

^ you need these David,
big.....or home......choose one :-)
