dame srt-4

Well I was driving home from watching the game in my SS and here comes a yellow srt-4. This is the second time I have seen this guy and he has tried to race me. I was trying to catch a light so we could go from a stop (auto gearing sucks from a roll). Well that didn't happen we ended up taking off from 37ish, witch is not good for an auto. So there we go and I am pulling till I hit 3rd gear and he pulls up next to me and we had to let off before I got to hit top of 3rd. That dame thing was fast and lowed.

Later

He must have had a mod or two to reel you in in 3rd gear. That's where you should have walked away from him with an LS1.

Sounds like it was a good race. I've only ran one before and it was on the highway. Late at night, 70 mph roll. I pulled about 5 cars on him past 100. Still, for the money they are pretty damn fast. There is a few videos I got off of Racingflix.com of some chick in a modded one on slicks beating an (i think) 1st gen viper RT-10

Ya he has some stuff done to it. I talked to a friend of mine that hangs with the rice and he says he has a lot of stuff done to it. The blow off valve was very lowed.

It didn't help that I had 300 pounds of extra weight in my car.

Just FYI, the blow off valve he had does nothing for performance, it just sounds cool. In all seriousness, all it would take for my SRT-4 for run right with an LS1 is a $5 spring mod which gives right about 4psi.

I'm not sure what you're talking about. If you're calling BS, I suggest you do your homework...it seems you don't know what you're talking about.

Really? Could you still run pump gas and stomp the sh** out of the car for 100,000+ miles with this mod, with no ill effects?
