What do u guys think. I don't know much a bout trucks but I know the srt-10 runs 13.8 stock. I'm supposed to race a supercharged one, I'm pretty much toast aren't I. MY mods are in my sig. Goin down this saturday maybe will let you guys know what happens.

 

They run around mid to low 13's I believe and they are supercharged out of the factory. I think it will be a drivers race giving you the upper hand since you have the z. Good luck.

 

Your kidding right....amazing what a search engine can do....

 

They are not supercharged from the factory. Gen 2 Ford Lightnings are.

SRT-10 Rams have the Viper's V-10, naturally aspirated. There are, however, several supercharger kits available to fit that engine.

If it's stock, I think it would be an interesting race. If he's really blown, you're toast.

 

I still really wonder why anyone would develop a kit for such a low production # vehicle....

 

because people that spend that much money on a low production vehicle will generally pay a lot more for the mods... so as a percentage, the profits will be a lot higher.

 

Bingo. That, and it's a Viper engine. Aftermarket R&D is already done.

 

Well, how many Vipers are produced each year? We talking about 30,000 a year?

 

What does the production # matter? The parts are already developed, and are sold for quite the premium.

 

How many supercharged SRT-10's do you think are going to be floating around? 1500 were made and if 10%(who know's) of the people buying do something like that..not to many kits are going to be sold then.

Just because you can afford an SRT-10 does not automatically make you stupid when it comes to buying kits...your still going to shop around, meaning companies cannot charge $20K for a $4K kit just because you have money.

 

I don't know, that kinda remains to be seen, doesn't it?

 

Thanks for the info. I have not read up on them and because they beat the lightning I assumed they already were blown. Good to learn something new .

 

I would be surprised if there will be more than a handful in the nation.

Who knows.

 

Maybe there will, and maybe there won't. What I do know, is that around me supercharged Vipers are almost a dime a dozen. I'd say a good half of the Vipers local to me are not anywhere near stock. I'm betting this truck (like the Lightnings) will be much the same. A little power is good, but a lot is great

 

The production number is not important in itself.
It's just the fact that lower production numbers equals a higher value vehicle. People that spend 50k on a car will most likely be willing to spend more dough on an intake than those that spent only 10k on their car.
