What does a stock srt-10 Ram Ext. cab run in the 1/4 mile? TNViper, you out there buddy? We're going to the track alnog with a buddy who has a 08 Vette and the three of us are going to play.:bigwink: I'm just trying to see how my SRT-8 will run against the Viper truck.
Au contrairé, my friend. SRT-10 QC's run mid 13's bone stock. SRT-10 RC's run low 13's bone stock. Simple CAI, cat delete, and cat-back will drop almost 1/2 a second from either. The record, IIRC, is 12.6 in a RC....by a guy named Trainman who's a power-shifting monster.
I ran 13.8 with long tube and highflow cats and catback Regular cab.No slicks. All srt8s will eat our regular and quad cabs.Put slicks on,will help a lot.Have some fun racing that big ass truck down the track,also let us know how you do.My jeepsrt8 runs 12.48.
I'll have to look, but I think my best was 13.1 or 13.2 with CAI and catback. No slicks, so I spun going 1-2 and 2-3. Even if you level the power/weight field and gave equal traction, the SRT-8's still have a distinct advantage: AERODYNAMICS. With 32 sq.ft. of frontal area, pushing the trucks is the same as pushing a 4x8 sheet of plywood.
Thanks for the info guys. I'll keep you posted how it turns out. I would love to beat my friends c-6 Vette because he's been talkin smack. Maybe he'll blow the launch or miss a gear!!!
Not the RC. I have ran the wifes RC up here (DA = 7000') and I put down a 14.1 (with my DA being so high, take off a full second for correction factor). I also missed 3 gear. haha The RC versus an SRT8 will be a drivers race if stock for stock.
In that case I'm glad my buddy has the ext. cab. I'm not stock but pretty close. Corsa, highflow cats, Airhammer, and a CMR tune from Injected.
Yea, me and Maureen have raced four times back when my car was CAI and Zoomers only. I am 2W and 2L. Maureen can drive like no other. And she has NEVER missed a gear.
I have seen many a timeslip showing low 13s for stock RCs..and a few high 12s as Kevan mentioned....the truck is hard to launch so many people see the RC 10s run 14s & 15s at the track.....this gives a false impression that the SRT10 is slower than an SRT8....a race between the 2 is a drivers race.........the QCs are about .5 seconds slower due to weight but somewhat easier to launch and more consistant being an auto...
OK..... here's the skinny. My buddies SRT-10 EC ran a 13.5. My best was a 12.86. His 60' times were better than mine.That big heavy ass truck was a handfull for me to reel in!! We had a blast even though the Vette didn't make it.
13.5 is about as fast as a stock QC will run under the best conditions with a good driver.....most need a flash to see mid 13s. ............and yeah, heavy, that is why we need the low end torque monster under the hood.
What's a good mod starting point for him? I'M sure CAI and T-stat. He got heat soaked pretty quick. Hows the exhaust in his truck and does Diablo have a Preditor for V-10s? Thanks for the advise.
He needs to buy the SCT tuner from Stinker. It is not really a tuner like the preditor but it will store 3 different tunes plus the stock tune. He can get tunes from any SCT/Viper tuner by email. Stinker can handle the tunes also. Removing the cats will get him about 20-30HP......and a good tune to that and he will gain about 75HP..a 172 stat would help too.........a CAI is a waste of money....just do a drop in K&N filter in the stock box and it will get all the air it needs.
Ok...I will run any srt8. I just don't believe that a decent driver in an 8 stock can take me...I'm all stock/rc 04. I live in north east, North Carolina, beside northeast dragway, in hertford. Come on out and see me. It's only an 1/8 here, but its good racing. There are quite a few more tracks around here also. I will drive to meet you also...
Kevan there is a guy here in Texas (Little River) that is on VTCOA that I have been to the track with that has run 12.5 and 12.4 in his 04 RC. ARRESTmeRed04 is his forum name his mods are bassani's, catless mids, magnaflow, SCT and caltracs but TONS of practice
