1/4 MILE TIMES WITH STAGE 1

[TurboCruiser13]

We usually have 4 or 5 PTs out here at cali speeday at each event, sometimes more when everybody can get off work or isn't installing some new goodies lol. I think the next event out here is on the 13th if I remember right...Hoping to find someone willing to get rid of some drag radials for a good price or else I'm gonna be stuck at 14.5 all day long

Mine were gapped at .040 and the famous hi rpm stumble disappeared. Also get some aftermarket plug wires like Magnecore or Crane. Factory wires suck. Save your money on the Airade intake. Just get a K&N drop in filter, remove the two silencers in your airbox and replace the turbo to airbox pipe. Intakes are expensive and if you are luck you might get 4 hp. Do as I suggest and it will be a lot cheaper to get the same result.

thanks for the advise, i've thought the same thing before

I have an '04 Dream Cruiser, Autostick, with S1, 3" Exhaust, and a K&N air filter...

My best stock time was: 15.0 @ 92

...and with the modifications above [along with a set of drag radials(29 PSI)]: 14.132 @ 98.32 MPH

damn guys you're blasting away my times help me out here, ok i am currently at s0 now with only a oil catch can and gauges (whoopee) i need at least mid 14's to be happy. help me out i am working on getting a s2 wga and s1 kit this month (that seems to be a very common upgrade) i am a lil reluctant on a downpipe because from what i understod it could void my powertrain warranty and since i only have 21,000 i kinda wanna work around the warranty for now. i also have a block off plate i had purchased hoping to use my hks ssqc bov but it doesnt seem that too many pt or srt's are doing this. is there a particular reason that i am not aware of? i would like to do something around the bov wether it be the mopar upgrade or using the plate any info or thoughts are very welcome.

If you are not going past stage 1 then the Mopar noisemaker bov will do. If you are going to go beyond stage 1 numbers and up the boost then I would use the HKS SSQV bov. My GT was beyond stage 2 and I had the HKS SSQV bov because it is adjustable. Go ahead and use your HKS SSQV bov. It's great for stage 1 or beyond. They are excellent. I plan on getting one for my SRT4.

With mods in my signature...

Best of 13.9 @ 101mph Its pretty hot here right now so i should run better in the winter plus I'll have my exhaust and downpipe on



Breaking 14 secs with what you got and expecting better when it gets colder. Got a time slip to show off? Don't know of anyone coming in under 14 secs without more mods (water injection, Psi Fi Power Paq, downpipe, etc). Please satisfy my curiosity.

Seems to me that a year ago Rice_Killing_GT ran a 14.2 with just Stage 1 and the Turbo XS Dual Stage boost controller, and that was at that lousy track in SoCal. If the IceMan has the added benefit of a 3" turbo back exhaust and the AGP wastegate, plus a track that most likely isn't any worse and most likely better, then I can see him taking .3 off that time. I think he'll be hard pressed to do much better, but he might.
