Ok folks.....
had the ole blown v6 out at the track tonight for her initial flogging
we ran a 16.4@83.....this did not make me very happy, even though my last
run
with out it was a 17.9@76..UNTIL.....i walk over to a pair of R/T owners and
talk
to them...both of them had 2000 model R/T's...one guy had the mopar intake
and
computer....the other guy had the intake, computer, mp cam, and what he
called
an mp full exhaust system(didnt know this existed). The one with just the
intake
and the computer ran a 16.3@87 and the one with more mods ran a
15.3@something. So now
i am a lot more happy with the whole deal, running 1 tenth slower than an
R/T is pretty
impressive to me. Plans for next time include switching back to the stock
15x7 rims with stickier
rubber...the v6 doesnt have enough torque to turn those 17's off of the
line...and add in the
intercooler.....then i should be in the 15's and with cooler weather(in was
damn hot tonight) in the distant future.. whoa baby!!!!
