**silverbullit1972** · 08-03-2007, 07:10 AM

I was on my way to work yesterday. When i see this black charger coming up on me, so i thought time to show this guy wat the ls1 is all about. I was shocked he beat me pretty badly i talked to the guy he said he was pushing about 460 horses is it normal for my Formula to lose stock except for the ram mod and k and N

THAT SUCKS... i remember when i was by Mt. Rainier... and i raced a Daytona... and he gunned it behind me... those things are fast... oh ya i downshifted 2 gears and beat him! They can be quick...

**silverbullit1972** · 08-03-2007, 07:55 AM

yea i cant down shift a4 wat do you sugest only have about 500 hundred to spend right now

**OnEbAdReDSS** · 08-03-2007, 07:57 AM

Wasn't suggesting anything... just saying i raced one... 500 bucks... headers/Y pipe! and then just dump the Mofo

**silverbullit1972** · 08-03-2007, 07:58 AM

sorry i didn't mean it in that way i just wanted to know wat parts i should get with the 500 bucks. were can i get that deal online?

**OnEbAdReDSS** · 08-03-2007, 08:14 AM

Shit you can get that on ebay for like less then 500... then just do a coolant bypass and you'll be set... you'll run a little rich for a while... besure to get a tuner to you can tune it with headers! WAY MORE HP BABY!

slp air lid, 100 bucks for 10 ponies, gears... 3.73... especially if your auto has 2.73

**OnEbAdReDSS** · 08-03-2007, 11:18 AM

hmmm he has a point... 3.73's would be some butt horsepower..

**OnEbAdReDSS** · 08-03-2007, 11:19 AM

but you got to think of the install on that... do you expect to install the 3.73's... and the lid ain't much much... i would rather go with LT's and Y Pipe... i found the whole set up for 425 on ebay... and then buy a used SLP lid... you be with those chargers soon!

no way it was stock then......i beat a hemi-charger srt-8 by 2 cars...let off @ 132 mph

I agree with Jesusfan, the SRT8 is rated at 425 horses but they weigh 4,000 pounds and i believe they run on 2:92 gears the same as the Daytona's. The SRT8 is quoted by dodge to do 0-60 in 5.2 seconds and 1/4 mile in 13.6 seconds again not good times for the horsepower because of the weight. The Daytonas have 350 horses and hit 0-60 in 5.6 seconds and 1/4 in 14.0 seconds. The regular hemi motors are rated at 10 horses lower than the Daytona. The sales brochures on all of these show the gears being the 2.92's

**silverbullit1972** · 08-04-2007, 06:38 AM

yeah he says he has zoomer exhuast ran him 1000 bucks true duals and k and n intake, and last but not least programer he said he ran 13.2 before the programer

stall converter

**silverbullit1972** · 08-04-2007, 07:04 AM

stall will help but headers and y pipe will, also make my car louder. by the way i got the lid on its way

**nhraformula** · 08-04-2007, 10:46 AM

there is no better mod to do to an automatic car than a stall.
even with a 3000 rpm stall, youll lose a half second. the same cannot be said about headers

**silverbullit1972** · 08-04-2007, 02:07 PM

yes i know but headers are just so tempting im trying to get a package off ebay

What are the reducers used for... do i need them?

**MikeSomething** · 08-04-2007, 06:02 PM

Stock Daytona's are nothing to an LS1... I've raced one when I was stock and he was stupid enough to try me doing 70mph... Well, you know what happened...

SRT-8s have 3:06 gears and run low 13s with 108-110mph traps. However they are quirky at the dragstrip but great on the highway. That guy should have quote Rwhp instead of the crank hp he wished he had after his mods.
