RENNtech CL65 race video
http://upload.streetfire.net/video/a...-sl_211127.htm

About 3 minutes in you see the modded SRT4 that raced the CL65 ...the CL65 comes in around the 4 minute mark.

The guy posted it on the forum below ...but claims the CL65 is running GT3076r turbos...

Hmmm....FL...silver CL65...RENNtech airboxes....sounds familiar...

Maybe the bottle went empty, or the afterburner didn't start or he started in the wrong gear.

HA! Awesome vid.

Still, RENN never built a car with those turbos - so whatever RENN stuff the guy is running, it's not doing his turbos any favors!

I do website and artwork for RENN.

You can't just go swapping parts and slapping on turbos and expect a car to run right. So even if this guy does have aftermarket turbos, the RENN software won't work right and he might even be down on power. Same thing happens sometimes with headers - some software files, combined with some header designs, lead to over-lean conditions in some cylinders. There is no "universal" tune that works with "all" headers or exhausts or intakes.

By the way, this is why most legitimate tuners will recommend against building Frankencars with mix-n-match parts - they were never tested together, and almost every car with "generic" software and "brand x" headers and "ACME" airboxes (etc.) will have problems.

Oh okay...I thought you meant that for the RENNtech software on stock turbos...
