Thats what I figured. So the guy I talked to with the 300c Srt-8 is full of ****. He claims with just intake,high flow cats,exhaust,tune he ran 12.0@116 well of course drag radials.

That is more like head/cam range. Question I just got in my mind - will a higher stall torque converter help the mph?

Will does have a higher stall converter installed but Jon fails to mention that. As far as cams I am not 100% sure whether Will had a pr installed or not. But I know that Will never has a reason to lie about his runs (that he usually posts on video) which Jon apparently wants to imply.

He never mentioned the high stall converter.

I'm just stating what he said he has done. Hard to believe with just the boltons he mentioned traps 116+.

Ranger traps higher with drag radials. Add the higher stall and it looks plausible.

Drag radials doesnt increase trap speed! It improves your 60ft. That means if I use drag radials my Clk55 is going to trap 110+!?

Not for you but for a car that has the weight and power level of a C6Z and ZR1, the fastest trap speeds have been with drag radials.
