Heading to Silver Dollar drags this weekend

Silver dollar is having their annual Spring MCE track day, so I am heading out there. Weather looks like 30% isolated thunder showers, so hopefully it will miss us.

Interested to see if the new mods spice things up a bit

28" Slicks



3000 stall



Adjustable Camber arms



SRT8 3.06 gears



15lb race battery



E63 front end conv

You refering to dyno numbers?

Yes, nothing has changed since last time where I put down 532rwhp/704rwtq on BIP's Dynamics Dyno, and 611rwhp/708rwtq on a local dynojet.

Thanks Elliot, remember this time last year you were at this event where you ran a PB

Will be bringing the regular 255 Hoosier radials too, and see if I can hit 130mph traps. I will be working on getting my 60's down into the 1.5x or hopefully 1.4x range with the 28" slicks. Alot to adjust too with the camber arms, so this will be more of a tweaking test and tune, not expecting anything outrageous time wise.

I remember.
Got a PB at the time and a broke tranny. And had a sh*t load of fun with you and Jason. Looking forward to doing it again on the next one.

I was planning on attending, but had a pipe burst behind one of my basement walls and flood the basement. Will spend the weekend doing damage control!

Bart, sorry that happened brotha. Hopefully it is not as bad as it looks.

Onething I would like to say is the 3000 stall is UNBELIEVABLE. It drives like stock but once it stalls, all hell breaks lose. You can also load it up close to 3000rpms from s stop without the car moving an inch.

The 3.06 srt8 Chrysler gear has also changed the car completely. It obviously revs through the rpm range much quicker, shifts seem faster and the tcu fix by jerry is working flawlessly. Sled feels much lighter on its feet, but tomorrow while be the true test.

Gears snd stall make this thing kick like a mule with blue ballzzzz.
