Stock srt6 vs lightly modded srt8...read the video description and see here:

The film started right after the third honk and it jumped on me a bit, but not for long. After the video we put 285/30 proxes on the 6 and it could get a jump on my 275/40s off the line everytime.
I need to make another video because now we are even again with her Needswing CAI added vs all the mods I've done to my SRT8. Same story as stock, the 6 pulls me midrange thru the gears and I pull back on top end.
The $ per horsepower gained on the 6 beats the 8's anyday though, no question about that...
The track, elevation and DA is what hindered my Chargers(and all of my cars' times). I was(and still hold the "record") the fastest local LX to race out here. My buddy has a modded Magnum SRT-8 which has run a best of 13.2@104 here at LVMS and he came with me to Famoso to race and instantly dropped to a 12.7@109 with a 1600DA(instead of 3000-6000DA). You could shave another .1-.2 if it was a negative DA day. Nobody seems to ever comprehend the differences in elevation until they come out and experience it for themselves.
