Default Re: More boost more power?

You make a great point - It's something I've wondered about since running the mile. Not so much as the sweet spot for the SC'r but when is the optimal time to shift for SRT6.

Perhaps one way to find would be to run a set of dyno pulls in each gear to find that "sweet spot". Not sure. I know some drag racers use a "shift light" on their tack to alert them - I'm just not sure how they calculate when the light should to come on.. Perhaps someone with a lot of drag racing experience could add to this.

Remember - the fastest SRT6 in the 1/4 mile runs a 181mm.

MikeR just ran a 12.07 sec. 1/4 mile with the 181mm / SL55 / LET tune combo.

It wasn't but a year ago when a 12.40 run got everyone all excited.

The margins between a 181 and 185 are even closer.

There's still a lot more potential in these engines and I think 240M3SRT6 & BDJ are going to tap into it.

Hang on tight.....
