Maybe less. Once i see i cant improve once i get pulley and tune i'll probably stop. unless of course there are more worthwhile mods out there... The open downpipes from Needswings are BAD ***. but too much $$$ as of now. I do feel guilty running the car hard so that should stop me from over doing it. I hope! how many trips and hard launches down the track does it take for the dif to fail??? its seems like just recently that all this stuff has been coming up.
the timesyou are running are just fine,, Randy and I ran 8.4 to 8.6 at countyline when we were both almost stock, as you get use to dragracing your time will go down my 1/8 is 7.9 and my 1/4 is 12.2 so you can see where you are. not long till you will go faster than me. as for the rear .,i would say you are good as randy and i oh and his daughter all three of us must have ran 100 times before anyone had trouble with the rear end.and a few hundredafter we heard the diff were a problem . don't forget there are only 4 or 5 out of 2000 or so of the srt6's that did have diff. trouble,, my first diff was changed because of howling, ,, the second one was replaced because the yoke was over torqued (bound up the diff) now the one i have now is fine justed counted the trips down the strip sence i put this rear into the car. 67 times down the strip and well over 100 hard starts (wot) on the street, so in my opinion you are safe. so go have fun,, I am having cadaract surgury monday so in late Sept , i will be going to moroso or maybe homestead.
