Well guys and gals I've been on this forum for around 3 years now and have seen some amazing developments on visual and horsepower improvments on our beloved Crossfires...but have we hit a brick wall with the SRT in the power department?

I know this question has been asked before but is the SRT really limited to a low 12 second car or an occasional very high 11 if theres abit of tail wind?

I know i know you can get nitrous and go much quicker but thats not really that answer.

it seems people have given up and the real power hungry members just go straight to the V8 and the rest of us seem to be happy with what we've got?

From what I gather this is what we have...

The Cold Air Intake: whether you have the needswings, custom design, dual single they are all great and make our cars faster with more hp thats a given. tick of approval there.

The Pulleys: Same thing here, Code 3, 178, 181 etc etc.....we'd all have to agree although the bigger crank pulleys make more HP the q/mile times dont differ all that much...so another tick of approval pulleys work.

The Tunes: I myself have the InMotion tune..to be perfectly honest I went from a 12.6 to a 12.3 after my tune, after that I disconnected my battery then the next time round I could never get better then a 12.5 and never have since, whether disconnecting the battery or not had something to do with it I'll never know but it does seem my tunes somehow dissapeared. But all in all most of here have seen 2 to 4 tenths of our q/mile times with a tune so I guess the tune is also a proven power adder.

The above 3 as we know do work and do help our cars go faster some more then others but the numbers are there.

Now where do we go from here? headers were designed but no one reported on them so I'm guessing they were a FAIL? everyone here states that exhaust does not really help the car go faster, but it does add HP so thats another FAIL, intake manifolds in my eyes dont help because there are a few people that have them and there results are hardly different to those that dont have them...

so in conclusion to my rant where have we gone wrong? were apart of the lucky few that have cars that are incredibly fast from the factory but yet we cant make them into monster unless nitrous or a turbo is fitted

anyway i've put my thoughts in writing what do you all think? is there a way forward for the SRT? or will we forever been confined to low 12's lol
