SRT Brakes on NA
I autocross regularly in the summer, and put the SRT brakes on my NA over the winter. I have been holding off on posting anything until I got some results, but now I've got 3 races in and the SRT brakes made a HUGE difference. The NA is lighter than the SRT, and while the rear brakes aren't that much different, the fronts are much bigger (rotors, pads, dual calipers). There is an increase in rotational mass, but it is worth it. I can driver deeper into the corners, then get a solid plant before rotation. I got the brakes from MrMoPar, and between him and other SRT owners who have upgraded their brakes, others should be available. It was a fairly easy retrofit, with preparation being the most important step.
I also upgraded to SRT springs and shocks, so the car has less body roll around corners, but the brakes made the biggest difference.
I also added the NeedsWings CAI, 74mm TB (with the Waldig shaping / polish) and a Eurocharged tune over the winter, so that helps as well.
In the three clubs I race in, with mostly regulars in a variety of cars and classes, I was finishing at or near the top of my class, and about in the top third of all cars over the past two years. With all the upgrades this year, I finished first in my class in all three clubs (and in two clubs I moved up a class), and finished third once, and fourth twice overall. One of the clubs is a Corvette club, and that is the group I finished third in. THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN BEATING A VETTE!!!!!!!!
Happy Racing.
