Re: first to 500hp
My car is plenty fast enough for me. I'll keep it the way it is. I don't think the risk of reduced reliability is worth a couple of tenths 0-60 as I don't drag race my car.
Re: first to 500hp
Congrats MD SRT6 -
I think that's awesome - you have the exhaust and tires to really light up the track. I look forward to reading your track experience.
I don't think I would ever go with a NOS system - but I won't ever call it cheating. (Unless it whoops me at the track) It's just that most of my fun is in the canyons between 2nd and 3rd gear - and some sprints in 4th.
But I can't say you don't have me thinking - - SpeedInnovation dyno tuned me at 317WHP on a Dyno Dynamics on a 90deg day. (with the $3,500 in mods in my sig.)
If I add a 110HP NOS Shot like your setup - that would take me to 427WHP on a Dyno-Dynamics - which calculates to 584HP at the crank... Perhaps add the LET Headers a larger HE & colder thermostat, tweek the tune a little - - Maybe be the first to get to 600hp at the Crank??
I'll think about it - but my next mods are going to be:
1) New HE & Johnson Pump
2) Separate the Engine & HE coolant.
3) Polish up some engine parts for some sparkle.
4) K40 Radar Detector.
5) JVC KD-AVX44 Stereo with rear speakers and a back-up cam.
I think I'll get more mileage out of them - unless Code3 offers a S/C pully to compliment my 185mm. (this pulley still amazes me - am I glad I got the big one)

I am really going to consider the LET turbo set up.. it is one of the reasons I have not done any of the pulley/ecu modifications yet..

I love all crossfires but the srt-6 should still be their "daddy"

Re: first to 500 hp
As someone who has met MDsrt6, let me just say he is definitely not "snooty". He is a good guy and a very down to earth person. He openned his shop to members here in MD he never even met before and had some of his mechanics on hand to install parts free of charge. He is a good guy and is very genuine. His setup is definitely no hack job nitrous kit slapped on a srt6. This thing is very impressive in person. Can't wait to see what it does on the track. Hopefully we can get a few srt6's in the area together sometime for a track day and lay waste to the competition.
On a side note, that NW intake is a beast!

Slidez Come on now I own both the vet is a softer riding car and more roomy then the crossfire. The viper is closer to the crossfire as far as cockpit room.
-Z06 and Viper cost um... 3times more? but you are oblivious to that as well?
Originally priced the Crossfire was the same as a zo6 vet, but the crossfires never sold and then we got *** kicking deals, same would probably apply to a vet if you could find a 2 1/2-3yr left over.
-Corvette for one are a dime a dozen with design that will be updated constantly, the viper to a lesser extent, but not so with the Crossfire
-Maybe just maybe he is a fan of the Crossfire and is not interested in most other vehicles..? Fact that my wife constantly reminded me of daily was my zo6 was a dime a dozen, but the 2002 Viper RT10 is pretty rare.
Hey MD SRT-6, why not just get a Buggati Veyron?
On a more clearer scale saying nitrous is cheating, is like saying outsourcing is cheating.. it is what it is... it is a tried and true method of making power.. that if done incorrectly can cause major damage and I applaud your barevery for being the first to try such a large shot, but now that you posted this thread you owe us some pictures and more clear information

As for the stock engine "handling" more power than the SRT6, don't worry. The stock engine could easily produce more than the "stock" SRT6, but once you start putting boost into the equation, the SRT6 can always put out more.

Re: first to 500 hp
I did not get a Z06 or viper, because I like the srt-6. And the driveline loss depends partailly on what kind of dyno is used, the guy who did my car said it was a 22% loss on his machine( and he is a professional racer). So I just went with 20%, I will post dyno results soon, the guy gave them to me on a disc and I am going to clip out some pics and post as soon as I figure out how to do so! Thanks to some of you for the support. I learn alot on this forum. #1 alot of good people #2 alot of haters

Re: first to 500 hp
I'm more interessted in seeing what someone can do with the limited how much Nitrouse can that car take? but it should be fun to run an SRT6 on turbos.
I always figured keeping the same OEM pressures would yield a good gain in hp, since the SC is sucking about 50-60hp depending on load.

Re: first to 500hp
Just wanted to note that 110 shot doesnt necessarily add 110 hp at the crank or the wheels. Its just a rough way of describing what size pills your running. I think you probably know this though.
