Let me start by saying what a pleasure it was to meet amx1397(Jim) today. That "TOP SECRET" intake was neat looking, and as promised, will NOT be posting pics of it until it is released. It's sweet looking, for sure. Also met another N/A owner that happened to see our cars out. He left before I caught his name.

Now to the good stuff. Let me remind folks that I only run a DIY CAI, no tune, no pulley, on stock size street tires. My best run of the day was a 12.725 @ 110.14 with a 1.869 60'. I really need to start data logging, and maybe get a tune/pulley later on to put some heat on my comrades.

 

Anolther "monster" created. Will the modding never end.....lol....

 

I only have that cold air, she(Kim) won't allow anything else be done to the car. We'll see what new street tires and hopefully negative DA will do later on. My cousin had a great day in his 300C SRT-8. He started the day off running 12.816@109.77 and finished with a 12.321@112.21.

Jim(amx1397) ran an 11.3??@123 if I remember right. I'll have to post the video, if someone hasn't already. Good times and good times with great people!

 

it was nice meeting up with all of you, and seeing Kim ,and Neil... you guys had some nice runs,,,I only got 1 & 1/2 runs in with the temp 79 to 80 degrees , my one good run was 1.76 60',,11.38 @ 123.66 ,,, the other run was 15.7 @ 71 mph yep tires broke loose jusr before the 60' mark,,,I still had a great time ,, My daughter and her husband came along with me ,c they did all the work changing my tires,, ,,she got some video's I'll try to post some tomorrow,, we have to do this again soon,,
maybe all of you can come to Palm beach for Mopar day meet I'll post the date soon also...
thanks all for a nice day. Chuk nice car ,, Neil I didn't get to see your son run how did he do? jim

 

Great seeing you guys again! My best, spinning, was a 12.0 @ 115mph. I really thought my new Mickey Thompson drag radials would have hooked a lot better. A major disappointment indeed. One race I had to let go of the gas and then floor it again, only to spin yet again. I hook better on the street! Oh well, it was still a great time. My son with his stock turbo on street tires had a best of 13.0 @111 mph. Far from his best of 12.2. I do love Jim's car and especially his custom Needswings dual prototype CAI. What a beauty! It should sell like hotcakes if anyone wants the best one on the market, that's for sure. And it does give me some ideas to even improve my custom cai too. Looking forward to seeing some of those videos. Jim, I should be able to attend the all Mopar SRT shootout at PBIR. Really looking forward to it.

 

As the "she" referenced by Chuk - you are right, I want to keep our beautiful SRT in great shape. I really wouldn't mind getting another high mile example that we could go all Frankenstein on & turn into a beast.

It was a great time seeing everyone out at the track. Even though I didn't run it was a GREAT day!!! My car was running like a demon on the way home so I think she was inspired by the great runs we saw today.

There was a MB out there that was 2500hp and capable of running the quarter mile in 6 sec @ 220mph. Funny thing is that it had a HEMI!!!! I posted pics of that beast on FB. The best run it had Sunday was 199mph after blowing a belt & getting squirley at the start. What a monster!!!

 

here are some of the videos,, just hit next for the next one . you gota read fast to see the time,, my daughter didn't stay on the score board very long,,,saving the batt ..

 

Of course you got the video of me spinning so bad off the line that I lost to that car. He ran a 12.1 and we both left the line at the same time with a .1 reaction time. I could have easily beaten him if I also hooked.

 

go there again and when you have seen you lose,, then you can hit next and see you win beating the mustang GT .. LOL i knew you would see that and say why jim! you did great neil.. jim

 

Holy crap...what kind of motor was in that Valiant?

 

Some nice V8 for sure. I was slowly reeling him in but lost too much to him at the launch. I hate seeing tailights as soon as we take off.
