street racing on the track
Last night Rudy and I, went to the local 1/8 mile track, 4 Rolling St. racing, first of all Rudy and I both were astounded, neither of us have ever seen this on a track before.they had it set up, that you could choose you want to race, you can go from dead still, or you can go from 20, 30 or 40 miles an hour.I drove it three times, From 40 miles an hour won all three. then turn the car over to Rudy, he drove it for,, I don't know how many times, all 40 miles an hour, and he want every time. Then I turn the car over to the wife of the owner of JS Benz, and she won,finally at 1:30 the racing was over and Rudy and I were talking this is the most fun we've had in a long time at drag strip,The track does this every Wednesday night, I was told that last night was a slow night, yet there were over 100 cars. Nor organizers doing this to get the racing off the street. Oh did I tell you, yes Rudy is down here. We had a blast and were going to do it again next Wednesday or we may go to the quarter-mile track. I'll explain to everyone the mods that we putting on my car when this is all over. 1 is The TCM that Rudy built for me, for the 3.27 rear ratio is absolutely great.
P.S. did i tell you Rudy is down here

Sounds like ya'll had a great time. Wish i had been there. Tell Rudy i said hello. Tell us more about the TCU and what that will do for you in the 1/4.
yes i do. I have been working on this since December, the TCM I got from eroucharge did not work, but the one I got from Rudy and speed driven does work ,,for the last 30 days i have tested it up to about 140, and on the 1/8 mile track,,next week we go to1/4 mile track ,OH! if i want i can put a Dodge Challenger differential, and Axels with the 3.91 gears ,, it does Require quite a bit of rework of the rear suspension, only to mount it .. jim

Thanks for your help
That sounds great, ill have to pm rudy, he is Rcompart correct? Im looking at doing the 3.27 gears and a wavetrac. Is the TCM your talking about the same TCU that is under the passenger floorboard or somthing different? If it is thats great, my last question is with the taller gears does it affect the mph in each gear? What I mean is autocross for me 2nd is a perfect gear, just tall enough for that type of racing, does it lower the mph much in 2nd?
Thanks for your help
Thanks for your help
2rpm is higher, example not exact but close as my memory sometimes gets gone. lol.
srt6 =3.07 @ 80 mph =2500rpm
3.27@ 80 mph = 2700 rpm
top end 3.07 gears 167mph
top end 3.27 gears 155mph
remember these are not dead on the money because your tire high will make it change my tires are 27.1" tall stock srt6 and limited tires are 26" tall
My 1/8 et went down 1 tenth, but mph went up by 4 mph.
3.07 1/8 7.3 @ 97.4mph and this was with a slipping transmission
3.27 1/8 7.1 @ 100.8 mph. and this was with a slipping transmission
