Anyone know how accurate Evoscan's HP calculator is? It says 419 HP and 350 lb ft. It felt really good, but not that good. I was running 93% duty cycle on the injectors during some of those pulls at around 21 PSI. I guess the meth is going to have to be a priority repair now.

I don't know if you guys remember my ghetto fabulous intake, but that's what caused my meth pump to stay on. It pushed the system relay down and that grounded out on the frame and turned the pump on. Oops. It's fixed now but I want to install and activation LED on my gauge pillar so I know when it's active.

Dodge (mopar) and GM have "stage" kits for srt-4's and cobalts. I always hated hearing people quote mods lists as a stage 4 t3 turbo stage 5 clutch and all kinda BS, so then when dodge and gm made their setups it made it even more commonplace for people to say it.
The kits actually make some good powers on the cars when setup correctly.

i was just going to say that. i had an srt4. i think stage one was intercooler hard pipes and something else. i forget what stage two was and stage 3 was a whole turbo upgrade. they were all made by mopar but still voided your warranty which was always interesting.

my stepfather has a 08 mustang cs/gt that he did a full exhaust, intake, throttle body and plenum, aftermarket tune (which makes it run like ****) and he still has a warranty the dealership here told him that changing his rear diff gears will void his warranty

makes me wish mitsu was like ford in some ways.

Sorry I missed the cruise yesterday guys. I would have rolled out in the Cooper if I was home. I went to that bachelors party sat night, got home at 2:30 and got up again at 6:45 and drove to OCMD. Put in a little qt with the wifey... I have a felling it would have been hard to keep up anyways, the S doesn't exactly light the straightaways on fire... Sorry I missed checking out your crib Jeff, that would have been cool. Hopefully I'll get my car back next weekend, although that has yet to be confirmed.

Enjoy your day off guys!

I was under the impression that if a mopar certified tech at a dodge dealership installed the parts it was under warranty.
stage one for a srt4 was bigger injectors and a new tuned ecu, stage 2 was bigger injectors, "turbo toys" (race gas switch, intercooler sprayer, and a few other switches), and another ecu i think, and stage 3 is a new turbo setup. Along with this Dodge also had a few other mods to compliment these, but from what i found stage 3 combined with select aftermarket parts is a great combo.
A friend of mine has a stage3 setup with bolt ons and has ran a mid/high 11's driving to the track, bolting on slicks and driving home.

I just got an update... I won't have my car next weekend. Oh well... Looks like I'll be looking for a ride for the autox on the 20th. I don't want to miss another event.
