drako Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 well right now a tune will cost a few hundred bucks so will a CAI and headers esp long tubes w/installation. those are all very beneficial to the S/C but you can put that in the pot to getting closer to beat your buddy. just a thought. no i was just wondering about the fluids or you can do nitrous. cheap and easy just use it responsibly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
—Bauker™— Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 150 wet shot... that and a good tranny will get you down there really quick... fairly inexpensive too <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. For a grand you can do the NX kit, tr6 plugs, and programming. I walked the ish out of one the other day . Good times. Just make sure you get traction, 150 extra hp tends to lite the tires up.

zippy Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 My recomendation, start off with the basics. HP Tuners Cat back exhaust Cold air intake next step Torque converter Shift kit Thermostat E-fans next step Camshaft Valve springs next step Headers next step Cylinder heads next step more money...

Why not a Zippy tune, or are those for trucks with more mods? How about PCM for less or Nelson's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 If you buy tuning software you can still get a Zippy tune, PCM For Less tune, Nelson tune, etc. The difference is that you can load it into your truck yourself as well as send the tuner back any info they may need on how it's running with the new tuning. The best part is that every time you add mods (especially the bigger mods) there is no sending in your pcm or waiting for one. You simply go to your computer and download an update that you have them send you and load it onto your truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then I order a tune and upload it my self? How difficult is it to use? I'm just starting to catch this modding disease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsource Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Just came back from Moroso with my buddy in his SRT10. I didn't take my truck cause I'm still babying it a little. 600 miles now. My buddy put on some cheater slicks and ran a 13.25. His best run yet. The place was packed, so he was only able to get that one run in. A little dissappointing that there wasn't a single SSS out there. Saw some sick cars. Holy shit! There was a new mustang with a Pro-Charger set up. This thing was sick. The whistle of that thing was so loud, even at idle or low rpm's that you couldn't even hear the exhaust. Guy had it dyno'd earlier today at 766hp. He ran a 10.3. It was crazy! I'll post some video of the SRT10 run soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outsource Posted September 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2006 Here's the video I took last night at Moroso. He ran a 13.25. Sorry about not showing the times, but my digital camera doesn't let me zoom while recording. Hopefully we'll be back on Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 That's a pretty good run for your buddy. It's good to see someone using the truck for what it's built for. It's a pretty cool truck. Now you just need to beat him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkt71 Posted September 24, 2006 Report Share Posted September 24, 2006 If you want to beat one, just look at my mods below and do it. Radix, intake, exhaust, and a decent tune. I can pull past one with no problems, and I even beat my buddies new C6 by 3 cars up to 100 the other night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna start with some of the other basics and then go from there. From what I understand, the installation of the SC will demand many tranny upgrades.
