HemiRamOn20s Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 At my track if you put a zero with a slash through it on your car or truck the times will not light up when you run,also when you race for cash at midnight madness at cordova raceway in the quad cities they won't show times just for the sake of people betting.I always used to run for sh*ts and giggles,then every guy with a coffee can wanted to run.To be honest with you it got to be a waste of time running against junk.If you you say" show me the green and we'll run" it gets to be a lot more interesting,and the jokers go away!I know, I'm being a smart ass Yea when you regester at the track while waiting in line you tell them to put a "NT" on your car or truck and they wont show your times on the board but they print your slip. no nitrous on my truck now or ever. and yea the R/T's are sick there is a few 408 stroker daks in the 11s and 10s that are built by KRC performance. they have a 10 second jeep srt-8 too.

allballz57 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Alright,now for a question. What are the hemi guys using for tuning? My dad has a rumble(humble) bee and wants to play with it but has no idea what the hemi guys are using for tuning.I would like to get him started in the right direction. he is planning headers and exhaust and already has a C.A.I,other than the superchips what else is there?

allballz57 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks for the info.He has an 05 rumble bee,second swarm.he does want to do a cam/heads eventually but the superchips might be the way to go for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006LS2TB Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 Yeah SCT was just released about two weeks ago and I should be receiving mine somtime next week. I'm curious to see what my truck can do with a good tune. That's somethign I think alot of the chevy and ford guys don't realize.. Since about two weeks ago we didn't have squat for tuning besides superchips, and yall know how much of a difference there is between a superchips canned tune and a real tune for yalls trucks. I'm hoping I can get down in the 12.6 range now, but who knows if it'll happen.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowsniper3006 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 (edited) well that was some good reading....whats up hemiram been a while since we crossed paths. As for the dodge guys, i spend a lot of time on dodgetalk and there are some fast rams out there. It seems the reg cab 2 wheel drive trucks are starting to hit 12's NA but there are only a few of them. The SS's are more often hot rodded so there are more of us right now closing in on 12 na with stock cubes. The rams are the 1st to hit 12's na with stock cubes i think, but trying to get our SS down to their race weight would be imposible. Now start talking about the modded reg cab chevy's....and things are little different. Those trucks get fast....well fast. As for my truck, I ran that pass with no spare tire and no tailgate. I scaled my truck at route 66 raceway at 5400 with me in it and no tail gate. That puts the truck around 5200 in pretty much street trim. I can drop a bunch of weight yet if i take the rear seat out and put a roll pan on and a glass or carbon hood or......but i don't need to right now because there is so much more potential in my motor. I'm still on stock intake, stock throttle body, lower compression, stock rod bolts, and a low stall converter and a few other things i can improve on. Not to mention zippy hasn't tuned my truck for the long tube headers yet, so maybe he can pull another tenth in just tuning. So, hemiram, i guess come end of this racing season....well see who truck is faster. And not to sound like a dick, because your one of the cool ram guys, but your at 13.7 now and i'm at 13.35 now so you got a butt load of catchng up to do before you can say your faster then me. And i'm still planning on a 12 sec pass this year as long as i don't blow the motor or get into some money trouble that would stop me from spending another dollar on my truck. but this is what makes hot roding so fun, so bring it on!

allballz57 Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 i dont think so my friend. . . . I am assuming that 12's rock means your somewhere in the twelve's and must still have a stock block. I was hoping I would get a little support here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006LS2TB Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 is that similar to EFI Live and HPT but for the Dodges? BTW your Hemi is pretty fast bro Thanks Yeah, the SCT is basically the same thing that HPTuners is for GM's. As of right now they have full ECM control, but they'er still working on TCM control. So I'm not expecting much improvement right now. But once we can control converter lockup and torque management, and line pressure I think it should be night and day difference. I'm trying not to get too excited so I wont be disapointed if its not quite as good as I was hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know those rams can be fast even with out good tuning software. I'm on the dodge forum a lot, but only post if there is a chevy question or a very wrong statement made. I don't want to wear out my welcome over there. Make sure to check in here when you get some times this spring/summer! Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
