My friend just got an 05 SRT4 ACR, its damn nice, I want it. But anyways, we decided to run.. I had a huge disadvantage.. no LSD, 205 SHITTY OEM tires haha.. he had LSD and BFG 225's of course.. I was sure he was going to pull on me, I was thinkin a car and a half or two.. We launch, he pulls 3/4 or so of a car on me in first gear pretty quick, I have no traction, second gear, no traction but I still pull up a tad on him, third gear I pulled even and maybe a bumper on him, this is a CLOSE ass race, its so weird seeing it b/c you can see the different power curves of the car, we would pull on each other during different parts of each gear clearly.. Shift to 4th and we are back even again, then I pull maybe a 1/4 car on him if that, I barely edged past. We let off and pull over to talk. I was so excited haha I had no idea I would have done that, for some reason he felt the same way, he thought I would have smashed him hahaha..

Can't believe I edged over this car, condisering I am running 5 psi with NO intercooler, and to top that I am still untuned running stupid rich(very visible blackish/grey exhaust at full throttle/shifts) and very conservitive timing..

So I must be puttin down some wicked numbers for just 5 psi, it has to be well into the 220-230+ whp range, which is pretty much unheard of at that low boost level, since we both weigh about the same(damn heavy ass lude). Finally ordered a wideband, zeitronix zt2, so maybe I will get a little more power out of her and turn it up to 7-8 psi..

All in all, I guess it was a pretty much dead even race, but I DID make up ground, which is hard as shit to do, and I edged out a tad in the end

Damm Homie dont hurt them too bad Need to get back up there and trade wips for a min
