Hello folks and what a great site! I've been lurking for a couple weeks and decided to register and join. I've recently taken ownership of an 05 QC SRT-10 in black. So much I want to do but not sure I can afford to cater to my desires. For now it's stock, but I look forward to receiving suggestions and expert advice on a few modifications (cat-back exhaust and a good tune). But hello for now, I look forward to participating!
Greetings from CO

Thanks for the nice welcome folks! There's no doubt these trucks are the best looking trucks on the road but I'm a little disappointed in the performance. Yes it's heavy, but for 500 advertised horsepower it doesn't feel that much faster than my 06 qc with a hemi. I don't have very deep pockets. I'm thinking an SCT tuner with a good cat back to start. What ya'll think?

what did the hemi have in 06, 345-360 hp?? you should be able to feel 150 hp pretty easy, plus your hemi MIGHT have had 3.72 rear at best so this truck has more HP and better gears sooooooooo, maybe YOU weigh more now……… :dontknow:
The torque management is killing you (as well as elevation, lol). Get a tuner first. You won't regret it.
Well I'll confess the hemi has some mods (cam, heads, headers, diablo tune, and a stall converter) with 3.92's and smaller tires (33" down to 31") It gets out of it's own way good enough. And no doubt once the V-10 "gets going" It'll all be over. But I was expecting a lot of "traction problems" with the viper motor and it's really not at all like that. Not that I want to be spending a lot of money on tires. But it'd be nice to have that capability!
Thanks, Ever have any get togethers? If they're not too far away, it would be nice to meet others!

like caveman said, the computer torque management is whats hurting you in that regard, tuner will take that out and then you'll be closer to what a RC experiences, wheel spin in 1st 2nd and 3rd, from a stock motor
Sounds like I need to budget for cal-tracs too!
