how would u spend your first $1500

[coloradokid]

i am new to the srt10s. i have a stock 05 QC

i am just wondering if guys could get me started and let me know where u would spend your FIRST $1500 on mods for this bad boy.

and also a little bit of feedback on how far i can go on an auto tranny. heard that can be a limitation....

goal is too run into the 13s at attitude (colorado) i have heard i run around 14.5 stock so basically how much is needed to cut .5-.7 off the 1/4.

thx sean

$1500 is a drop in the mod bag. I would suggest getting the 170 T stat and SCT tuner first followed by the Magnaflow catback system, and ending with a K&N CAI.

BTW Welcome to the ZOO.

Welcome:rock: I agree with Brad. You should be able to get rid of thoes cats as well and still be within your budget...

 

[Venom Power]

Welcome aboard. I would think you'll be spending your first $1,500.00 on fuel with today's gas prices.:dontknow: But all joking aside, your best bet is to get done what was mentioned before. Good luck on your 13 second time plan. I believe you will achieve that for sure.

Welcome to the RBC! Brad has hit the nail on the head (plus either cat deletes or hi-flows).

What color did you get?

 

[Venom Power]

I forgot, pictures are in order bro. I'm sure more will ask.

1) Catless mid-pipes
2) Catback exhaust or replace mufflers
3) K&N drop-in filter (some contreversy whether a CAI improves HP or not - they look cool though!)
4) PCM flash of some sort

BTW, welcome! arty:

And as others have said, we love pics here!

CAI-------It looks cool!!!! :dito:

 

[eddie102870]

i started out with the dc stage 2 headers and deleted my cats. unless your going with a supercharger or turbo later thats the way to go or you could get a kick ass nitrous system and cal tracs.

Absolutely, positively, the very first things to do to get the most bang for the buck.:rock: :rock: :rock:

Glad you made it over here Sean. These guys know there stuff. It is how I got all my knowledge. Last year my best was 14.1 with good air for us. My mods at the time was DC stage II flash and drag radials. I can't wait to make it to the track again to find out what my winter mods will get me. During the winter I have added a CAI, deleted my cats and will have headers on soon. I am hoping I can get a 13.8:burnout: :rock:

Also last year I raced with one our Colorado members "Get Bit" and he was running 14.1 to my 14.3. He had a drop in K&N, Magnaflow catback, and a flash.

If I were you and I had $1,500 I would get those POS HP restricting exhaust manifolds off and slap some Long tube headers on. First things first. You need to let this beast breathe. After that I would go cat back with highflow cats. Then worry about getting the tune.

 

[Ironhead]

for your first 1500 bucks send me a money order ,,,then save up for your mods later ,,,just my opion lol:elefant:

 

[ntw0rk]

On a QC the tune is the first thing to fix, IMO.

Roz nailed it I think....

Welcome to the RBC!

[Ram From Hell]

Booze and Hookers.

Enough of the above, and it won't matter what mods you choose. Much less what you're driving.

 

[coloradokid]

lol i like the hookers thing. i think thats the best advise.

hey thx for the welcome guys and thx for sending me here chuck (wyoramsrt-10)

looks like i can learn alot of good shit over here. maybe even how to get laid.:rock:

 

[coloradokid]

so i got to ask the question.

dc vs sct tuner.......

i asked wyoram what he thought. i would like a few opinions over here. i dont want to turn this into a post on just that subject so short response is fine. but cost vs. performance.

or as a few of u said best bang for the buck.

with the idea in mind i dont think i will ever do turbo or charger. i want to try to keep this truck simple so it will last.

 

[Ironhead]

sct you can check codes and erase them and if you have to run back to dealership you can go back to stock in 10 mins

 

[coloradokid]

brad said t stat and roz didnt. whats the scoop on it and is it nessesary. and i am hear different tstats in different posts. like 170s and 175s. what should i be going with for the ideas u guys are bouncing off to me.

i am gettin the idea that cat delete should be there and a tuner and air intake.

is a cat delete a good idea without doing anything else to the exuast or do i need to do more at a time there.

and what should i expect to pay on each of these things so i have an idea what will cost what.
