Well after being down for 7 weeks (total) with Tranny Trauma, I finally got to make some passes in Devon Alberta at Castrol Raceway. 3000 foot D.A.

Anyway...

Tailgate In, 1/2 tank WITH MY WIFE DRIVING BECAUSE I COULDN'T CUT A DECENT LIGHT TO SAVE MY LIFE... the SILVER QC ran as follows...

5610 total race weight
60' 1.826 (1200 r.p.m. launch)
330 feet- 5.176
1/8- 8.012
MPH- 86.43
1000 foot- 10.463
1/4- 12.534
M.P.H.- 108.66

I was pretty happy with that and we made 19.2 M.P.G. on the way home (pen and paper calculation).

I will post some videos later today after work if I get my camera back.

VERY impressive, do you think the Strikers are responsible for your big horsepower numbers?

Thanks it was a fun time. There were A LOT of people millling around looking for nitrous, a supercharger, headers, a cold air kit....SOMETHING!

We were pretty happy with that performance.

I am still chasing demons on the top end. I think it may be a fuel supply issue. I will have to pressure gauge it during a run. Thats what it feels like anyway...

I will post the timeslip and video when I get back home today.

The truck ran a 15.1 when new in Calgary at 5400 feet (D.A.). It then ran a 13.8 at 100 with a Stage 2 and catback on a 1/2 decent track and 14.2 in Calgary with the same equipment. Dynojet numbers were 423 at that time which is where a stock Viper car is with a manual transmission so, so far so good. I am thinking we take a 30-40 horsepower hit through the auto...maybe... high ??...???

The Strikers went on with a custom grind billet roller (Truck/torque grind).
The r.w.h.p. numbers went up to 566 at that point.

So, in answer to your ?? The Strikers..... without a doubt.
I haven't even put headers on the thing yet. And the manifold is still mismatched.

dont you need headers for the type of set up you have so it can breathe better?

Annu,

Honestly, it doesn't seem like the engine needs them, not even with the Strikers. My butt dyno seems to work fine and it says all is well in that department. I DO have a laydown happening near the end of the 1/4 but it is NOT exhaust related. It comes and goes and feels like a fuel issue...
My dyno pulls have a torque trace and horsepower curve that do NOT look like the engine has a breathing restriction. I.O.W. high torque ALONG WITH High Horsepower. If it couldn't breathe (for whatever the reason), torque numbers are often disproportionate (higher) to the horsepower. (General Statement).

The equipment I am using is in my sig below and as you can see I am running a B&B system with Hi-Flow cats.
Would headers help? Probably, unless the primaries were too big for the application; but are they worth the $2195 CDN? Not to me...
A 12 flat or better at sea level with the current setup (no headers) is quite likely.
