Ralph runs a 10.8 @ 133mph with exhaust/tune

[Jack B]

It has just started.

I think it's great that Ralph ran a 10.8. I also agree with Nineballs statement that the trap speed really shows what these car's can do with basic bolt on's.

I bet Andy gets his in the 10's also. Badass times.

LOL at Andy and the multiple mentions of cats. You a crazy cat lady? Haha. High flow dual 3" cats were only worth 6 rwhp on my Z06, which was at 619 rwhp. Not really a big deal at this power level. They start to become restrictions well above 700 rwhp, when they begin to melt.

Lol you quoting a cat dyno from a Corvette. I'm speaking from experience on these cars. 15 to the tire is what I saw with and without, on a gen 3 and gen 4. Does it make much of a difference, not really but you add up all of the little "differences" on a build in the end and yes it's worth something.

That Voodoo was bad asp too. Does he still have it?

No. It lives in Texas now.

I agree. Spring is here, and more people with Gen V's will be hitting the drag strips. Gonna be a slew of fast times.

Be nice to see a privately owned car run the same Mph Raplhs car seemed to dyno a lot higher then other gen 5's. either way great stuff happening

Because they have been developing the ECU on his car, which we are about to have access to.

Someone should throw some ACR-X headers on a Gen V and and let r buck!

I am just need the ECU.

[ACRucrazy]

If all these Belangers that are on all these Vs without issue why wouldn't some 5 into 1s work?

The ARH's should work just fine. I'll just need to fab something to get from the turnout to the catback.

[Jack B]

BBG went that route and is either close or at the point where they are for sale. He was a little behind Belanger, therefore, the reason so many have been installed.

Yea I get the feeling your ACR-X headers would work just great on your new TA.

It is hilarious, we are debating (my car is better than your car) hp differences of less then 10 hp from different dynos.

None of that sh.t matters. It is all about 1/4 mile mph at a given DA. Anyone can manipulate dyno numbers by 5 % merely with smoothing and correction factors.

Lastly, I believe the Gen4 133 mph was with a DA of -2500.

Which 133Mph gen 4 pass are you talking about?

Like I said be nice to see a private car run the same numbers

[Jack B]

It was an east coast dragstrip. It is where all the records are set late in the year, I believe MIR.

What mods Jack?

[Jack B]

I do not know, however, with the DA at -2500, you do not need a lot of mods. I am sure it was at MIR.

What mods Jack?

[Jack B]

If we know which strip we can find the DA?

He only cut a 1.80 60' so with drag radials and a 1.6 60' your looking at a mid 10 second car with headers, ECU, still running cats as well. That's getting it done.

Also I did see that it was 44 degrees out there today so the DA was better than I thought.

[Jack B]

What was your 60 and the DA in the 10.8 run. No matter matter what they were, good run.

What mods Jack?

Jack Ralph was in michigan I would assume a Detroit area track.

BBG went that route and is either close or at the point where they are for sale. He was a little behind Belanger, therefore, the reason so many have been installed.

My new BBG headers are actually cross-compatible with the Gen 5 and have an additional O2 bung in a primary on each side to function properly with the Gen 5 cars. I'm sure Toddy could have a set for any Gen 5 owner wanting to go with BBG and looking for a modular design and 1 7/8" primaries.

Andy, was your gen 4 cat gain from removing factory cats, or high flow aftermarket cats? Ralph likely has Belanger high-flows.

Good point Tony I thought about that last night after my last post to you. My Gen 3 gains were from high flow to no cats. My Gen IV gain was from factory cats to no cats the the gain from a high flow to nothing would as mentioned probably only be in the 5-10 rwhp amount.

I still think it's worth looking at though, many of the gen IV's with full balengers with cats were making 575-585 rwhp, while similar cars with no cats were making 590-600, mine made 602. I just thought it was cool to see Ralph make 598 even with high flow cats on the car through 3.55's because it does point out a nice bump in HP even if it's small in the grand scheme of things.

Ralph has retro fitted ARH and HF cats on his car, that's what they had at the time. The relationship they had with Lou is still pretty bruised so I doubt you will see them on any of the SRT guys cars.

Thanks Mark do you know if he left the factory catback on then?
