Ok keep in mind that im used to driving a srt-4 up their all the time, my rpm meter doesnt work... and that my car stalls when i turn the wheel... i ran codes it said egr but i dont know here are my times. I only ran once because i was so mad whats done to my car is listed below i know i had mad driver error. But let me know about my numbers what all needs improved..

r/t...0.42
60...2.368
330...6.626
1/8...10.113
mph...70.83
1000...13.103
1/4...15.607

Now my first and second are sooo short i had no clue when i was shifting i was going by the sound of the motor on these cars i wanna shift around 58 or 5300? correct?

Dunno, when my car was stock I think it ran a best of 15.2 @ 92 at high altitude. You might want to invest in a tach and yes you should be shifting around 5200. But before figuring out how to go faster, you really need to take care of all mechanical and electronic issues.

a good shift light is what you need i have one that can be set without a tach...its a pro-form #67005C i have one installed in my stang its auesome i set it at 5200 rpm's and when i reach 5200 rpm's the light illuminates and tells me when to shift so i can keep my eyes on the track and not on the tach....i have an extra one p.m me if your interested....

If that was my car I'd shift it at 5400-5500rpms. I don't think it'd like anything higher than that, but it may run better with a lower shift point than I listed. With similar mods I was shifting at 5500.


The weather sucks right now for racing, and the temps alone can be costing you 2-3MPH easily. Try running the car as cold as possible, and play with the shift points. With your mods you should be able to get that 60' into the 2.1 range with a little practice and that alone will drop approx 4 tenths off of your times.

Are you sure its not running pig rich with those injectors?
