Getting My SRT VCA back from DLM!

[KenricGTS]

My SRT is scheduled to be picked up Monday late in the day! I can't wait to get her back it almost killed me waiting. The numbers that it ran are as follows 850rwhp and 840rwt. I do not have the dyno sheets with me so my numbers could be off a little. The numbers were ran with 102 air temp and with plan old super unleaded.

 

[DSR207]

Great numbers...Supercharged

 

[Casey]

That's alot of POWER!!

Enjoy!

Welcome to the SC club! It is a different world with that Paxton and other work you had done. DLM did an excellent job on mine.

 

[KenricGTS]

Thanks guys! I can't wait to drive my new power enhanced SRT! I will let you know how it feels when I get it. The closest I have had is my GTS with 652rwhp and 814rwt

 

[VIPER D]

What kind of boost are you running?



vd..

 

[SRTRICKY]

Thats going to be one sick machine

 

[KenricGTS]

Doug told me the max was 13psi or 12.9 to be exact. With a bigger crank pulley 14 to 16 might not be out of the question. The bottom end can handle it.

 

[Gerald]

Sweet. 840RWHP with a S/C.. Nice and easy on the entire car.. You'll love it for miles and miles and miles.. I'm over 40k with over 800RWHP as a daily driver with DLM...Only thing is a belt here and there about every year or so...Enjoy!!! Crap, throw some race gas in there and fudge the numbers like all the other guys do!!

it seems like its going to be awesome

Hey Ken, the car is looking great and I couldn't believe how it pulled before the Dyno(LET ALONE AFTER!!!). With the flick of his keyboard, he gained an additional 200+rwhp out of her. Wait until you see the sheet. The power never let off, it just kept pulling. She has a lot left in her. As far as the PSI, I believe you are off by about 2.9 - 3.0 lbs, I recall it running 10psi on the pulls. However, you know who to contact for verification. Best of luck man, will get out there soon.

 

[C.Thomson]

This sounds awesome! I cannot wait to see it. After our "Test Drive", I just might have to have the same thing done to my slooow 1998 RT/10. WOW.

 

[MaxedGTS]

your going to have a ton of fun. i never get tired of it. Was using my gts as an everyday driver now i'm hooked on both! The power is extremely street worthy and you can get the tires to hold on tight with the hp. I've heard a lot about your car and hoping to get some of the stuff you have

Congrats! Question, what all are you having done besides the supercharger to pull them kind of numbers??

 

[KenricGTS]

Thanks for the comments guys! It has a balanced and blue printed engine, forged rods, forged Ross pistons, comp coupe cam, crower roller rockers, custom fuel system with 20 injectors, fuel rails, custom pulley set up only an 8 rib, and alot of other top secrect stuff Jason thanks for helping out with my car! Chris we will go balls out when it comes in! Oh yea I forgot Greg Goodman Heads pro 4 polished and ported race valves.

 

[98MODMTR]

JaYson thanks for helping out with my car!

No problem. Believe me, the pleasure was all mine!

 

[Fishtail]

Congrats, EXACTLY what I want. Let us know how it runs when you get it
I'm jealous

I have my SRT in my garage! Had to give her a good waxing and wash. Well I can tell you she is an animal! I have to get used to the power. It drives like a stocker when out of BOOST, but when the BOOST hits it will blow the tires away. I need to change the side exhaust it is too loud. I will call Balanger and see what the most quiet side exhaust he has. I have Balanger long tubes and side exit with no cats. What is crazy is that I live a mile high. I can't imagine what this thing feels like at sea level, all I can say is make sure it is pointed straight. I will give you guys an update as I get more miles on the car. I have 700miles on the car now total with maybe 350 with the new power level. Have a good weekend everyone!

 

[Fishtail]

That's an animal all right Did the exhaust you replaced help eliminate the heat??? The heat is the only thing holding me back! I test drove an SRT and was amazed how much heat the stock exhaust produces
-lou

 

[KenricGTS]

The heat does not seem as bad as before with the side exits, but is too loud for cruising! I was thinking maybe to ask if Lou at Balanger can make me a side exit with spin techs and mufflers or cats and mufflers. What do you guys think? I do not mind it being loud when I am on it just not when I am cruising along at like 2K or 3k rpm.

 

[98MODMTR]

Awesome Kenric!!! I am very glad you got it and like it! She is a beast and I must admit, I noticed no interior heat. However, this sense could have easily been masked by the fact I was just so damn impressed on how it did on the dyno and the drive back to DLM. People just kept eating the car up. Driving along side taking pics with their picture phones, lol!!!

 

[SRTRICKY]

Lets see some pictures

You might wish to consider installing some Vortex cones in your exhaust. It reduces noise and drone. Might cost you some HP, but much more relaxed cruising.

 

[KenricGTS]

Thanks Jayson! Paul Vortex cones? Where can I order these from? Any info would be great. Oh I raced my buddy in his 911 turbo X50. I got a horrible start too much spin and then he was right there, but once I hit 2nd then 3rd I put like 10 or more cars on him. I need to get used to the power level and shift points. Right now I kind of **** getting the most out of her. I will learn though!

 

[Art 138]

Kenric: Did you modify the rear Diff gears?? If you installed 3.55s then you might consider the sticky tires or you will spin like Hell in First. Saw you car at DLM for the longest, glad you are enjoying.

 

[Doug Supercharged Vipers]

Kenric,

Enjoy it in good health! Keep in touch and be safe!

Best Regards,
Doug

I can tell you that after a year with my DLM car she still runs great! I get a call from doug every few months checking up on her & seeing how we are doing. How many tuners call you & see if there are any problems a year later?

Dougs customer service is second to none!

Put some pilot sport cups on her & she will hook up great!

I second the vote for Vortex cones.

I have them. Install them just upstream of the mufflers. I didn't lose any horsepower at all.

 

[KenricGTS]

Thanks Doug I am just glad to have it back. After what you told me about the fuel I think it is running a lot less fat! Art the gears are stock 3.07s. I just need to let the tires get some heat in em. I might have to get some sticker tires.

 

[C.Thomson]

If its too loud, your to old to have a car like that. Just give it to me, I wll take real good care of it!

Cant wait for my ride!!
