My Paxton Viper runs a 12.1 at 121 a mile high. What will a gen 4 run?

What Kind of HP is your Paxton putting down? At sea level, Mopar PCM, headers, exhaust, filter, the Gen IV cars are very close to 600 at the rear wheels.

In the quarter mile my supercharged car is only one tenth of a second quicker than my 2008 w/headers,exhaust,3:55 gears and Mopar controller. The Gen IV cars are the sh*t. Pardon my French.

With 704 RWHP - you're only running 12's? I don't get it - you'd be running 13's on a stock Gen IV if you're only running 12's with 700+ RWHP.
Jamie Furman ran a 10.92 on a bone stock (factory tires) 08 Vert...and that's only 600 Crank HP...

MKB69Viper's signature is "2008 SRT10 Vert - 10.86 @ 128.29mph " but he obviously sold it and I think it wasnt an ACR

Shew I don't feel that bad now lol. Best I've got out of mine with k&n filters, run craps, headers and exhaust is 12.2. I have a couple buddies with new ACR's and they say no comparison to there 06's lol. Sorry but only numbers one has is 1/4 and one went 11.5 or 3 I can't remember.

I honestly dont know how you can handle these things with Twins , my stock (only corsa Catback) 09 ACR goes sideways at 4k + rpms in 1st and second gears on most surfaces !!

Furman holds almost EVERY possible record there is for stock american production cars in the quarter mile and probably is the BEST drag racer in the country running stock tires.
The difference being Jamie (Furman )ran 10.9 in a totally stock 08 Viper(stock tires ect ) the 10.8 was run with bolt ons, slicks and nitrous .

I was like, damn I run 10s with that hp levels in my Paxton Viper, I started to think you just couldnt drive.
Wow, never going to live in a place that kills a cars power like that... DAMN!

Not sure about elevation but here in Kansas, N/A cars seem to run pretty strong. My Viper has belangers and full exhaust. I haven't taken it to the track but I have ran against a Z06 that runs 11.1@ 132mph and we were dead even...belangers make a world of a difference (if you can tolerate the sound...LOL).
I would think the ACR with headers, air intake and MP controller would out run the SC car at altitude.

My nephew with a bone stock 09 Z06 who lives in Albuequerque just ran an 11.9....so he told me. I guess he's a lying sack of poop.????
2002 ACR it is all good cause all of us here are down on power compared to sea level. i remember a VCA member moved up here and he thought something was wrong with his Viper. He said he felt like his car was down two cilinders. I said welcome to the mountains!

The computer,exhaust and headers are good. The gear change is for personal prefference. No real gains from the 3:55's but more fun to drive.
From a roll in second gear the supercharged car still feels faster. From a dead stop on the street the Gen IV is probably quicker. Due to better traction.

That is the same impression I came away with...I had 650 RWHP in my 04 and I just miss that surge of the SC car....
Charged engines generally do better at high altitude than NA. A primary reason turbocharged engines are found in higher numbers in mountainous regions.
1Bad you are at it again. Read. Then read again for comprehension. He is only interested in what it will do at high altitudes (his reference was MILE HIGH). What other cars do at sea level is irrelevant.
