No.... I would call WHEELSPIN! I have a friend with an SRT-4 with stage 1 but with stock exhaust put back on.. She is running 18-20 psi... I road in the car and 1st and 2nd gear are WORTHLESS. Hell we even feathered it and still 2nd gear from a roll mid rpm range was total wheel spin. I would say from a 40-50 roll that is their sweetspot... They are fast cars up top though.. Her best time with FULL stage1 at 20psi was a 14.1@105mph in the quarter... We plan on getting a friendly little race on soon and I will post about it. Just wanna see what my car can do next to it.

Well she has the race motor mounts but doesnt have the torque damper yet. I rode in the car and it spun like a mother! keep in mind she is NOT stock.. She has prolly 240whp and like 280lbs/tq

True even a stock srt-4 has wheel hop in first with stock boost. The engine mounts and torgue dampner are huge mods. If you were going to go from a 45 roll it would put a new perspective on things. The cars make massive torque down low which is why the have horrible wheel hop. Good run either way

I hope I do well against the srt's we will see... Too bad I dont have the money for a VAFC and tune right now. Anybody know about what kinda power im putting down with my mods? I know every car is different but maybe a ballpark... I understand that my00 and my01 put down about 190 stock.. The butt dyno shows a good increase with my mods.
