I have personally raced 2 at the track in 88-89 degree very humid weather and the best I saw either of them run was a 15.8 and one had CAI and exhaust. Ive also seen my buddy race one a couple of times and he couldnt break a 16 with traction. I have no doubt in cool weather they can run a 15.3 maybe but The ones Ive saw/raced this summer sure wont. These were reg cabs. Oh and if you want to see videos I have! ----I also have a SRT-10 running a 15.7 & 16.5 but thats a different story!

The 05' Hemi QC is said to run a 16.00 in the 1.4 mile(this was on a couple of sites) and you figure that was in the perfect conditions) so factor in the weight and we will say a reg cab hemi will run a 15.5 or hell say a 15.3(in perfect conditions-cool weather) and then factor in 80% humidity and high 80 low 90 degree temps--Yeah if he could run a 15.8 this summer he can ahng with the Homos

Your location is listed a Stockton.? You go to the track in Sac? There are afew otheres from Nor Cal here, we sould get together for a night at the track. Just thinking out loud.

Maybe so. I can only comment on the real races ive had on the streets. I havent run my truck latley but I think im in the low 15s.

I RAPED the quadcab and have just barley beat the shortcab. I really think you need atleast a 15.5 to even keep up. Dont get me wrong I hate HEMI's, just telling you my experience with them

You can get a voltometer and check to make sure your TB is opening 100% (mine wasnt - im sure very mininal results if any)

Im sure there are more but its still early for me...

The free mods arnt going to do much but they MIGHT free up a little power.
The only one I think you will notice would be the MAF descreen, just if your going to do it make sure you take out the screen carefully so you can put it back. I wish I did that because I want mine back in.

Lemmie know if you wanna trade MAFs, ill pay shipping
