Lol it’s the way it was worded ... it’s worded that trumps was bigger.. unless I read it wrong but I think he just had a typo ha
Yes I was using an analogy lol that the day trump admits that Obama innaguration was bigger is the day a stinger would beat a hell car
 
Mid-west problems....

So glad I moved out of the mid-west, TWICE.

HAHAHA. My First car was a 03 Crown Vic Interceptor RWD. I got into an accident in the first winter with it. The cops that did the police report where kind enough to school my one the art of RWD w/ Sandbags. I keep 100-150 LBS in the Trunk 50-100 on the passenger floor. Not the most appealing but it helps. Then again we have had ZERO snow this winter so im driving around with all this weight for no reason.

all times except the 11.98 were pre dump valves. Not sure why you having trouble wrapping your head around it. Wait until you see the next one ;)
Because a 12.11 with just a jb4 on map2 seems insane? I’d think a lot of people would be in the 11s if that were the case!
 
I mean I’m not hating, just seems out of the norm by a lot as opposed to what we have seen in these cars right? If I’m wrong lemme know!

I agree 100 percent ..... I am telling you man it’s the draggy best mod to date ... adds 175 hp and 250 tq ... and somehow reduces quarter miles by .5 second at a minimum .... lol jk
 
That’s how the RWD deal with snow for sure.

Saw a Hell Charger run a 12.5 in person so even Angel on the right day could take that prize. Don't let that 700 hp fool you!

If he ran a 12.5 that’s a hell kitty ... a hell kitty I could beat lol a hell cat no way Jose .... I seen a hellcat run 10.6 on just slicks at the track

I agree anything can happen I just don’t like comparing cars that are not comparable ... there different beast a hellcat is a 1/4 monster .... by no means I am not a hellcat fan ... just the truth .

jb4 product keeps getting better, less restrictive exhaust and it's nice and cold out.
Currently testing map 3 and v7. Its gonna get better. Pulling the spare and gonna run with octane boost and less fuel. Happy to share logs which are time and date stamped, vin stamped and show map. Tonka and Terry as well as a few others have already seen em. Not sure what else to say. Pretty sure my dragy pulls off the same satellite.

I mean that's great to hear honestly. I knew v7 FELT way better, but I had no metrics to run off of.

We will see if I get similar results!

But its RWD and can't always get traction even on a prepped track. Kia waiting and ready to pounce on a win.

It takes practice too.. I've had some JB4 customers report high 12s until they set boost by gear properly and figured out how to launch. Then low 12s. So if your times are not where you want them to be just record logs so we can help on the tuning end, and practice practice practice. It's all in the launch!
 
I don't think its the temps as his logs show 65 IAT at ambient 20 and i have my logs showing 55 IAT degrees at 32 degrees ambient (with intake and IC) His boost 15 , My boost 17.4 , same 60 foot and i ran 12.03, .05 slower. Splain that one.
And the log times from 3mph to 116 mph show 13 seconds. Log time not perfect but its something.
JB4 v7 did wonderful things for air fuel ratios. 0.05 seconds is nothing - that could be attributed to the road material causing additional / less friction, or a slight tailwind / headwind. Also, altitude might play a factor.

I agree its ALL about launch!. I tried running the draggy with my 24540R19s winter tires and I'm going nowhere fast. My best 0-60 was 5.02 (with 200 lbs if sand) lmao. I'll try it again tomorrow with out the sand it's too damn cold to get back out there.

Maybe I'm underestimating the amount of wheelspin I will have? The last time I launched on Map 2 I just hooked and went with almost 0 spin.

The boost by gear would help a ton. I didnt get a chance to try it before I sold the JB4, but it should help with wheel spin. I've always had a good amount but with these tires i just slide left then start to slide a but right then itll hook up after what feels like an eternity.

AWD?

My point was where is the speed coming from? 2.4 lbs less boost, 10 degrees higher intake temps, and throttle close on every shift.
