Predator Evaluations: Performance Data

[srt8forever]

how did you get 0-60 times on your info screen?

I also have 07 300srt8 but, mine doesn't have 0-60 time on info screen.

Can you advise me how I get to that?

Thanks

So my buddy and I went down to Island Dragway in Great Meadows, NJ today for what we thought was going to be just a regular test and tune day. We were wrong. They were running an event with tons of race cars. I got only two runs.

After icing the car down for a good 2+ hours in the staging lanes and getting restless, I decided to hook up the Predator. I went through all the settings just out of sheer boredom and then thought to myself, "what the hell," and advanced the timing in the mid range and top end by 1.5 degrees. I figured since it was a cool day (low 60's with not much humidity) and I was icing the thing down good, an extra 1 1/2 degrees over what the timing is in the performance CAI tune might be good for a couple more horsepower.

By the time it was our turn to run, my engine's water temperature was under 100 degrees. As I approached the tree, it crept up to 150. I thought this was going to be my only pass, so I just left off idle and eased into the throttle off the line for fear of boiling the 245 all seasons. The 0-60 time on this pass according to the EVIC was a 4.16. When I got the slip it was a 12.623 @ 111.25. I was pretty happy.

For the second run, I put the ice back on the intake manifold but I only had about 10 minutes to cool it down. By the time I was at the line, the water temps were in the 175-185 range. This time I came out just a little bit harder and this resulted in a 4.14 0-60 on the EVIC. I thought this would probably be another 12.6x, but surprise surprise, it was a 12.562 @ 113.47! I read on one of these forums that if your engine's water temp is TOO low, you'll lose power. I forget who said that, but from the looks of it, they were definitely right.

After I ran the 12.56, a bunch of guys came over to me asking if I had a supercharger. Haha. I told them it was stock. And this one dude was saying there's no way, that I must have at least a computer chip?!? I was like WTF?!? So I confessed that all I had was a measly tune and I showed him the Predator. Sorry guys, but I'm a bit old skool and in my book this car is still stock. It turns out that all those guys were friends with a dude who had a supercharged Mach 1 and I had just beaten him by 4 thousandths of a second. That's probably why they thought I had a supercharger. Haha. He ran 12.566 @ 115.09 to my 12.562 @ 113.47.

So... how many of you still don't think I'll run at least an 11.999 after I put in the Airhammer CAI, JBA 3" exhaust, high flow cats, 17's with 275/40/17 BFG Drag Radials (effectively having 3.42 gears), 2800 converter, and a little street tuning for ~100 octane? At this point, I don't think it's gonna be tough at all. ****, I think JUST the drag radials will get me a 12.3!

Around 400 bones each give or take, Get ahold of Hammer motorsports for the AH, and jump in the vendor section for a Diablo deal.
Good luck

Well I headed out to National Trails raceway this weekend to see what I could run, Only mods are CAI and Diablo. I got several runs in with and without the 93 CAI tune. So all in all the best run was 13.1 @106 with a 2.0 60' air was bad it was around 80 degrees that afternoon. I was really hoping for some cooler air but no luck. First run was with out the Diablo tune I ran 13.4 with a 2.0 60' installed the tune and ran 13.3 then my 13.1 with about a half hour cool down. Now before I exclaim that the Diablo was what helped my times.. my last run with the tune was a 13.4 again but ......I was trying to launch much more agressively and got a 2.1 60' so all in all the tune seemed to work! Every run was with TC turned off completely.
Im sure I have 12.9's in this car with better air and a 1.9 60' so Im very happy!!!! The best part was that everyone was all over my car no one there had ever seen a 300SRT8 run! I had people running up to me saying they coudlnt believe i ran a 13.1 with that car....cracked me up. and it seemed like it was my day for winning since every car I ran lost to my SRT8.. three fox mustangs and 1 04 GTO Woo HOO!!

Just got mine....installed basic tune and change some paramiters.I have cai headers ect but Im still on a tank of the cheap gas...will change tune after I fill back up.This thing is worth it just to turn of the mds and firm up the shifts....but it does so much more....wish the rain would go away so I could play harder if you know what I mean
