    Welcome to the Connection from Chandler AZ

    Where you from? What track did you run at? Do you have any idea what the DA was? Weather, heat, and altitude play a huge roll in E.T.

    Forget the JetChip and get a Diablo.

    How many miles do you have on your Bee? E-Town and Atco usually have the quickest E.T.'s in the country. So your times would be somewhat slow for there. It's not unusual for stock or almost stock SRT8's to run 12's there on good DA days.

    What was your 60' time? This can have a huge effect on your ET also.

    Surprised no one asked yet ... what was your MPH? That's a better way to tell if your having power issues. ET is much more suseptible to variables (in my case bad driving, lol!) but MPH not so much.

    How about the ESP question also. If he's got bad 60's, he could still have good MPH.

    It'll wake up. That mileage is nothing. You're 60 probably needs some work. There's no reason why you couldn't run a 13.2 or better. Check out our vendor isle here as several carry the Predator tuner, CAI's and exhausts. I like the AFE II myself and the BWoody CAI looks promising although would get dirty faster...for catbacks, it's a matter of preference with regards to sound. They all perform relatively close to one another.

    Try to go to the event below at HHP on June 4th and 5th. Even if you don't get a Dyno tune. The members there will be a wealth of knowledge. Talk to Josh about your budget and mods you want. Our cars take a few thousand miles before they start running their best.
