    First pull was 3rd gear pull, and it put down 182whp. The second pull they decided to do a 2nd gear pull, and it put down 186whp. On the third run they did the pull from second, to the top of 3rd and it put down 190whp, with 198tq.

    Not to bad considering it's the autostick. I'd be curious to see if a 5 speed basically stock would put down the similar numbers to my stock skittle 220whp/240tq. or to the Mrs 190/198. I heard the GTC were de-tuned SRT4s, but I wonder how much of the difference is the engine, or the transmission. :dunno2:

    I'll try to post a copy of the Dyno sheet...if I can remember to scan it when I get home.

    EDIT: Also the skittle the Dyno'd right after me, put down horrible numbers on it's first pull, actually had respectable numbers on the second pull and put down it's best numbers on it's last pull. So I don't know what the deal was with the Dyno, and am not sure how to take the numbers. Since none of my pulls were identical.

    those numbers sound good.
    there are plenty of people on PT forums and PT Crew that put down the same numbers stock. and if i remember you have an intake and magnaflow exhaust.

    and did you check for boost leaks.

    I know of a big one that sits on the intake and connects to some retarded 4 way connection. :dumb:

    H3LL NO!!!


    ^for that reason right there...I don't want her to be fast enough to run away. :love:




    Seriously, I have my eye on a predator for it. When I can drum up the funds...:yes: That it the only mod her Cruiser will see. She doesn't want anything. She says it's fast enough for her, so I guess I'm okay with that.

    Yup, autostick...but the stick part not really much fun, so it's mostly just auto.

    mmmmmm I wonder if they make a nice stall for those ;)

    Intakes are different and from my understanding so is the turbo mani. Those numbers may seem weak, but as you saw from nevin you can get it up there into real number range pretty easy. Not to shabby for a girl car no?

    my wife says hers is not fast enough!!! :love:


    and they went second to third because they were probally trying to get higher boost/numbers out of it since its an auto.

    ours only sees higher boost when up shifting.
    if you start in that gear we seen only stock boost despite the upgrades. in upshifting we would boost 14 in second, 18 in third and 20 in 4th, if we started in any gear we'd only see 14-15 psi.

    the Stick part is the best part of the car. expecially when autocrossing :D

    and the shifts are a lot faster/harder in stick mode.

    Well I'll never know...having fun is what my car is for.


    Mostly the only time I get to drive the Cruiser is when we are all going somewhere as a family. I'll admit the cruise control is nice, and the auto is more pleasent when sitting in traffic...But I'll take my skittle with the real stick anyday.:secret:

    It's a lot better than what she had before...that's for sure.:ilovesrtc:

    Plunk down the $ for the Mopar stage 1 kit, just don't tell her you've done it! It woke mine (the one I sold, dang it!) up!

    Actually I want to go with the Predator, they got +10whp / +20 tq on the neon over my stage 1. I believe the costs to be the same, and I hear the Predator is a lot easier to use, than swapping out the ECUs.

    Oh yeah...Dyno sheet added.

    HEHEHE...:bigwink:

    Eventually...maybe. The Mrs really doesn't care, and doesn't want it to be faster. So I'm not in much of a hurry to mod the thing. The predator is for me, and it is first on my list of things to do.

    I heard those automatics are a bit week when too much tq is put through them.
