    How come all these super fast srt4s never have time slips? I remember lucille and kevin, all the other srts that run at the track either have a few boltons or are making more excuses than passes

    Still on a returnless fuel system?
    With a proper tune I could see very low 400's with race gas on 30 psi. No way in hell a S3 turbo could produce that much power unless it was running nitrous. You should take it to another dyno shop.

    s3 owner checking in. :bye:

    Now get some 1/4 mile times. Curious on what it traps.

    and a few witnesses as well...


    As for taking it to another Dyno Shop... no need. Chris Groves at the Dyno's Edge is one of the TOP tuners (for Fords) in the country. The dyno machine itself is maintained and calibrated on a regular schedule.

    Mario and Primobro have put "Countless" hours into this Skittle, and it runs like a raped ape!

    Funny how we all don't believe that one or two cars can be monsters. It is the same on any car forum, so I am not criticizing or jumping on any of the doubters. Hell, I was/am a doubter a few times as well...

    On 30 psi 467/553 kill mode?
    Must be on street tires.
    I trap 114 on street tires at 330whp.

    That makes me proud to be a S3 owner though with those numbers you are pushing. Holy hell!

    You post on srtforums yet? I bet it will turn into a 10 page thread. You should title it S3 > 50 trim. :D

    I totally believe they are corrected numbers

    already been established that the numbers are corrected. All a corrected number is, is an adjustment to what it would be if at sea level...

    Dyno's are for tuning purposes ONLY, anyway. Mario has run his red sled at the track numerous times. Stock, mild, and now with S3 upgrades.

    What's the problem????

    It's a correction for what an N/A car would do at sea-level. I would place a money bet that his actual here and actual at sea-level would be within 5% of eachother. When these guys say that 400whp "should" be the most he makes, and the car makes 467 corrected, both sides are right, the car makes 400whp, but when you apply the n/a correction factor it dynos 467whp. It's just you can't compare corrected numbers on a turbo car to sea-level numbers or other corrected numbers except on a similar correction factor.


    Ever since people were thinking how there must be something in the water in Albuquerque because we mysteriously had all these 500+hp cars on turbos that could only support mid to low 400's I laughed. There is a lot of gullible people on SRT Forums who don't understand that all of those dyno sheets have an extra 20% added to the horsepower numbers.

    It really doesn't bother much when people don't believe what primo and I achieved with my s3 cause everyone here in the 505 knows primo and I built one hell of a s3. Shoot it took us a year and a half to fabricate that dam stage 3 and all the wrench time we put in that s3 set up was well worth it. I am a streetracer and i love every minute of it. I run my car everyday on KILL MODE 30psi and have had some pretty good success on the street and at the track. I ran low 12's all day last year and trapped between 119 and 122 on 24psi, I say thats pretty good for that baby turbo. Don't you??????? I haven't run the car at the track this year on 30psi yet but she loves the street...LOL
    Anyway just want to say thanks to everyone who helped make her who and what she is today. And to the doubters keep doubting its cool with me. And to alll my srt brothers and sisters here on the connection MAD LUV and thanks for keeping it real. PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I don't think they are necessarily doubting you, they just aren't understanding what the dyno says. you guys are both right. You should get some actual numbers though, that way you can have an idea of what the car makes, would make more sense to sea-level people.

    Btw, I talked to him and it was actually 406 actual, probably with that actual would see 420-430 at sea level, still not bad one bit

    Remember horsepower is a relative calculated figure measuring total work. Different dyno's will give different numbers. I had very high stock dyno numbers from my CSRT-4 on one dynojet (287WHP), drove to Michigan and lost 20WHP. The correction factor, temperature and air pressure will make a huge difference. This is why I consider the dyno to be comparative tool used to measure progress not a vehicle's baseline capabilities. Something tells me if I go to your dyno and run a baseline of my Stock S3 SRT-4 (I have only the bolt-ons Mopar suggested in the instruction sheet) it will probably show 330-340whp on pump gas instead of the usual 305-310whp. However if I add a cutout it should show a relative 5-10 hp gain regardless of the dyno I use as long as it is the same type using the same correction factor.


    However I could be just rambling :pizza:
