    This video was taken awhile back.
    My CSRT was running 16PSI falling to 12@ redline at that time.
    My Mods:
    Realtune STG1
    E.D. Stainless Turboback
    E.D. CAI
    E.D. BOV Adapter Pipe w/ TiAL BOV
    B-Woody Traction Bars
    I was still on the stock 19" rims with the crappy 225/45 Goodyear RS-A's. That wheel/tire set-up would pull me all over the road with TQ Steer.
    Watch the lane markers on the 1st video and you'll see what I mean.
    The delay on the 1st run was the low RPM I was at, DBW on the CSRT doesn't give full throttle until 4500RPM.

    The Jeep has: (I can update the full mod list later)
    Mopar Intake
    Full Mopar Exhaust
    Diablo Sport Tune
    Hotter Cam

    Enjoy the show!!

    2nd gear. I was around 2500 RPM and just bog for about the 1st 2 seconds. If I do it again, I will either brake boost or start from 1st.

    LOL sounds stupid but my car almost smacked that inside curb twice. Don't knock it until you've experienced it. I'm not killing myself or hurting anyone else to prove a point. I got around the Jeep, thats all I needed to do. He wasn't going to catch me at that point.
    The 255's on 18's don't TQ steer like those 225's so I shouldn't have that issue anymore.
    LOL now come on, AWD vs. FWD. I spun on the 35 pull, how bad do you think it would have been from a dig?? Of course the Jeep would have owned me out of the hole! I mean look at the 20 pull! Now if we were going up to 150MPH, I guarantee I would come around him at some point...it would just take me quite sometime.:bigwink:
    That Jeep is fast! I give David major props on his ride!

    Come on out to the Fall Cookout! I'll be there as long as I'm not laid up from back surgery.

    Thanks Wade, I wish we had the AWD option though! Those Jeeps are hella quick outta the hole and sound bad ass with a full exhaust!

    I've been real impressed with what Aaron and Real Tune have been doing and have to admit I did talk crap about how emabarrassing the CSRT4 was at the track back in May there were 2 there running 15's, but I guess those days are over. My exact words to the group from DFWLX club was "Those Calibers do not deserve to have the SRT badge on them, they are totally embarrassing the SRT name" I kid you not I was severely disappointed in the stock performance but I had no idea what a tune could do to those

    It's amazingly hard to launch these cars out of the box. The lack of a LSD and computer nannies really hamper these cars in stock form. It makes the car even harder for a rookie to get a quality 1/4 time out of.

    Yes I DEFIED the physics of POWER and WEIGHT!!!! My car isn't just a Caliber.....it's SSSUUUUPPPPEEEERRRR Caliber!!!!!

    Nice. The Jeep is the redheaded stepchild of the SRT aftermarket. IMO.

    LOL trust me. You don't. I also came from a NSRT and the TQ steer on the CSRT is flat out retarded on the stock 19's with the 225 Goodyears.

    I'm not exaggerating. It's dangerous.

    first time i saw that vid i was like ok lets see how bad we get owned. i was really surprised how fast you caught him.

    as for the 15 sec e.t's they just couldnt drive. i got 14.0 stock and 13.8 with tbe. nothing to write home about but about on par with my old nsrt.

    the jeeps just look so damn good though. nice placement on the srt badge wade.

    You had an 03 with no LSD?? Cause the lack of LSD makes the torque steer a little more prominent.....


    And this isn't my first high HP FWD......
