In 8 short hours I will "FINALLY" pickup my VORTECH Supercharged 300 SRT8!

where is Ryan at????

No thoughts on this yet???

 

He was supposed to post ASAP. However, let me give you a likely run down of what happened when he got home (there are variables, so bear with me if I end up being off):

1. Got home. Wife yelled at him for being gone so long.
2. Tried to get the wife to go for a ride -OR-
3. Took the wife for a ride and she told him he was fucking ridiculous for getting the blower.
4. As a result of the above: he either got into an argument with the wife and/or is sulking right now in the garage as it would be his only escape without leaving again (because that'd just piss her off even more)...

So, unless the Mopar and Vortech gods were shining down upon our down-trodden mexican friend this evening at home, you can expect to hear from him tomorrow morning.

Just IMO. :grin:

 

he should be out driving around wasting gas.

 

again with the wife negatives. you guys are helping me settle down.

 

or he is out there and polishing the polished supercharger... LOL

 

i know and i am enjoying it to the max. remember if you keep changing your mind i will have mine back before you.

 

So whats a good RICH A/F with this setup that keeps it safe but does not rob alot of power? Would Meth Injection help cause Reddfoxx has a killer deal on them right now

 

THANKS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't even know where to start. I was excited like no other the whole train ride up. By the way take the train and have "SUPERSTAR-SIGNHOLER" Albert pick you up. No stress, relaxed the whole way up, checking out the beaches and honey's in their bikini......................Enough of that crap on to the car.

AMAZING, FABULOUS, BADASS, OVER THE TOP, WAY MORE THEN I EXPECTED, KILLER, and COOL. I wanted to so bad to get into her from the get go, but decided to take my time and open her up for the first time on the freeway after rolling at least 50-60. In LA traffic for the first 2-2 and half hours all I stared at was the back of a "FUCKING" Kia. I was all excited about the extra power and was bumer locked to a "FUCKING" Kia the whole time.

I saw several AMG's, Corvette's, Audi's, BMW's and a badass Porsche Cayanne Turbo S that was modded. I wish I could of played with the Porsche. When it finally opened up I got into her and "WOW". She responded pulling really hard around 2700-3000 RPMS. I was amazed how hard and effortlessly she just wanted to run. I still haven't done a real launch, just highend runs. I'm amazed at how well she pulls now! Right by Via De La Via, the exit for the Del Mar Race Track opens up with an extra lane for car pool heading South Bound. A newer bike that I had been jocking with for a while ran up along side me (I was in the number one lane or fast lane) looked over at me and then I saw him look straight, tuck against his gas tank and it was on. The was gone and it was over within seconds. I could not believe the way the car pulled away from the bike like it was standing still...................I was truely amazed.

At WOT the dyno graph shows 5.66 lbs of boost. Even with the traction control on the car broke lose when I wasn't even trying to break them loose. Mind you all this driving was in "D". I didn't really mess with the Auto Stick. This is the best money I have "EVER" spent. Now, I have to do the suspension stuff and get tires.

Rick I apologize that I didn't ask you if you wanted to drive the car. I was tired from a very long, exciting day and really just wanted to get home. My wife didn't yell or say anything when I got home. I played with the kids for a while. The funniest thing, my son asked me if I got my car back and he wanted to go for a ride. I opened her up alittle bit with my son and daughter in the back, but only when the 4 lane road was open and no traffic and they were laughing like they were on a ride at Disneyland. My son was in the back yelling "SUPERCHARGER" and wanting more and more. I took them to Costco and he was still laughing and talking about the car while we were in Costco. It was hillarious.

I will be posting more up as the days go by. Today is my son's graduation from Pre-School. I didn't even know they had it, but I was told by several enjoy everything you can, because they grow "FAST"! By the way, that first tank of gas, "GONE"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

ALBERT, thanks again bro! I really appreciated your help in picking me up and driving me through scenic downtown Oxnard. The sign was too damn funny. I could hear Jeff Foxworthy saying, "HERES YOUR SIGN"! I'll have to show my wife today. I forgot to show her last night. Thanks again and I hope you get a date from VORTECH.:zorro:

 

You can't see it, but there is a hint of jealousy on my face.....

 

Holy shit that is nice I drool all over sc'd LX's Super nice and congrats!!!!! invest in tires! (ask ron to help I think he has a factory somewhere in a foreign country)


Have fun!

 

About the tune...I spoke with John when I was up there and they are working hand in hand with Johan from Diablo. We also talked about how they tune for safety and longevity versus peak power...we all know peak makes for broken parts There is much more on the table but this tune is SAFE!

I bought the meth kit from Red and John and the guys up at Vortech have it in their hands and will be giving me their opinions on it when I get mine back.

I also told John about the fan settings I was running and he stated that if a car came in with no T-stat they put one in it so I am assuming they are adjusting the fans but I could be wrong. I requested where I wanted mine set and he said no worries.

Overall John has been one of the best people to deal with. If he can do something for you he will.

Now on to Ryan. I spoke with him last night and damn did he sound happy...He said he was pulling up to give rick a ride and I wasnt to sure if he meant in the car or what...i let it drop. I hope he will give me a call and maybe let me check it out this weekend I am missing my HEMI badly

 

Yes and take pics, as much fun new go fast goodies are this is much more important plus you know he's gonna be going on and on about it at school and then run out with you and tell all the kids, SEE THERE IT IS my dad's ride is faster than your dads ride:worthy:

Wow... that's funny... Momo graduates today as well...

 

Ryan... I am glad that you enjoy your new mod!!!

Trains can be fun...

Now where is my next victim ... oops I mean person that I need to pick up??? LOL

Mines supposed to be ready by the end of the week, but I have a rental car I have to return back there so I'll just meet you there.

 

When we know who it is, we'll cum up with something good for them!

Exactly Ralphy, we learn as we experience things! I shouldn't have even asked about the numbers and just driving the car. I love this thing and already had to fill it up today. Poor thing needs to be washed.
