Something does not add up here, but you want me to let it go, we deal in facts so we try to get them correct.





Old worn out and Ridiculous bone to chew . Hell my DYNO readings faded many years ago. Haven't had either on a dyno since 2010 CAA. And frankly I don't give a **** what they are.


I'm just throwing guesstimate numbers off the top of my head. I'm claiming nothing (although it is wellknown and documented that Bikecop's SRT was a 12 second car )


You cannot let it go,,,
All because I said I still could not keep up with Crumpy. And that statement is factually true.


So,,,;
KMA
Grow old fart. let it go.

That is not what you said to make me comment.
You said;
This bone stock Roadster baby will not keep up with her much more than my moddedNA..
Your meaning being that your modified roadster is nearly as fast as the stock SRT. That is not near to being true and you know it.
I can dig up the dyno readings you bragged about if you want.
Seems your NA was the highest dyno reading at EC with the closest to 200 at the wheels, others got 182 to 187 as I recall but EC qualified your figure with a wink () after you claimed close to 200. We never did see a printout for yours only other peoples printouts, Valks was one of them.
When you quote guesstimates you should say that is what they are otherwise people will start to wonder.

MMMMM. I guess I will go to the garage and pickup some SPANNERS and look under the Bonnet to see if I can fix this. Lorne

I could never get a printout from Eurocharged for the Dyno they did here at the 2010 CAA. I only know what he told me but he could not get his printer to work. So I would be very happy to get a copy. You are welcome to try.


You took the wrong meaning of what I said for your purpose to re ignite an old bone you love to pick. What my off the cuff statement meant to convey was that Beeker's Bone stock SRT will still not allow me to keep up with Crumnpy's well modded SRT-6.




As for Hyping my NA to sell that's nonsense. THE CAI on that car is a pain in the @ss sacrificing intake position for all weather operation. If it is raining hard one cannot pass a semi without getting some water into the intake. I don't mind trading the inconvenience for the performance but selling the car to the common market place, I will go back to stock.


Besides, few here would want to deal with that experimental CAI I( the one and only Eurocharged unit on a Crossfire) when they can easily mod their own existing NA with a proven model.






So, I will replace the intake with the stock Throttle body and original intake. The only mods I will leave are the bigger injectors and the SRT brakes.


Got a call from BIC to visit their plant in Charlette NC this month. So I plan on picking the Car up from Beeker as soon as we can set a date. And for a while I will again have three Crossfires on the paddock.

Good for you Franc. Drive it like you stole it. Numbers are numbers my friend. Funny how I don't see any of these guys at the track on the weekend. Numbers don't mean **** to me. Who gets to the end first does. Having just came back from a 1/2 mile event where my car wasn't shifting as well as it should, and given we pretty much matched up 1/4 for 1/4 with things that sell for a 100k plus, I am happy with whatever numbers it turns. But I do remember FP's, Valks, and yours being pretty good after your tunes. I know yours and valks run very well having had you both on my bumper. The N/A's perform very well in the mtns with all the curves and such, because I can't get enough straight away to pull up more hp. But, again, the driver mod does play in as well. Let it go, and good luck selling and buying my friend. The A/S Michelins are yours if you want them. Just give me a heads up so I can dig them out.....

These were my print outs at Eurocharged from that day back in August 2009...

Gary, why does yours stop at 5400 RPM?


As I recall that day, it was 105 degrees F in the building. Those are good numbers for that temp.

My dyno tune was done here at the Eurocharged shop when it was only 20 minutes from my house.
It wasn't a real hot day as I recall
As far as RPM....don't know about that

I'm just a nubie but doesn't Rpms have a relationship with HP?


BTW thanks for the memories. Those girls were as stimulating as the results I got from Eurocharged in 2009.


In 2010 they did even better. Not the girls, the dyno tunes

Eurocharged is noted for the quality of 'girls".... Used to enjoy going to their open houses. You have to drive to Houston now...lol.

Got the funds in hand, Airline tickets for Raleigh-Durham and plans to pick this baby up December 10th.


Just in time for Christmas.


Hope is that the weather let's us have a fun trip back to St Louis.


We will be a three Crossfire family again for awhile. I can handle it.

Wanna bring a friend, swing through southern Indiana and pick up a forth Aero Blue STR-6? It's faster than BikeCops (at least 6 or 7 runs at US41). I've been giving thought to selling my "Garage Queen" with only 6,037 miles on it.

I'll have to buy a lottery ticket first. This purchase left me with barely two nickels to rub together.
