From what I have seen on this forum, the 185 isn't much better at the track. I think it is because it creates more heat but that just my opinion. Maybe the 185 would be better with the manifolds but no way to tell until somebody tries them. Rob has gone 12.0 with his 178 which is quite impressive.

 

hum..interesting. Only reason I say that is that me and victor have identical cars/tunes and the only difference is I have a 185 and he has the 181. At the track I seem to walk him by a couple of lengths. He is most likely gonna go to the 185 soon!

Maybe its just a c32 thing?

 

Last time they held the Midwest Private Drags I asked Rob if he would be attending - it sure would be nice to see his SRT running this time around against other SRT's on the same track, on the same day. - - You need to show up and represent Rob!!
The 185 ROCKS! - I've had mine installed for close to six months and many thousands of miles. No belt issues, no CEL issues, just stomp on the gas and see 15 LB of boost instantly let the RPM's build to 21-24 PSI and the IAT's (one you seperate the IC coolant) stay pretty tame for a boosted car...

 

A lot of the people with 185 pullies don't have the privelage of living near a track at sea level so the times don't "appear" as impressive. I'll post up the slips/vids of my 185 car running 11's in November at 2200ft elevation and a DA that's through the roof most of the year.

 

OK, let's not too far off topic fellas.

Rob: what's the word on those plenums?

 

ok I started a new thread so as to not hijack this great one. 178 vs 185 here

On topic, any updates Rob?

 

i was hoping to have them finished over the weekend but got delayed a few days, im shooting for finished with the production pieces on friday. i think we may come in a little bit cheaper then i originally expected, ill still need to add everything up before i say a $$$ number

 

How about some HP numbers for now.

 

here is a few pics before this last round of changes

 

How big are the intake tubes that run into those?

 

sweet still deciding on a custom logo. I think needswings would be best though.

 

Im curious too.

 

Will you be offering them annodized or powdercoated in different colors?

 

im trying to wait to show you guys pictures, were waiting on the shop that folds them for us to call and say they are ready, once we have them in hand welding everythign else and repressure checking (decking them if needed) will be a 1-2 day thing.
for the most part we can customize these pretty well to what you guys want, they will most likely be either polished or teflon coated in a choice of colors.
the logo's can be custom made (there will be a setup fee for the autcad drawings and cutting of them but it wont be crazy). somewhere on them will be our logo, we havent gotten that far yet tho. still finalizing the function before we do the form (the easy stuff)

also, the nitrous blow off plates were taken out of the design for now, they can absolutely be added if a customer wants them but to build them into every manifold we make would be a wasted extra built-in cost for the non-nitrous guys

btw, please dont rip us off i could have bought another crossfire with the amount of r&d into these so far

pretty pictures and pricing to come

 

Amen to that!!!

 

SWEET!

Go Rob!

 

Any dyno # yet? Or even a ballpark estimate of improvement over stock? Do they bolt on with the stock hardware? Will you also be sending new gaskets with the intakes? Also wanted to say thanx for putting time in these cars Rob!!

 

Can't wait Rob! Group buy yet?

 

we saw ~34hp increase with our last prototypes, we'll have to see hwo the new ones do after we redesigned them for ease of install and to make them idiot-proof. the teflon coating should help also.

as with all the kits we make, everythign will be included, you wont have to be tracking down bolts/gaskets/ect...

thank you for the encouragement, i know these have taken us over a year now but it will be worth it. our plan is to get us all into the 11's this fall and help build the srt6 reputation/resale back up to better then 40% of their original retail value just 3 years ago - am i asking too much?

 

ya we can do that, ill come up with details on that later.
