How can you explain a 2 door coupe thats relativiley light weight, 3.2 liter v6, forced induction, forged internals, and rear wheel drive cant break the high 11's low 12's mark without nitrous, its insane really, it defies logic. My rant is over, I got it off my chest.
Re: Time slips for Fri night
yes, 11's were not easy, it takes a lot of work and dialing everything in. without looking at dragtimes im guessing there are only 5-6 guys that have done it. yes the fuel system has been holding us back. once the boost goes to 20psi the fuel tables go bad and the cars go lean. that has made running a large pulley without addressing this a losing situation. in fact i dont think anyone running a large pulley has broken into the 11's other then jeff. jeff is a different scenario though as he was willing to do things most owners would not with the amount of work he put into that car.
so back to the topic, yes we have the lean issue solved and tested up to 22psi and it "should" still work up to 25psi but the issue we are seeing is that we are running too rich on the low end. this is being addressed now and is almost ready but i don't want to put out a "not finished" kit. a few other customers have the same setup on their srt6's so far and it has surely solved the problem of the lean issue, just a little more fine tuning is needed to get the right combo of base fuel pressure and triggered fuel pressure.
for paul, yes i have no doubt that he will break into the 11's very soon. we are progressing in the right direction and i am very appreciative of all his track data.
i do not believe that the srt6 platform has hit a brick wall at 12 flat, no way. we have now opened the door on the fuel system and are ready to go fast!

It may be good for the track but different story on the street, I wish there was someone with one installed to give us some feedback

I have nearly 400 passes at the track and zero problems with leaning, pullies, belt slip, trans, rear end, etc... only problem is the 3 sets of hoosiers and 1 set of Mickey T's that I've used. Needswings and InMotion should be the only ones to consider if your modding your car. Unless you want to be different and in the 12's.

The whole point of this thread is that Xray has every Needswing part known to man and then some including the inmotion tune and is still stuck in the 12s. (Should be DEEP into the 11s imo)
I think that most of our cars are at the point where no gains will be had until you start fixing the fuel issues. Those of us that do not live in the desert at 3000 feet are going lean with less mods than you have.

My point was don't take away or add to what Rob set out and you will be in the 11's. Even easier if your not at 3000'. Remember I traveled to Famoso which has the track at approx 635' with DA around 1600' that day and still didn't lean. At famoso ran 11.89 with a single NW cai that were the original ones that weren't teflon coated. The same with the mani's. I sent the mani's back and upgraded to the dual NW cai that were teflon coated and ran 11.86 here in AZ. That DA was closer to 1400', and still way safe and way, way below the AFR's the other tuner tuned cars were posting and without meth or nos. Members have tried the SL55 intake, SC pulley, copy cat mani's, cheap DR's, and other stuff that didn't work. I know it's boring to not be original, but if getting to 11's is the goal then don't reinvent the wheel. It just takes money. For those that don't have the money then do what my buddy with a black SRT6 did. Here is what he has ASP 178, single NW, InMotion tune, Hoosiers and 30 shot of Nos gets him 11.7's regularly. Now both of us can drive, so that makes a difference. Practice before running all out for safety sake.
I am due to run at Sacramento for the division finals this September. I fully expect close to sea level DA, then I can put this leaning to rest and hopefully crack 11.7's or maybe 11.6's.
Most important if any of you are going to mod, make the Zeitronix Zt-2 your first investment. Protect your motor because not everyone will.
I'll check back in after Sac and give an update.

Just look over on Mbworld and see all the problems the E55 guys are running into pushing the envelope. There's a safe way and there's a cheaper way.
