You gotta consider the weight of the Challenger as well. That instant torque will really get her moving.

That's helpful, thanks! Now if we can just get em for the same Chally....

OR, it will allow you to vaporize the rubber that remains on your tires, as I'm now finding out in the cooler Houston weather. My Eagle F1 "Supercar" tires literally have NO CHANCE to maintain traction on a hard launch, even with ESP full on. And I finally know what wheel hop is....

if you would like overlaying graphs, you can get the free DynoJet Pep7 software which is on the DynoJet website. kevin

*looking for racing valve covers*

and a PRETTY CATCH CAN

for those folks who actually take there cars seriously; download this free software:

Dynojet Research Inc. - Software - Downloads

take a thumb drive with you to the DynoJet, and have the data downloaded to the drive. now you can graph it any way you want. you actually know what's going on under the hood.

regardless of what the seat of the pants crowd says, this is far superior.

however, best put me on ignore for your own safety and the small animals around you you.

*i promise to keep it under 65mph*
