Ram SRT10 Track times

Red Snake · April 6th, 2006, 08:16 AM

Anybody else been to the track? If so what times and mods?

I went Tues night. Mods are DC Performance PCM Flash, Belanger long tubes and K&N drop in. Weather was nice and cool, but traction was non-existent.

My best run was 13.072@108.55mph with a 2.089 sixty. Spun pretty bad in first and some more in 2nd and 3rd. Running stock 22" Pirelli bricks.

MPH was there for a 12.99 or better but the traction wouldn't allow it.

Practice your launches and shifts. It will make all the difference in the world. I am not certain about track times for the Ram SRT, but I think you should be in the 12's.

Thanks Hostile.

I tried everything from a 1000 rpm to 3000 rpm launch and nothing worked. Last year I got to run one time before the track closed for the winter and was able to launch at around 2800 rpms. This time I spun hard no matter what I tried. I think the track just sucked for street tires this time.

Doesn't seem to be any good drag radial choices for us either. It would take an 18" rim to clear the rear calipers on this beast.

Check out daytona custom wheels . They made a set 18,s for me with a nitto drag radial and ive gotten some pretty good 60 ' times 1.68 being the best .

Great 60' there. Is that with a RC or QC?

Unfortunately i dont know what an rc or qc is so i guess not

I forgot to mention in my last post that i also instaled a set of caltrac bars made by calvert racing in souther california . They seem to help a little with getting out of the hole at the track, but where i really see the difference is with the stock tires and wheels even with heavy wheel spin the truck stays perfectly straight and absolutly no wheel hop .

RC -- regular cab got it sorry brain fart

Red Snake · April 11th, 2006, 04:50 PM

Thats an awesome 60' for a truck. The caltracs must be the heat. My best 60 on the Pirellis is 2.0

Have the Nitto DR's coming...good to know they hook better than the Pirelli's....my best 60 is a 1.9...so far.

The caltracks are so much better for sure...but watch your clearances when changing rim/rubber diameter.

I also have a 1 - 2 drop.

JVENOM · April 16th, 2006, 01:39 PM

yeah you should be in the 12's with a 108 trap, if you get the traction down.

Best 60 I've heard of.....very nice

Nitto 555 R' s? Your tire height is 28.78"?

Anyone know what that changes the gearing to with the 4:11?

Like to know what this guys 60 was...hell of a run.

That was a nice run. Def some spray or boost there.

Paul Beach · April 25th, 2006, 07:34 AM

That was sweet.
