Anybody run their's at the track? looking for some mods to get in the low 12's high 11's. considering a car with arrington 84 mm throttle body and cai , diablo tuner and borla exhaust. on the test drive the seat of the pants meter felt like it registered a 12.5. Also looking at a bone stock car I thought I would mod but looking for a recipe? Can anybody point me in the right direction. I joined the 300c forums and I hear crickets

popcorn ... there's a sweet 06 or 07 down here that has my interest. Good value SRT car ? What should it run dead stock - maybe with a sticky tire - mid 12s ?

Bone stock they're a 12.8ish car if everything is right. High 11's Low 12's shouldn't be hard with bolt-ons (headers, TB, etc). Get a custom tune, they really respond to those. The 5 spd NAG1 cars also really like high stall converters

Lxforums.com is a pretty good forum with a decent amount of info. I have a 2016 Charger Scat Pack and have found that forum to be useful for me and they also have a lot of members that have the first gen LX cars. I have a custom email tune from Hemifever tuning via a Diablo inTune and I highly recommend going that route as he tunes all gen 3 hemis. On my car, the tune is what made the most noticeable difference.

option 2


Truth has no agenda, but those with an agenda make their own truth.
Some of us are so open minded they only see their View

option 2 and don't spend the money for headers a good tune and a cam change are better places to spend money. The gen 3 cars I have worked on and dyno tested never really responded well to headers. Never lost anything but never really gained a lot not like a good tune and a cam change plus headers for these things are not cheap at all.

Make sure you look it over well too... these cars rust on the inner front rails on the inside by the exhaust. I had to weld in sections on both sides of my magnum rt. Wasn't a bad job to do as I was rebuilding the engine and it was out of the way.
