New memberand firsttime SRT8 owner

[Got_Hemi?]

Hello all. Received the heads up from SRT801 about this place from another Forum that we are on. Never been a diehard Mopar guy, but have always loved the GCSRT8's and was finally able to pull the trigger on one last month.

It is bone stock 2008 as of right now. I want to hit the new AWD dyno at Premier and then go to a T&T while it is still stock and get some baseline numbers. Then I will probably just do a T-stat, CAI, and a dyno tune (If I can find anyone with the software) and see where that gets me. Reading on other forums has brought me to the conclusion that those three things are good for a few tenths and MPH in the 1/4. I eventually want to do a mild Cam, but that will be farther down the road.

On to the pics:























Unfortunately it already had a front license plate bracket drilled into the front bumper. I took it off, but the holes were ugly, so I put it back on. I am still trying to figure out what I want to do with that.

Any guesses on an e.t. my first trip down the strip?

Welcome from Layton. Beautiful ride you have there. Noticed on your sig, that you also have a 2011 300c? Any pics of that?
As for your e.t. I'll have to let one of the racers here answer. My car is a v6, definitely more show than go.

[Geezus]

that's a good looking ride!

I don't have any recent pics. I have this one from before I had the windows tinted.



It definitely looks much better now with dark windows. Hopefully I'll have time on Saturday to wash it and get more updated pictures.

Thanks for the welcome guys!

Both very sweet rides! Welcome from Taylorsville!

Welcome to SLCLX family! Glad to have you here with us! Congrats on the recent purchase of your beautiful 300C and your bad arse Jeep SRT8. I fricken love the GC SRT8, especially the black ones. I hope to get me an 08 or new as well cause that is when they went to the darker interior pieces as well.

I hope you will join us on March 31 for what is turning out to be a huge Dyno Day Meet and Greet. We also look forward to you racing with us on the 2 RMR Drag racing club nights May 18th & Aug 10th.

You are right on with the research for mods and what gains are expected, although you already know, its a little tougher at this DA 4600-7000+ some days.

Majority of us use the Diablo software for tuning and running canned tunes. Cold Air Intake, Programmer, T Stat and Exhaust are usually the starting point for mods.

Once again, you have an awesome stable of Mopars for not being a mopar guys just yet

In regard to the front holes, I have a body shop guy as most of us do. That would be an easy and reasonible cost fix. Let me know, I can speak with Jason at Superior AutoBody in Riverton, they did fantastic work for me and I would highly recommend them, and they were $400 less than Central Collision, and $200 lower than LHM Collision.

Oh yeah, expected 1/4 ET from the other only 2 GC SRT8 that have ran at RMR with us, that are pretty close stock, would be Rick and Phil M, and they both run between 14.4-14.8, which is great for a 5000lbs SUV. Although the fastest known/reported/verified time belongs to a Jeep SRT8
Owner is Tom (cibola1000) Orange Vortech Supercharger.

Once again Welcome and look forward to meeting you soon at an upcoming event.

Club racing night=awesome! I competed with UMCA the very first year that RMR had that event. Are there points between the two events? Total winner named at the end? Is it during the event just before the midnights? I work Friday nights, so hopefully I can get it off work and the weather is nice.

Here's a welcome from the Wyoming side!!! You just bought that, I'm pretty sure I looked at it online and was gonna look at it while I was there last weekend. It appears someone is faster than me! Congrats on a spectacular purchase. I will some day own the GCSRT too. Its my dream...

Hope to meet you soon and maybe I'll bring the Hemi to the dyno day??? I think its my wifes baby shower so we'll see.................

[Pogo (Dave)]

Welcome from Syracuse! Love your rides.

[440Gordy]

Congrats and welcome from the north, Syracuse! Nice choice of rides!

The two club races aren't point related. There will be a 1st & 2nd place awards for both nights.

Hope to have a chance to meet with you soon!

As Gordon mention, no point series be tracked just first & second place trophys and braggin rights. You know the days, so start planning to get the days off. Always a great time.

Video courtesy of Gordon(440gordy); there is 2 parts after the first 10 minutes so stay tune for the 2nd part which is 5 minutes long.

Forgot to tell ya about the SRT Track Experience, which is free for you as a SRT8 owner. Great time for sure. Check out event link and register. Like I mention its free, if you dont want or cant go, let me know. I would be interested in buying your track experience.
