FYI even a Realtune stage 1 CSRT would appear to be stock unless you were looking really hard...and knew what you were looking for.

 

You keep mentioning all of the money you spent on mods. I'm confused as i see little to no mods in your sig. a intake and stage 1? No offense but thats barely **** in the world of modding a car. I scanned over your first post and kept seeing you mention all of the money you spent on mods and was expecting some huge list...

I doubt the SRT-4 was stock, but at the same time you got sandbagged why are you pissed? You won't win every race. Hell i don't win every race, there is always someone faster.

 

his psi says it all. I don't know what the stock psi is on the calibers, but I know the 04-05's SRT-4 Neons and they run 13.7 stock with the Mopar Stage 1 Fuel Injectors and Quaffe LSD @10psi without doing any mods and that's why I respect those over the Calibers. I think Calibers as bulky and ugly and heavy set vehicle for all that power with too much weight.

 

this are some things you could had missed by looking under his hood. intercooler, dp, and maybe hidden nitrous lines...seen it happen quite alot and yes the tune which theres no way of knowing. just like that they can tell u there stock but its bs. i know for sure stock vs stock an LNF can take Csrt4

 

See $200 for TWM, $400 GMS1, $200 Injen CP, and $270 Hahn, without shipping charges. Total of $1070. Its in my signature editing with mods I done that are still currently on, except for the DEPO's because I have Gestopo007 working on them.

My guess for his mods is Mopar Stage 1 and that's it. I looked under his hood and notice his SRT-4 cover was missing, but no mods. He probably had a stage 1 and didn't know it, because he recently gotten the car with the 30day tag on it. He told me he done no exhaust work yet.

 

i say u get a DP, retune, redyno and get back at him.

 

agreed. gonna to saw off the muffler on the stock exhuast with the new Dynomax VT and put the ZZP pipe on with blueberry's tune. Rerun him again.

 

Best way to find out if it was you or him, go to the track and check your numbers.

 

this Caliber was stock like my car has Charge piping only......which is what I tell most people, lol

looks mean nothing, you can't see a tune

 

right now I can't do anything because I'm unemployed and got to find a job first before I do any future mods. I've been out of work for 2 weeks. Just going to go catless with ZZP, which I'm sure they are looking at this forum and saying, "you should have saved and went with us, but you didn't and you got owned."

 

just cut off the whole exhaust and put a straight pipe instead of DP LOL...it'll just get annoying after a while but would be cheaper for sure lol

 

LOL, then you got to deal with the Green Martians (environmentalist)

 

Even with those few mods you're not running much power. With just my Trifecta tune I'm pushing 30 more horse to the wheels than you are. Go get the thing a real tune on top of your GM stage 1 and then work on the down pipe. Not to mention that once I hit 4th gear my psi goes from 22ish up to 27psi for a while before the turbo falls on its face in the high RPM's.

 

Its been said over and over already but, his PSI says it all. It had a tune on it at least. Also, a catless dp and a tune does wonders for our cars. The dp is the one of the single most important parts to upgrade from a performance standpoint. Even with the stock dp you can get better numbers with a protune(Trifecta/HPTuners) rather than GMS1. The TWM is a nice mod but not performance oriented.

Good luck with the job hunt!

 

I was thinking about going to complete Hahn exhaust with the catted DP from them with the Trifecta tune and have it activated in competitive mode and I would be set.

 

I love the TWM STS, I believe its far superior STS over other STS brands (Hurst and B&M) in our cars. Its good for shift timing with great mods to add on with it.

 

Agreed. TWM is the only short shifter I would purchase if I were to get one. Its a future mod I have in mind. In fact, I am already running the solid bushings. That being said, its not gonna get you that extra 30whp to get to 300, that, a tune and a dp would.
If you are trying to keep your warranty I can see why the GMS1 is important to you though.Doesnt sound like you were that far behind the csrt4 anyways. He just got you in the top end.

PS what finish did you get on your shifter?

 

Just the Aluminum M1 Abrams RL (spherical) Shift Knob from TWM. I love it. yeah the caliber got me at top end in the race when I was in 4th gear. Gosh my mind keeps going back saying I should have gotten this and that and saved so much like ZZP catless DP, ZZP CP, and the new intake tube from ZZP and keep the KN drop in filter without sawing the snorkel off. God that is getting on my annoying nerves, I'm sure everyone goes through this after they lose a close race.

 

I wouldn't sweat it unless you are really just that bad of a driver.

I dyno'd 243HP , 228TQ with pulled timing due to a broken water pump. So, figure about 255-260hp after I fixed it. And I used to pull on Caliber SRT-4's and Cobalt TC's pretty easily.

Using that as a reference there is no way you should have lost if he really was stock.

 

First off you are stupid for street racing, second off, He is either tuned or your car is slow via tune. Bro dont race on the street unless you wanna die or you want to kill somone. take it to the track!

 

I didnt count the TWM because its negligible for performance, as is the DEPO does nothing for performance. The CP... well its near worth northing but looks.

So you have a intake/tune for performance mods really. As far as Mopar Stage 1, i dont remember the stage 1 hitting 19psi.

 

I wasn't referring DEPO for performance. Its just a thing on my signature that I haven't yet updated. All the mods done to the car listed minus the Gen4's. The HID's 35w help a little to take a little juice off your battery compare to regular halogens 55w.

 

he was in mexico on highway 321 its ok

 

the only way ill like racing at the track is if or when i go with a AWD or RWD car. am not into dig racing in the balt. rolling races are the best in my opinion

 

i will say the srt motor is fast. my buddy has one in a pt cruiser and its stock with a auto tranny and when he wants to it will spin at a 20 launch. but he is not pushing 19psi and a cobalt pushing 22 should leave it sit. its not stock
