for stage 3 cars im seeing trap speeds of around 110ish. I dont think a fwd car is going to pull 11's with only 110. thats mid 12 territory
Well.

I guess it depends on how much of the stage is on there.

I remember ROTM on MF.com posting about stage 1's that were dipping into the 12's.

So I figured a stage 3 could at least hit an 11.

I was under the impression that the consequent stages ARE boltons. Isnt the stage 3 a few boltons, injectors and a tune?

Nice run. A stage 3 typically moves pretty good, especially from a roll. You should be pretty deep in the 12s.
He should'nt be pretty deep in the 12's.

Maybe mid 12's and only because of the DR's.

The stage 3 should have torn you a new one.

A lot of stage 3's are in the 11's.

I don't understand why he lost.
I respect the SRTs and their owners. They like cars and have ***** and brains. But I've run a lot of them. They're not that fast -- not 11 second fast -- unless someone spent a lot of extra money after the stage 3 on them. Mid 12s is about all I've seen a standard stage 3 do. And I don't like running against them because the combination of turbo kickin and torque steer seems to cause a lot of steering problems with novice drivers -- they pop sideways on the 1-2 shift. Nearly got me once.

Yeah, I have a good friend that has the full Stage 3 kit. I helped him fab and weld a custom exhaust for it. Nice cars when not riced out, but the torque steer can become bad.

To clear it all up my brother has just the Stage 3 Kit, with exhaust and CAI. He unfortunatlely doesn't have the turbo toys. It is fast and has dynoed at 332 fwhp. It is fast, but since I beat him all motor (No Spray) and have less than $2500 in my car. He has around $5000 in his plus his car cost more too. He is selling it to get a Firehawk so YEAH I converted one from domestic rice to American Muscle. GO ME.

If you both started in 3rd then you should have kicked his ***. The turbo was not even pushing any psi at that rpm and your v8 should have the torque to pull you through the gear. Try it again with him in 2nd and he will smoke you.

The whole third gear thing...we thought of that so we ran it again from 2nd gear and I still won only this time I pulled on him a little quicker only thing I can think of is I make my highest torque quicker than he does. Besides if I feel threatened I'll spray the juice next time.
