Good to hear there is still room for improvement. Sub 5 secs would be awesome.

its amazing that a 4700 pound brick on wheels can do that these days. back in the 80s and 90 you were luck to get 9 sec 0 to 60 with basic mods.

You got that right, my current truck would beat the old '88 IROC Camaro I used to have. I think it's great, I have a truck because I'm a homeowner and it comes in handy, but it's also my Hot Rod. I can beat on it and raise some hell, and put it in 4wd for snow. It's like three vehicles in one.

yah my first choice on a new car was a challenger rt. but i coudnt get payments in the right spot for me. then i saw all the rebates they were having on these expresses. and ended up getting the truck like 100 dollars a month cheaper. now im on the run to be able to beat rt challenger. and im so glad i got my truck cause since ive bought it ive moved 3 times. its saved me alot of headaches.

Its crazy how we land into our vehicles

Isn't trans tuning more or less adjusting for part throttle shift points? At least that's what it is with SC. I should know I've written hundreds of trans tuning shift schedules for SC and none of them are designed for WOT.

These 0-60 runs are all WOT runs, may I ask how WL and his trans tuning contribute to faster times? WOT runs are all open loop PCM mode which is a different set of parameters than closed loop mode. Can someone tell me how WL's trans tuning can make for faster times other than adjusting the WOT RPM shift points which is open loop? (pre-set parameters)

Don't get me wrong, trans tuning is awesome but only for part throttle shifting and tm reduction for enhancing everyday driving.

Dusterman, I was watching a bunch of your YouTube videos of your 0-60 WOT runs, stock tune vs. tune w stall vs WL's trans tuning and all are very similar times, some spinninig some not, you even claim to have a sub 5 second run well before trans tuning, sorry, not but I'm getting it.
Not trying to cause trouble, I'm just curious.

From reading his posts on 3rd gen tuning, he adjusts line pressure as well, which you can't do with Superchips as far as I know. You're right though, a lot of the tuning is part throttle. I've read he adjusts TC lockup, he locks out WOT throttle shifts into 4th if you want, a bunch of things that helps prolong the life of the trans. I'm glad to see he's getting into 4th gens now.

the ones before tuning i stop watched so cant ever get a true 0-60 with those. i can see and feel a huge difference with his tunes. my best with the diablo 91 tune i could only get a best of 5.87. and today i hit a 5.4 with his tune. im sorry but a half a sec diff is huge when it comes to a race. thats a car length. and he and i have my shifts going to 5950 from 1-2. supposly we cant do this because 2011 and 2012 are having problems with diablos 5800+ shift points. but somehow he got it to almost 6000. that says alot right there. plus his shifts in drive a pt throttle are perfect for my liking. and remeber i dont have a catch can yet (comes tomorrow thank god). so im still not getting his full potental out of his tune. a 5.4 o-60 and still hitting a 6.0 st knock. so i could still go way lower 60 than where im at after i get this oil thing taken care of. if i can hit a 5.3 on stock wheels and tires. i will be very pleased

Are you sure it's only 4700?
My R/T with a few add ons scales about 5300 lbs with me in it.

 

[dusterman]

if i remember right rts have always wieghed more than expresses

 

[dusterman]

on my door it shows 4750

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

Looks good, did he say where your A/F should be at now far as still safe zone.

 

[UNBROKEN]

The only thing that may weigh more is a few interior pieces.
You may wanna scale it....it may be even more impressive than you think.

I know my fiberglass bedcover and other stuff in the bed probably added 150lbs or so and I weigh about 230 but it still seems heavy.

haha yah your right i should weigh it. the heavier it is the more impressive. now i have to find a scale haha

 

[dusterman]

not yet he hasnt. im waiting on my oil catch can to get my true a/f readings. my st knock is sitting at 6 knock and it only shows up at wot. so were both pretty sure its because of not having the catch can. so after that him and i will go further into his 93 octane tune more. but we can still move my tranny tunning if i want to

Man reading this and following this thread is getting me excited for a tune. LOL

Love the Challengers, my truck's almost paid off so I've been window shopping a second vehicle. Starting to see some used '09 SRT8's for a decent price around here.

I like it......

 

[jlb]

I like that it is a 5-spd auto with a pistol grip shifter, and a clutch pedal... lol

It is still about 3 grand more than I paid for my truck brand new with 18 miles on the clock though, so I don't think I would touch it. Although, compared to new that is a killer price, and probably tons of fun
