Laurel Chrysler dealers are crazy. I went to buy a 300 hemi and I figured now that the 2006 is on the lot the 2005 would drop in price. Yeah right. They want 500 more dollars for a 2006 than the 2005 model? Plus the car was "car of the year" and the car thats 31k is being sold at the dealer for 38k. He kept telling me how these were so tuff to get and thats why they are marked up. He had like 50 of these on the lot. They can't be that hard to find. Also in the 50 he had he did not have one grey metalic, the best color offered. Scammer: try that crap on someone else. I think he got the point when I refused to take his buisness card.

I don't know about that particular vehicle, but I've never been too impressed with Chrysler anyway...

the 300 is the best looking sedan in a under 50k price range. You slap some blacked out 22's and a blacked out bentley grill and you are rockin pimp status

It's too ghetttooooo for me. anything with rims bigger then 18 inches is just... gay. Drop all that money on wheels and one pothole ruins your 6000+ dollar "investment".

If I was going to rock a sedan for that much, I' take an STI Evo9, or maybe one of those Audi A3's. Of course you substitute 22's for a 22 inch high spoiler. meh. I wouldn't mind test driving a Charger, even if they are ugly. Cause Fast > Ugly.

IMO, Minimal, low-tone, to the point are the key factors.

You are not getting the point. You are racing a bike that has the same power output as your car and weights 500-600 pounds with the rider. You weight 3000. Its not going to matter what speed you run from. If you want to race your car try getting into a scca race where its designed around the skill of the driver not the rwhp. Not to mention your NA runs a 17 second quarter mile. If you don't believe me take it to buds creek and see.
ok.. i trust you.. thanx.. i might make it in 20 secs.. with my clutch messed up and ports closed.. I'm still gettin the parts for the clutch together.. at least get that out of the way then the ports..

You forgot to say that you might be close to maxing out your injectors too.... 8500 rpms is between 77% (at 13.2-13.3:1 AFR) and 80% (at 12.8:1) duty cycle. You don't want to go over 80% usually. There was a fluctuation there due to the fact we were running closed-loop with the wideband.

Hopefully tonight we'll be doing a highway run to try to re-tune a lot of areas that changed when we changed the ignition timing.

Yes, I agree, however, Cat/Airpump/AFM/LackOfASheildOnTheFilter/LackOfCraneIgnition is restricting my airflow a bit. Once those issues are (easily) resolved, I have no doubts that I will exceed my stock fuel system :/

Don't FROWN about that! It means you're making more power than you thought you would...

We COULD also try tuning for 13.8:1, that might get you to 9000 rpms at like 80-85% duty cycle with the mods... I mean right now we are trying for 13.2:1

Also, lets do a 2nd-3rd gear full throttle pull tonight on the highway... and do some higher-rev low-load driving too... so we can re-tune the higher parts of your map... I want to see what full throttle is like under slower acceleration than 1st gear gives us.

Also, keep in mind that we're not too sure about your fuel pressure since going around left turns still causes problems.... you might have low pressure, in which case, we'd need wider pulse widths/higher duty cycles than usual.
