DCR Caliber Srt-4 dyno's 313whp/305whtq

[ispypsi]

i stopped reading about their new dyno numbers after i read return line. converting those returnless fuel systems to return style (if thats indeed what return line meant), opens up the car for a whole other plethora of tuning areas IMO, and puts it on a different stage of mods. so yeah, it did some pretty decent number though.

but i like that the MS3 can get there virtually without modification to the fuel system, other than maybe the upgraded CDFP, which is apples to oranges when comparing to changing the design of the entire fuel system.

regardless, i'm sure with a driver and the new power that car should put down good times. if it doesn't, someone can't drive

and there's always gonna be some people out there with calibers that end up making 500whp (totally pointless, IMO) but as long as the car isn't a total bust, it will keep soem competition alive, plus we have the SS cobalt now turbocharged to throw in the mix. i may not like either of the 2, but at least it will keep things interesting and move the MS3 aftermarket forward as well hopefully.

400 hp cars are cool! But only if they are 50 state legal. Put a legal exhaust on the car and hit 400 whp then I'll give you props.

I just searched the website, whats the bid deal here. The car dynoed like 267 stock and 272 after a intake and a tbe, catless, straightpipe no mufflers. IT did gain 30-35 through some points of the powerband, but i seriously think they are overratting this car. Well c what it runs on whatever slick they are using, im only going to care about trap speeds.

of course u do...it's not an ms3.(flame2)

lol

 

[laloosh]

so they ran a 13.18 @ 109.9 on slicks that they spun hard on. Ummm yea, i think we're still safe. Also i love how they are mentioning the ms3 in every dyno thread. What exactly are they bragging about? They make less power per mod and they run slower per mod. I STILL dont get the big deal(bump)
lol

 

[boostdog]

give it time laloosh..it'll be there and then some..the prob was not the car...it was the driver. Hopefully they get it back to the track asap and redeme themselves.

I just find it funny. Ever mag rated the csrt poorly. That whole team is saying its gods gift. Its a "money is not an option" car with a bunch of s*** done to it already and it doesnt run like anything special. I pmed them to do a lil 30 roll against me, they said no, take it to the track. Umm yea, they'll say yes when they go big turbo with a stroker in it. I understand the cars are similar, but holy ms3 bashing on that forum. Gets kinda old real quick.

or, you could quit being lame and put your money with your mouth is and take the challenge. Just sayin...

If they say no to that, THEN call them out. Right now it looks dumb on both sides lol

take what challenge? The tracks in jersey are closed for the winter, i dont trailer my car around to go race at a track 3-4 states away, its my DD. I simply wanted a friendly 30 roll on video. Never started anything, they brought up the ms3 in all their threads. I figured they are obviously looking for one, so i made an offer, they said no, simple as that.

 

[boostdog]

not everyone street races... it'll happen..and the money is no object does not apply to this car yet...in reality it has some low $ mods on it. it has the trap speed to be a low 12 sec car. it'll be there.

 

[aMaff]

why do you need to trailer the car. All I'm sayin is no matter how much I was putting down, I'd have given you the same answer, even being 100% sure I'd blow you away.

And why would you have to trailer the car?

you think that car would blow me away? Look up my track slips.

edit..dup. post

honestly.....i think it will be faster..blow you away..no but faster yes.

 

[aMaff]

oh boy. Let's make this clearer:

IF I had a car, hypothetically speaking, that in theory, would blow a car that you have, out of the water, I still would tell you to take it to the track. I don't see how hard this is to understand. For clarification: see the image in my sig. I've made my point...

doubt it. the spun out hte ass and trapped 109.9, when i spun out the ass i trapped 112.7. 2-3mph is nothing to sneeze at

how many passes did it take you to get to that time? total amount of passes until you ran that time in your ms3?

 

[aMaff]

altitude? Barometric pressure and air temp? Track conditions? Unless y'all ran at the same track on the same day during the same time of day, the time slips can't really be compared...

I put the pump on monday night, went for a test drive to see if the car worked, it did. woke up went to lunch, drove to the track. First run 13.2 @ 109, follwed by a bunch of 13.0's at 110+ It took me 2 runs to figure out i can shift higher thus increasing my track speed. The last run of the night, where i hit my good 60 was the 12.9

 

[boostdog]

no no no..how many total passes do you have in the car?

 

[laloosh]

no no no..how many total passes do you have in the car?

30? If the car traps 110 or 100, its a differnt car, doesnt matter if its the same ms3
