My Fantasy football draft was tonite. never saw the post till I got home. Sorry Bryan, I was hoping to video some runs for you and the rest to see. O'well , maybe next time. I'm usally available to go to Atco , I'll make it next time.
My runs were horrible. 14.0 14.1 14.2. SO far this means that even with 66 deg air, that my car is 4 tenths slower with all of my mods than it was when all I had was the SC. I got beat by a honda that ran 13.9 last night, I had to drive with my head hung in shame all the way home. I have no idea whats up. It just feels....slow. I'm ready to just pack it up in making this thing any faster. Anyone want to trade thier SC + 200 for a predator?
its not about practice anymore. I don't even have enough power to spin the wheels off the line. The car is just slower than it was before, and its a tad unnerving to spend money on performance mods that have a reverse effect.

I agree with you, if you run consistant numbers eilther you are doing the same mistake over and over again (not likely) or "the time is the time". I would be angry if I spent money on performance upgrades and it didn't do what it was suppose to do. I don't know anything about the predator but are you tuned properly? Sounds like something just ain't right. Good Luck getting it worked out.
BTW , don't be embaressed about the honda, some four cylinders with no weight issues can run amazing numbers.
I think in Mikes case that it's not the tune. His car hasn't run right (stock tune or canned tune) since he updated the flash on his PCM with the Predator. And of course the "good people" at DS are zero help.
At this point, I just feel rejected. I'm a low budget person in the eyes of most venders here and apparently in the eyes of the dodge dealers around here as well. I'm scared for them to do a diagnostic because if the Cal did change something, there goes my warranty. On the other hand I don't have 90 bucks to have them do a diagnostic to say nothing is wrong, and I definately don't have 250 to get an email tune that MAY fix the issue. I put it back to stock this morning, and drove it like a grandma. I'm done with this thing for a bit.
you think someone would be nice enough to spend the time with me to do that? That would be great. I'm just starting to get aggrevated, because I should have just left well enough alone and kept my SC. oh well hindsight is 20/20 I'm just sad because I feel like I'm starting to hate the car, which is never good.
Mike, I think you should try talking to Josh's tech (forget his name), he works at Brandywine Dodge. Claude and Greg swear up and down that they are the best and will bend over backwards to take care of you and Brandywine, and from what they've told me I am a believer. I know that's where my car is going next.
All I will say is you will have to spend money of its not a warrenty issue! If it is I would go to brandywine in delaware and have them look at it if its a aftermarket issue then I would just got to HHP and have them take care of the issue. And pay for it. One thing I will say is that HHP will not over charge you and Brandywine will not screw you. At brandwine call chuck tell him claude told you to call.
Ok, I'm convinced, I'll see if I can get in touch with Chuck at Brandywine and have them take a look at the car. If it isn't something stock related, I'll get in touch with Josh. Thanks for the support guys, between this stuff, and my dad's triple bypass, its been a very rough week. Have a great Labor Day everyone.
Ok its Thursday again. I am heading to ATCO all the way from DC. So somebody better show up. HAHA, I will be leaving about 2pm and its about 3 hours from here. So lets try and get some people. Tonight is no motorcycles so we might get 7 or 8 runs in.
I can't make it tonight, I have 60 machines to install so I'll be at work until the wee hours of the morning. Damn kids and thier beginning of the semester!
Sorry Bryan, I have plans I can't break. Lets try to schedule a Atco nite so we all have some notice and can make plans to be there. Best of luck tonite and have a great time.
So who else is racing on Thursday? I know Bryan and Greg will be there. This could be a good oppurtunity to start our discusion about the direction of our club.
And in case you didn't notice, I decided to rename the thread and sticky it. If the thread keeps going (during racing season) I'll keep it stickied.
Worked mids for a couple years...I know all about how much fun it is.
