There is a guy at my gym that just got an SRT 10 Ext cab. Its yellow and pretty bad ass looking. Im going after work and Im going to see if he wants to give it a run after Im done training. Figure it will give me a new baseline. Ive heard they arent that fast. Im worried about trashing my tranny so I figure a low roll would be easier on it. I will update if he agrees, but I may have to sleep on the couch for a few nights if my girl is there.

I'm not sure what they trap. The RCSB ones can trap up to 107mph if they are driven hard though so low 100s should be doable for the Quad Cab I would think. They are supposedly a bitch to launch so get him to go from a stop. :)

Good luck bro :)

If im going to get embarrassed should I just wait until Ive done a couple more mods?
Im seeing anywhere from 11 to 9# depending on belt slip (belt is way too long) and I havent retuned since I added the smaller pulley, meth, 212/218 cam, and headers.
Maybe I should wait until I get my serial card on Fri and get at least some tuning done.

I really don't know bro. I just know what the RCSB SRT10s are capable of. The QuadCab still should be an easy 13sec truck unless they just sit their roasting the tires. I'd really only be scared of them from a roll. Just race him with the contingincy that you get to race again with your new mods if you lose. Double or nothing type thing hehehe

I think you're right F8L. I remember not too long ago of a QC 10 posting a 13.6 sec pass in stock trim...I think it was SRT10forums...not too sure. Sounds like they are a little easier to hook in that auto the QC comes with.

Yep... i say take him straight on!! If he hooks those tires hell pose a threat but with no contact no worries. You just need to focus on your launch so you dont spin :drive: if you break lose once he might toast ya!! Good Luck and keep us posted... and try and throw on some vids of the whole thing, come on maaan you know where junkies :drool:

If they are running that I'll probably get smoked. Either way I'll give it a shot. If I lose, I'll have some real motivation to get off my ass and get this thing running. I should see 14# with the smaller pulley and Ive got some things waiting to be installed. Shorter belt to ged rid of the slip, EL fans, and maybe some timing if I go to a dual nozzle setup.

Sport Truck had one in their Truck of the Year contest, it ran 0-60 in 6.03 and 13.85 @ 102.11 mph in the 1/4. The specs they had said it weighed 5280 lbs but my QC Ram weighs 5240, I would think it's heavier than me by more than 40 lbs.. The V10 makes 500 hp and 525 tq, they have an 48RE auto trans, 4.56 gears and 22" wheels with 305/40's.

I just saw a srt-10 single cab run two weeks ago a 14.1 @ 102mph. It was the only run i think that he made that day i think. His launch wasnt that bad, he barley chirped them so i suppose he left relatively easy out of the hole. I could see the auto qc trapping under 100 though. I would think that 97-99 would be realistic.

I guess it comes down to driver and DA alot of the time! :gruffy:

i believe the weight could very well be more than yours since its the V10. Thats gotta weigh and extra 100lbs in itself, think about it...thats 2 more pistons, 2 more rods, 4 more valves, longer crank, 4 more pushrods, and a longer cam, not to mention the other few valvetrain parts!

I saw a black single cab in my neighborhood, it looked so nice. I think the extra 2 cylinders carry their own weight, so not really an issue. I've heard the Tq managment on the auto trans sucks the power from the quad cabs. RUN HIM!

:rotflmao: I could see your point if he pulled the plugs on the 2 extra pistons your refering to. Sorry man I couldnt resist :jest:

Rumored weight of an srt-10 reg cab is 5150lbs, where as a reg cab with a hemi is about 4800lbs. The V-10 plus a beefer drive train to handle that power adds a bit. ;)

Run him :) The heat will effect him more than you cause youre sprayin meth. I thought the QC's were runnin low 14'a but I may be wrong. Good luck get some vid :devil:

Well, I guess I'll be the Dodge guy to step in and give my 2 cents...

First, the auto in the QC has no torque management as someone stated above. It is the 48RE tranny they stole out of the 3/4 ton trucks. It is the old style... ie, not electronicly controlled. The 545RFE is the tranny with torque management and it is behind the HEMI and 4.7L. For the person who said the RC SRT-10 run's 14.1... you are way off... The driver had to be legally retarded to get that time. The SRT-10 is the fastest production truck on the planet. Don't think you are just going to roll up to him and dust him off like nothing. The QC is a little slower due to the heavy weight and the 4 speed auto vs the hurst 6 speed. I say race him and if you beat him, congratulations. Even with the modifications on your truck, you probably still payed less than he did.

Just race him already. You are going to psyche yourself out with all of this second guessing. Who cares if you lose? As you said, it's just for a baspoint anyways. I'd race you n/a!

Some quotes on QC times from srt10forum.com

I'm in South FLA and ran my truck in Feb bone stock and best I could get was 13.64 @ 104 mph

A guy in my area (guy's name is Andy Nievez, told him about our forum, hopefully he'll make his way over soon) ran a 13.15, backed up by a 13.19, and his truck is a red QC, rear tires at 26, stock, 1/4 tank.

Last time we were at Innis, there was a guy in a Black QC which ran a 12.91
I went and checked out his truck, only mods were romoved filter, and removed t-gate


Best I could pull with a modded quad cab was a 13.2. That was w/ a vec2, k@n, and no cats. Rear tires dropped to 22 pounds, and I pulled a 2.0 sixty foot. It dyno'd 451 Hp and 476 TQ.

Where are you at? I will run you. :)

Im in Brandon Fl, basically a few blocks from Tampa. My truck is down temporarily, but I would love to race as soon as it is back. I will still be on the GT2's so we may have to go from a bit of a roll though ;)

Heh, I tried running a stock srt-10 QC from a 45mph roll, he put a solid 3 truck lengths on me till I shut down at 90, and I am not exactly slow either. ;)

I didnt run the truck with the old setup at the track, but was consistantly turning low 13's on the G tech. That was with no intercooler, smaller, less efficient blower, less cubes and a smaller stall. Who knows, I may top it off with a 50 shot. :devil:
Obviously Im highly modded and he's stock etc etc

Agreed, but there are very few stock vehicles on here. Not to mention many of us arent satisfied with 500hp :devil:

Well it's still the quickest production truck, just not by very much. ;)

True. Most of us are modding, whether it be slowly or right after purchase. I think we can all agree on what it takes - time and money. I've personally owned Chevy/GMC trucks highly modded and loved it. Loved working on them and running them. Now I just have a new toy to play with. :drive:

I am on the East coast near Daytona, so when you get it running again let me know. We can meet somewhere in the middle. Orlando or somewhere else.

I might not be stock by then though! :)

That would be awesome. Maybe we could set up a bit of a new meet and greet for a bunch of members. I could get an actual solid idea as to how the new setup stacks up against what some of the modded lightnings and dodge guys are doing. :drive:
What kind of products are available for your motors??

I dont know there is something really wrong with these trucks, I dont think people are being able to run them to their full potential. I really think that they should easily produce high 12's/ or very low low 13's (i mean easily). I really think there is something about the tranny that is hurting the RC. I see numbers all over the place for these trucks.

I think it is the shifter, are these trucks being run on some type of linkage adapter that is putting the shifter a further up on the tranny?

I'd be interested in a meet. Gotta love a bunch of truck guys getting together and talking #'s.
In terms of the SRT10 having a shifting problem, yes and no. It's a long throw between gears and some are having problems hitting 3rd under full throttle. Obviously hooking is an issue. But on the good side, 2nd is a monster, they are long meaning you could get a lot out of just 1 gear. With the amount of torque these trucks produce you don't have to worry about lag. To be honest, you gotta drive it and you will understand why owners are loving them so much. Me personally, I've owned Chevy/GMC trucks modified. Before this truck I had a Silverado SS (custom suspension, shaved, intake, headers, exhaust..... nothing too much done but fun to drive). A stock truck with 500hp and 525 ft/lbs of torque...... impressive. Don't get me wrong, I think any truck with a lot of power or mods is impressive.
Just my 2 cents.

Hitting 3rd gear under WOT is the usual problem with the stock shifter. There are a few solutions to fix this but currently the best one is the X-Metal shifter replacement.

With the stock Hurst shifter there are times that it just wouldnt shift into third gear.

The other problem is traction. Getting a good launch is a bi*ch. You can get a set of 18" DR's that can help, along with slipping the clutch. Although it wont take too long to burn up the stock clutch if you are using it heavlily in your launches. There are several after market clutch setups that people are happy with and handle higher HP/Torque.

I have owend and driven several high performance vehicles in the past and this truck is the most fun to drive, period! :nod:

I see but during an average 1/4 mile run you probley wont even hit third on those things right (well maybe right before the end). Are the gear ratios the same that come on the Viper T-56? I would think. By all of your answers it seems as if, the traction is really what is killing you guys. Interesting. How sweet it would have been if they were AWD. What about the quad cabs are people seeing more consistant times with the automatic?

I also was thinking that you guys were using some type of linkage adapter to move that shifter up some.

You definitely are shifting into third and fourth :drive:
I believe a stock 04 (4.10 gears vs 05's have 4.56's) could cross in third gear but may be hitting the rev limiter right about then.


The X-Metal shifter reduces the throw by 33% and produces solid shifts so 2nd to 3rd is no longer a problem.

The tranny has been refitted with a stronger gear set but would have to check to see if the drive ratios are the same as the Viper.

People are easily hitting low 13s in these trucks. And, if this was a dedicated straight line performer, mid to low 12s would be a breeze. Dodge could have dropped a ton of weight in the tuned road racing suspension, the huge sway bars, the leather interior, the 90lbs. ea. wheels and tires, the 15"/14" 4 piston brakes, the 500 watt stereo w/ subwoofer, etc., etc. Smaller wheels would allow for use of drag tires. They also could have gone with the auto in the RC as well as the QC. But, they would be removing the very things that make driving these trucks so much fun. SRT-10s are not just one dimensional. Yes, they perform well at the strip but they are much more than that. They are an all around "G machine" type of performer. They pull 0.9 gs on the skidpad. That's more than 4,600 lbs of lateral acceleration! They are amazing on the mountain roads up here in the Rockies. They also stop as well or better than most sports cars. SRTs can run well at the strip, autocross, road race, top speed or just cruise the street. You have to make some consessions to do so many things so well.

Exactly! Sums it up for me :nod:

I completely agree!!!

Actually im not way off :eyes: , i have it on tape and there were others on this board who saw it also. Cammin03 was there and quicksilverado was also but im not sure if he saw it or not. Ill be glad to get it up on here if i can, im off of school for a few weeks so ill see what i can do.

plus im sure he cant drive that well, he might have been feathering it out of the hole, but he still ran it. Not too far off from other numbers im seeing. Im sure its capable of more since the qcab is running better in alot of cases.

I was there in person and saw the truck run a 14.1 and that was a single cab.....

They have too much power and not enough transmission and drivetrain.....

2 wheel drive and 500hp and 500 torque doesnt make for a good combonation....

And thats just my .02

The only time I've lined up with a srt-10 it was a qc. He trapped 97.6 mph to my 99 BUT in his defense it was right at 100 degrees and you could cut the humidity with a knife. Full out drag trucks were missing brackets between .3 and .5, no shi7. I was in full street trim, tools, stereo, spare, 22's and all. I didn't want to hurt anything so I knew I would not be as tempted if I had everytihing in the truck. Reason is I had just put new gears and a locker in my truck the night before. So he got me out of the hole pretty good, I had to creep out with a 2.45 60' to his 2 flat (I think). Anyway, I had him within .03 at the 1/8th mile mark and had put right at half a truck on him at the end of the 1/4. It was a great race. They are quick, no slouches that's for sure. I've been thinking of buying a QC SRT myself.

i have a 05 srt-10 stock i ran 13.1 @111mph last weekend with 400 miles on it. went though the trap in 4th then i ran a 14.6 @82mph missed 3rd went into 5th

Thats an incredible time for a stock RC ;)

Do you have the time slip ?

Good looking truck, nice choice with the limited edition.

Guess that stang is no show and all go ;)

yeah i wanted the black one but being in alaska you get what they got lol...so i have the only one in alaska 121 of 200 as for the stang yeah no show at all hoping to get high 9's with it next weekend

when i push the clutch in i hear a click sound.anyone herd this sound before?

when i push the clutch in i hear a click sound.anyone herd this sound before?

Yes, there have been a couple of people on the SRT10forum that have heard this, including me. We dont know exactly what the source of the "clicking" sound is but when mine started the occasional clicking sound, my slave unit starting going bad. I am taking it in to get replaced this week when the parts arrive.

I would take it in an get it checked out either way.

I would love it if there was a srt 10 in my area just to see how i stack up to it. I love any truck that can put down 500hp. Just wonderin if thats at the flywheel or the rear wheels. I know the 03 Lightnings are rated at 380 flywheel but are dynoing at around 350 at the rear wheels so i was just curious. Dont matter to me if ur fast ur fast no matter what.

Its 500HP at the flywheel. Stock RC's put down 425-445 HP and QC's are 385-415 at the rear wheel. I am shooting for 480HP next month with upgrading my midpipes w/ HF cats and a custom dyno tune.

Current numbers are in my sig...

I was thinkin it was at the flywheel but wasnt sure. Now I see why its a real good race with a chip, filter, pulley package on a L. I bet the numbers will be alot better if they ever make a drag radial that you can run. I can say that the Lightning is very easy to hook on the street or track with a lil practice. I figure traction would be the deciding factor on a race between a L and srt10
