that's stupid...well, guess it's like anything when they first intro it...takes a few months to years for them to release the codes...that's what's going on with dodge right now, they recently just released the codes for the computers, and now hemis are starting to make lots of power...just give it some time, and an upturn to the economy and i'm sure they'll unlock it

Even if you can't retune right now, just put a set of gears, and build the trans, add a stall, and they'll fly anyways. It's curb weight is listed around 3,500lbs, where a RCSB is listed around 4,400. 900lbs. in saved weight equals a lot of hp...

For some reason I thought i found a listing of it being lighter than that. Either way, that's around 4,000 or a little under without you in it. Not too bad, can't wait to see how they do. Have you ran it at the track yet?

I know you're all stock right now, what gears are you running?

9.7 should be right aaround a 15.0-15.1 in the 1/4 I believe.
