yep. It cruises anywhere between 100-120 everyday driving depending on temperature. Highest I've seen it go since I had it put in is 150.
This is using an autometer tranny temp gauge in the test port on the side of the tranny, which some people isn't 100% accurate, but it can't be off by more than 5-10 degrees if that much.

With stock rims and tires they would be lucky to run low 13's in the 1/4, with drag radials and bolt ons(expensive) they can go deep into the 12's.
22's dont do to well for traction, and they are very hard to drive at full tilt, not too many people can handle them

It is easy to get the QC's in the 12's for little cash. I ran 12.7 @ 108 on the stock 22's with a intake/exhaust/tune. There are stock RC's in the mid 12's on stock tires. Just depends on the driver.
There were 50K 3 years ago. I got mine for less then 40. You can get them for low 20's these days. Have you added how much money you have spent on mods plus the truck?

But I am not one to point only at SRT 10's, Mustangs, Camaros, GTOs, Vettes, anybody can be a shitty driver. With the power the SRT makes in a truck, it makes the percentage of those drivers who suck go way up.

That is kind of the point, MOST drivers of SRT 10s cant drive worth ****.

But in my case, the race against the automatic srt-10 truck, from a 50 mph roll, rules out driver error.

I'd say that is very limited to the 6spd SRT's. Driving an automatic doesn't take much skill at all unless its from a dig or low speed. Other than that it is pedal to the metal and keep the wheel straight.
