I took my friends 04 out tonight with the following mods. stg2, race gas, 3in. downpipe, mopar catback, sts, and 23x8.5x15 slicks. Elevations was 4500ft.
12.89 @105 1.78 60ft. I think he will post the rest of the slip. Pulled good
My previous best was a 13.4 @ 104 about 2 months ago w/stage 1 when it was 55* outside, today it was 80 or so and my first time to the track using stage 2 w/toys.
I ran without toys for two runs and the best was....
R/T.....342
60'....2.079
330....5.683
1/8....8.682
MPH....83.34
1/4.....13.464
MPH....102.91
then I put some 104 octane in, turned on the race gas switch and the IC sprayer....then my best time was...
R/T.....232
60'.....2.097
330....5.623
1/8......8.541
MPH.....85.49
1/4......13.14
MPH......106.34
So....I'd say the toys were worth the money. I was running street tires and full stock exhaust too!!
I'll list the mods in my sig in just a min, cant wait to get my 3" MPx turbo back w/o2 housing, that should put me in the 12's while still using street tires, I hope

my best run was a 13.360 @ 105.93 the talon in the vid ran 13.355 @ 105.1 so that race was a blast. right click > save as, please.
note, early that morning i put in a new big fat intercooler and lost about 1.5-2 psi of boost which i still need to correct.
Word of advice.... Just stop now before it gets worse... Let it all wash away... This post backs up your post count. You might be able to bench 300lbs, but this internet is Serious Business and you are not ready....
Those that mindlessly insist that Stage 2 CANNOT produce good numbers becuase we were ripped off by Mopar, and that it does not produce the power Mopar claimed.
NOT those that honestly question whether 800 or 1400 is worth the gains. That after all is a value judgement each person has to make for themselves. But everybody that claims Stage 2 is a flawed product becuase high 13s is the best you can get with it.
And please note the smiley next to enemy, after all, this IS cars going down a drapstrip, hardly life or death
I see. There was a lot of hate threads there for a while. If I wouldn't have allready spent $1500+ under the hood of mine, I would have definately went with stage 2.
I think that a lot of the track times can be blamed on "inexperiance". When I went from 240hp to 270+hp it took a little getting used to before I lowered the track times.
Year-03
Toys-Yes
DAB Setting-3 For all runs
Misting-On for all runs
Tires-15/50/225 BFG DRs @ 17 psi
Parts-ATP 3" DP with Race Pipe and 3" custum side exit, K&N Typhoon, NGK plugs, Magnacore wires, MST2.
Boost Leak checked-Yes
Had Leaks-Yes, Fixed before we hit the track.
(Psst, no discussion please) I know there is some already, but the less other stuff in here, the easier to pick up the data. That said, Dale Selly started a poll a week or two ago about shifting with Stage 2. Try " Stage and poll and shift" or shifting, titles only. Most ended up being aroung 5800 or so.
On a side note, best MPH for the day was 105.09, but my spinning 2.44 launch ruined that run, like the rest, couldn't get my launch down. Four of my five traps were at 103 or better. Remember, if you want to discuss, please start another thread. I did the discussion above to answer some of the obvious questions.
