Raced a srt4 while getting a tune!!

Today was a great day put in the 42lb injectors and got a tune from fullthrottle. (Thanks spooner) Well low and behold mikes in the car with me logging my car and we are about to do a freeway run and what do we see a srt4 3 lanes over. So mike eggs him on and he feel for it. We jump on the freeway and do a 40 drop and we are off. We are even in second and then I start to pull in 3rd and then we shut down. I love the 7100 rpm limiter now. We turn around and do a 2nd run from 30 almost same result with the exception that the second race I had a little over a car on him by the time we shut down. Let me give you'll some backround information. I have a 2004 with 70000 miles on her. Mods I have is a 3 inch pulley heat exchange k&n intake 42lb injectors and a thermal muffler. Not to mention 250lbs of stereo stuff with my 190lbs and Mike 170lbs. All in all I think we did well and that if I could toss all the other weight it would of been a larger victory. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone that helped today. And hope to see you guys soon at palmdale.

its basically the sp00n tune but a bit different. hes still getting a bit of K/R though but hes going to try a step colder plug if that dont cure the K/R then im going to take away a degree or two of timing in the area of the knock to compensate for it.

all in all, would I get more performance from it??? I have a stage colder plug gapped at .039 and get zero knock (per interceptor). If so, I will be heading down there with the SCRLA cable to get a tune put on.....
