Ok the past two theads i have looked at is this premade ported throttle bodie. if you actually shaved off arond 5 seconds with one mod. which is a little hard to beleive i guess. i guess thats my next mod...........

Anyone know there 0-60 in there 3.5 ??
From a low of 7.3 seconds using brake torque (C&D) to as high as 8.2 seconds from Consumer Reports.
Dodge had said 9.3 seconds but that's probably to get more people into a R/T because more profit can be made plus the Hemi is cheaper to manufacture than the 3.5L and 2.7L.

Well with my mods of K&N CAI, singtle in dual out flowmaster muffler, Long Tube Headers with High Flow Cats, 93 Oct Pred Tune from a dead stop 0-60 with badly worn out tires just shy of 7.0 seconds. Not with stop watch but did a video and clocked it when I viewed the vid on my pc.

yep i know, i found it for sale on the lx forums, then i found out he lived near me and was going to the meet lastnight and we met up and he sold it too me and then i just installed it... but i did break one of the bolt heads trying to tighten it

p.s vito that last post sounded meanish, i wasnt trying to talk crap to you or anything so please dont take it the wrong way.

Doing 0-60 time with a stop watch isn't very accurate. For one,the speedo is usually a few mph behind actual speed, two, watching the speedo, while trying to drive and run a stop watch leaves a lot to user error and is also kind of foolsih for a safety standpoint as you aren't focus on the road where you need to be.

Well for the safe part, I work were there's no cars at all and it's just a big open road thing part of my job and I press thr stop watch the 2nd I press the gas, also I know it's not that accurite but it's near it, it's deff an I'm provment.

mine today was 12.29 done on my cell. now you gotta remember i am a big guy 375 and i have over 100lbs worth of stereo equipment in the trunk and well the ground was wet..lol

if i took the subs out and had a lighter driver i probably could break the 10 sec but i like my music to much..lol

lol i hear you. i think i have like 4 tire irons in my trunk, every since i got my new tires the i cant get the lugs off with any of the 4 sides of the irons :/ but. i think the ported TB works good for the v6. and well i have all you do but the tune so i think im close in horsepower.

exhaust systems are different which could be a factor in different power. also i got the tune and the trans tune

nice nice, im not even sure where to get a tune around here, also i have a 100k mile extended warrenty, i wont be able to go to stock if i need to bring it in for service.

did some more lastnight even with tirespin on one try i still had a 10.xx time this is the real deal. did 3 times from a dig all around the same time

Did you have to adjust anything with the computer for the increased Air flow from the new throttle body? I was also told installing that voids the engine warrenty on your engine. Just curious as I'm looking into it myself and really want to do something to beef up my 2.7L just a little.

Also what size tires are your running? I have 22" on my own Charger and curious how that may effect your times. Have you also done anything to stiffen up your suspension? Sorry for all the questions but just curious what may be making such a huge impact on your run times from just one engine mod. Thanks!

the computer will adjust its self for the increase in air. it wont void the warrenty unless they can prove thats what caused the issue with it. and yes 22's will slow down your 0-60 as they are crazy heavy
