If he has S2 he's on stock turbo. If you go big turbo on an SRT with the S2 PCM you run into HUGE problems trying to tune the car. It eventually gets to the point where you end up throwing the stock PCM back in and getting rid of S2 altogether. S2 should be good for a mid 13. I certainly won't say that he sucked at driving, haha. My brother got a 14.2 in a 100% stock (tires and everything) SRT when he had his last year.

Well he did have the upgraded turbo like yours on his S2 along with all the pcm and other stuff. I was talking to him when we were in the pits and he said that before he got the bigger turbo, he got a 13.6, but with the new turbo, all he does is spin the tires. It was kind of funny to see him get a 14.4 @ 104 mph. Everyone was telling him that he just needed better tires.

NHRA runs at the country's premier tracks. Nicest facilities, best upkeep, etc. IHRA runs at the other crap for tracks. Ever wondered why an NHRA Pro Stock that is limited to 500 cubic inches runs nearly as fast as an IHRA pro stock that has no cubic inch limit (engines are typically around 800 cubic inches)? That's a big part of it, the tracks they are racing on. Also why IHRA Top Fuel cars are slower than NHRA Top Fuel cars. Along with the fact that there is just less money in the IHRA.

Milan is seriously the crap of the crap. the track in Nebraska was junk, and my best 60 foot time at Milan was still worse than the worst 60 foot time at the track in Nebraska. That track also gave up their IHRA National event to host an NHRA divisional event (event for only the sportsman classes, no pro divisions, i.e. Pro Stock, and fuel cars)

Oh I'm not saying you're wrong or lieing...I'm saying he is, haha. I still call BS on that. If he was big turbo, even with a 14.4 he would be trapping well above 110mph. With big turbo on a shitty tire you might be able to start to spin third, but in third you'll get traction and you'll finish in fourth. On stock turbo I got 13.0 @ 109. I have the bigger turbo now and am going to the track Saturday. My guess for myself is a 12.4 @ 118, obviously with traction issues.
