Mid 13's are mine...
Ran a 13.69 @ 102.28 tonight. In the process of uploading some vids (I did not get that run on film, there was no one in the stands at that time), but I'll post the slip and some other vids. In addition, I'll post up why I hate this car.

Really good time. I know I have the power to run mid 13s as well becuase i can trap higher mph than you. I just need to get my 60s down!

Here's the vid, sorry it's right off the film no editing so it's pretty big (23megs):
link
First part is my buddy Jason running against another SRT-4. Jason later ran a 13.9X w/ a 2.2 60ft, all he has is an intake and $10 homemade boost controller. 2nd part is me riding w/ my friend Manny in his Stg 2 SRT-4 (that's it stage 2 kit and nothing else)..this is his very first track run ever, I was explaining how to stage and stuff. He later ran a 13.7 w/ a 2.2 60ft with a full tank, and a huge bag of power tools in his trunk. I drove his car and ran a 14.0 @ 97 mph and a 2.4 60ft, first time ever driving an SRT-4. Third part is my "proof" of my timeslip even though no one filmed it for me because...well..there was no one available to film for me. 4th part is my very last run, where you can tell everyone was dissapointed in my 14.4 @ 98ish mph lol.
Anyway, I had problems right from the start. When I got there I immediately got dialed in and made my first run. It was like a 15.3 @ 96mph..I was stunned. I went around and ran again 14.3 @ 98mph...okay what the heck is going on? I got around, parked my car, put the icebag on the blower and one of the SRT-4 guys Eric says "hey Caleb, dude your tires flat"...turns out my rear passenger side tire was completely flat. I had no idea I didn't even notice it. Anyway, so thankfuly Supermantx and jmartinez showed up and Supermantx let me use his spare. I get bored and decided to go the store find a tire plug, go back and fix the tire yada yada...boom hit my 13.6 run. I'm coasting towards the exit on the trackand I know it was a good run, it just felt so good. So I turn off and start to give it gas and...nothing. I look at the tach and it's on zero. Uh okay. So I try to start her up and she turns a few times, nothing. No cel, no limp mode, nothing. I'm thinking okay maybe I'm out of gas (fuel gauge was near empty, but I've been WAY lower) so I call someone to get me some gas. 5 minutes later I try again and she starts right up! I got a little scared so I went and put a gallon of fuel just in case. Go back to the track and as I'm staging my rpms just starting going up and down about 200 rpm's in both directions...and my foot is still on the accelerator pedal. I was worried but it was too late now, I ended up running a 14.3. W T H....go around again and the car is fine up to the staging area and boom it does it again! I ended up running a 14.4 which is what is on video. So I go back park the car, check every line that's visible in the engine bay, let it sit for about 10 minutes, start her up and let her idle for a little. She seems fine so just in case I go and make a run down the test strip, she rips like she did earlier. SWEET! So I go back for my final run of the night. I line up, rev to 2 grand, last light turns yellow and I ease off the clutch and apply throttle...and I'm not going anywhere. My clutch completely slipped, to the point where I was WOT and I had moved 5 feet. So I immediately let off the gas. I had to sit there on the track like an idiot for about a minute until I re-attempted to drive her. Clutch seems fine now....but ugh I can't believe how many problems I had with this car in one night, I still have no clue what was going on w/ the engine. I didn't throw any CELs at all.

Hey Tofu I had a similar problem no cel no limp mode. I was thinking it just got kind of hot but the temp went to 210 thats not too hot for it being 98 out side. but yeah I gave it throttle and almost no response it wouldn't even move it pissed me off so I let it sit for 10 min. I was really worried all I had on it was a CAI. I started it after a bit and she was totally fine the power came back slowly more and more as I drove her. Kind of weird though hadsn't done it since.

i had the cut off problem one time abvout 2 weeks after i got the car.. i pulled out of the driveway and gave it hell to the shift into 3rd.. then the car just completely died.. would not turn over and anything for about 5 minutes.. i let it sit there and cranked it up and nothing has gone wrong since..
i think it might have to do with fuel cut off or something of the sort.. im not to sure but its definantly an ECU issue.. not mechanical
