Sabotage?

I dont believe on purpose, but back to back runs will soak that intercooler and pull timing

True. And they did all those runs against the Raptors first. I’d say that Tuned on 37’s is pretty quick.

@Dustan says he has a potential race upcoming with the TFL TRX too.

wait until the trx has a smaller pulley and tune and it wont be even close

This is has always been interesting to me. The whole value proposition is 700hp (maybe more specifically some 0-60 or 1/4 mile metric the average prospective Hellcat or Hellcat derivative buyer cares about) backed by a factory warranty. I completely lose that with a pulley and tune with the pulley being something much more difficult to go back and forth for service if the need arises. If you're going to throw out the warranty that far, it seems like there may be more value from a different starting point.

Wow look @ that- bench racing DOES work sometimes!!!

figured a gen2 rappy w/ solid tune would be damn close to stock TRX

so we already know then- the gen3 powerboost raptor will be nipping @ heels of TRX stock & be passing it tuned

a 5.2 SC gen3 super raptor would eat it alive

weight matters
Trans ratios matter

So we learned that in a straight line the TRX is fast as hell. I still want to see how the TRX does a year from now with people beating on them. I have concerns about the all time AWD setup.

Exactly, not hating on TRX, but the Raptor has a proven pedigree.
