300Micheal, how did you get 14 second times in your M? - DodgeIntrepid.Net Forums - Dodge Intrepid, Concorde, 300m and Eagle Vision chat

I mean you have a lot of shit with extra weight in there and it looks to me like you didn't do THAT much performance wise. What helped the most? What do you suggest I do?

The one time I broke into the 14 second (actually 14.97) I had to do more then my current mods. taking seats our spare running on empty and changing to smaller wheels (15s). I hope to take it for a run this fall (too hot now). But I consider it a low 15 second. It wouldn't do that again with all the added electronics suspension and other parts I have added.

He always remmebers to turn off the TC. Unlike another R/T driver form the great white north.

I forgot to turn mine off while racing at the Intl. meet and won the trophy!

The first time I took it off was when I raced that Sebring for the inter-club bragging rights, got a bad launch (tires spinning), and lost by less than 2 tenths.

Of course, the point of your joke is still entirely correct... Avenger is hopelessly slow! :laugh:

Just kidding, Rob, you know we love ya'

grrrrrrrrrrrr, I'm gonna have to try that again after I switch to some smaller wheels with slicks and get some perf mods into this thing. I am going all out performance mods soon (gears, underdrive pulley, dual exhaust, MSD Ignition, tires)! Appearance mods are running out.

SPOOK R/T · 06-09-2003, 11:09 AM

All the Mods in the world won`t help some drivers. Good luck Avenger , what kind of gears are you thinking of getting 3.89 or 4.10 `s?

300Michael · 06-10-2003, 10:10 PM

Mine (3.89) are still on order. They should help me get the times lower. For under a $100 not a bad mod. Even cheaper then the dual exhaust system.
Pretty soon I will no longer have a 1999 300M, most will be other parts from other cars or other years.

I managed to get down to 15.40s Saturday

14.99 is planned by the end of the year

14.955 was accomplished.

Don, I was reading your posts on the 300M board. Sorry about the break man, but you made it. Are you ever going to reveal some of these magic mods? Thanks.

Tramodeus · 11-16-2003, 01:09 PM

His list isn't that horrible. If I remember right, he's got the G-force gears, Kenne Bell Optimizer II, LW/UD pulley, and a JoeKD intake with stock airbox w/K&N drop in filter. There may be some other small items on that list, but those are the big ones. Last I recall, he was playing around with the T-stat. I really want to get farther north sometime...the best time I've managed with my M is a 15.9 in Atlanta, but Don was there on the same day, same conditions and ran a 15.7. Only thing we both unloaded was the spare tire. I'm convinced the ambient humidity down south is keeping me from a mid to low 15. The guys up north or out in AZ like Micheal don't have to fight that problem. For comparason, my car with just the FIPK filter ran a 16.7 before the gear change.

Tramodeus · 11-16-2003, 01:10 PM

Damn double posts. Moderators, delete this one!

jcman311 · 11-16-2003, 07:28 PM

This makes me want the Gforce gears that much more. Thanks for the info and nice M.

jcman311 · 11-24-2003, 07:03 AM

Sadly, they dont make the Gforce gears anymore. :(
So, its either $1500 for prowler pros, or $100 for 2.7 gears. Then again, someone could become buddy buddy with a cnc machinist who has some knowledge and try to reproduce a better gearset.

Hypnos · 11-24-2003, 09:08 AM

Where did you hear that?

I noticed thier website is down...
