"stock appearing" at fair pulls

[maxthis]

So here is my problem, not really a problem but something i have been thinking about. Probably order a charger here in the next few weeks and still back and forth between a Cheetah or a 4094.

My question is, how many of you guys have been checked when running a stock appearing charger? I'm not hitting anything huge just local fair pulls and events, nothing major or for points. The only guys that I have ever seen tech are huge dodge guys and are pretty absent minded about chevy's.

Just looking for experiences i guess? I don't care if i have to pull in 2.6 but i mean, who doesn't want the trophy or money!:thumb:

that some thign i was thinkin about also,i have read and seen goodthings about the 4094,and was going to ask the specs on it. they do check here in ky,but thats only if you win a crap load of time,but they were also talkin about taging turbos.

 

[maxthis]

From what i have found which there is kind of limited information on the 4094's but people are liking them well...I haven't seen any dyno numbers on them though...

I'm not neccisarily looking to cheat either but I want to upgrade the charger but still hit the local pulls and actually stand a chance.

Just wonder how often people actually get checked when the turbo looks just like a stock one but doesn't really sound like one.

well the truck called "big nasty" down here im pretty sure hes running some kind of stock charger,and from the sounds of it its the "4094" but he has it on his lb7 and i know its not the "Cheetah" they have a diff sound i woudl think as long as it passed the plug check,and looked stock go for it

 

[maxthis]

that's the problem with the 4094 though, i believe it's like 2.65 or .68 something like that, will pass a 2.6 plug but i'm trying to get by with it in workstock... I'll probably just get it and try it anyways.

 

[dirttymaxx]

i didnt know if it would pass,stock d max is like 2.5 or 2.45 some thing like that cant remember.

i know if i can get one thats the rout were going for sure,then a big charger for when we move up. . .but we gotta get the big cp3 1st

 

[dirttymaxx]

i seen a post that has the specs posted,here. . .

I had a 4094 on my truck and loved it, but I ran into the trouble that it was either too big or too small. It's 2.72 charger and I couldn't pull with the 2.6 class and when I jump up to the 2.8 class I got my ass handed too me.

Hmm....suck, what are the chances of getting by with it as stock at brush pulls when the tech has no clue what he is looking at?:rofl:

on edit: and what was your take on it daily driving and towing?

 

[cobb]

I got by with it until some other trucks that were close to me got pissed. They started wondering why I was putting 30 ft on them and before I knew it I had to pull in the 2.8. Daily driving was ok once I got use to the spool up. I have the 6 speed ali so when I towed, I ran in 5th and it was fine. Just had to keep the rpm's up.

 

[maxthis]

Sweet! that's what i like to hear, i'll only be pulling 3 or 4 this year so i should be alright...plus i'll still be losing to built motored dodge of my buddy's that i pull with a stock but not so stock look-a-like. They let him pull so i should be good.

Danville

why not just get a Danville stage 2 with a 2.5 cover on it? I would be a great upgrade from stock and still pass a slug test. It's built out of your LLY turbo so it couldn't get much more "stock appearing" as that.

4094r or 4094vvt? I'm pretty sure the 4094r is bigger. The vvt is very close to 2.6 from what I measured.

 

[DMAXchris]

Ronnie, once you hit the throttle its gonna be a dead give-away that its not stock. The 4094vvt is one loud-ass charger.

 

[cobb]

I had the 4094r and when it spooled up you could definately tell it was not stock. I really liked the turbo but as I got hooked into sled pullin and wanted to pull more I was kinda screwed by the size. I love my 2.6 that I have now and it looks stock but you sure can't hide the whistle.

 

[Iceman56]

I would look into a Danville or cheetah that is 2.5 worckstock legal.

This is a 2.5 legal 68mm Cheetah, that's pretty BA IMO Don't know if you've seen it or not.
