Final results after installing Ripa 800 kit

[RobsTRX]

Installed with 500 miles on the truck, after 10 hard runs I got the dash to read 3.1. With my other TRX it started with 3.9 and went to 3.5 with an incognito and race chip. The truck went from Chapman direct to Ripa so I didn't have any before #'s so I can't tell you exactly what the difference was. The draggy tells the real story with a best of 10 runs @ 3.59
From what I'm understanding from @Boosted I should be expecting in the high to mid 3.2's. He said more that can be done on a tuning standpoint. Steve from Ripa indicated on dragy the truck is 4.5 stock, 4.2 with incognito so I'm guessing he would believe the 3.59 would be in line? I'll update the thread as things change.

I’ve gotten as low as 3.91 bone stock, but in really good air.

With only the S&B intake I get 4.2 very consistently in similar conditions to your run.

Not making any assertions off this, just sharing the data.

I’ve gotten 3.8 stock with dragy in good conditions not the best

 

[Boosted]

Lot of variables to keep in mind so comparing times for different drivers/location/truck isn’t always apples to apples. I do think there’s more left in your truck but a 3.5 is pretty darn good.

How much boost with the 800 kit

I'm 15 psi. It runs 14 right up to the end when you just get the 15

If I could have, I should have started with dragy before the install and not just after.

Ah, there you go. That explains the difference in our draggy numbers as I got a solid 15 and occasionally flickered 16 with the 800 kit. Just different conditions based on our locations. Keep in mind our boost gauges aren't the most accurate though.

I saw 14 today with a lower incognito and s&b intake.

So far no engine light, so the ecm will compensate for 3 lbs additional boost over stock.

Best stock on draggy was 3.78… C&D did 3.7. Wonder what could be achieved at sea level on a cool day (the AZ desert is not kind to making power). I have only seen numbers in the 4.5 range at altitude.

Tested: 2021 Ram 1500 TRX Defines Awesome

Ram's mega pickup can jump, can sprint to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds, and still manages to handle well.

Do we have any members here with the Ripa twin turbo kit? According to Ripa there were dozens of people in line when it was released by I don't think I've ever heard of anyone here with it?

C&D measures with a 1 foot rollout, so their numbers are usually a bit hot. But I guess that’s the “industry standard” so for the purpose of comparison it’s fine. The Dragy 1ft 0-60 times are actually a lot closer to what the performance pages cook up. At least in my experience.

That’s true and probably explains the delta with other testers who show 3.8. I wish my performance pages lined up. I did several runs one day and draggy showed them all around 3.9 (hot day) but performance pages showed 3.5 - 4.1. It’s a cute gimmick for some folks though I guess. Maybe there will be a software update at some point that improves accuracy.

There are a few guys on the Facebook Trx group that have posted about their Ripa TTRX kits. So far everyone has posted good things. I ended up purchasing a whipple 3.0 instead of the twin turbo kit because they had a Whipple stage two kit in-stock.

I don’t wanna be that guy. But am I gunna regret my S&b order?

Why would you? His change in times is in different conditions… he isn’t saying the intake made the truck slower.

Ah you’re saying the temperature made the difference. Ok I get it

I think your numbers are impressive for example your 0-60 and your 330ft times are same as mine after my mods and I do a 11.2 in the quarter mile with my truck

Yeah, I only posted those to give @RobsTRX some baseline stock-ish runs to compare his heavily modified truck to, since he didn’t get to test himself. Definitely would not be a fair comparison on intakes by any stretch.

I posted some other data on page 3 of the S&B thread. Basically, I gained 1 PSI boost and shaved a over a tenth off 0-60 on average. And that was against the Super Stock intake I had on for the last few months. Difference between stock, and the S&B would theoretically be a bit larger.
