Any ideas?

U will top out in the 190ish with the 3.09's because u have the tires rated for that speed!!Nailed it....3.09s top out at 165.8mph in 6th gear then you are in 7th until 197mph assuming you make that far being 6th is the one to one gear. That is why I am keeping the 2.62s in my car.
EDIT that is on hellcat 275 tires. I suspect the 315 height is very similar though.
with 2.62s car shifts to 7th at 195mph....I know this from the charts and personal experience based on equipment external to the car so no speedo error from tire growth. Horsepower will not change this....this being shift points. Now will more HP still pull past 7th gear??? I don't know but I don't think so. I think it will just get you there faster. I'm keeping the 2.62s for the next Kennedy Space Center run in the fall but the HP is going way up. It should be interesting.
Table for 2.62s.
1st -- 4.714 x 2.62 = 12.351 ( x 336 = 4,149 ) = 41.5 MPH @ 6000 -- 42.8 MPH @ 6200
2nd -- 3.143 x 2.62 = 8.235 ( x 336 = 2,766 ) = 62.3 MPH @ 6000 -- 64.3 MPH @ 6200
3rd -- 2.106 x 2.62 = 5.518 ( x 336 = 1,854 ) = 92.9 MPH @ 6000 -- 95.9 MPH @ 6200
4th -- 1.667 x 2.62 = 4.368 ( x 336 = 1,467 ) = 117.3 MPH @ 6000 -- 121.29 MPH @ 6200
5th -- 1.285 x 2.62 = 3.367 ( x 336 = 1,131 ) = 152.2 MPH @ 6000 -- 157.32 MPH @ 6200
6th -- 1.000 x 2.62 = 2.620 ( x 336 = 880 ) = 195.6 MPH @ 6000 -- 202.20 MPH @ 6200
7th -- 0.839 x 2.62 = 2.198 ( x 336 = 738 ) = 233.3 MPH @ 6000 -- 241.11 MPH @ 6200 ( we're past the aero limit here )
Then we enter driving in a vacuum land
8th -- 0.667 x 2.62 = 1.748 ( x 336 = 587 ) = 293.3 MPH @ 6000 -- 303.13MPH @ 6200
Agreed. The Charger bone stock has a verified 204MPH two-way averaged top speed. I'll never see that and honestly don't want to try. No access to a high-speed oval and I value my life.Who cares what the top speed is???? Are you personally buying this 1/4 mile built track car to run it at the mile events? 98% of the buyers of this car or even a hellcat in general, will not be looking to test out the top speed.
So many people with so many questions that really aren't even going to buy this car. It's like roaches coming out at night now that the Demon has been reviled.
