Years ago I had an aftermarket dash mounted timer and my car ran 1 tenths slower on the track than what my dash mounted timer said....Out of curiousity, Does anyone know how close are the times are that are on the Hellcats on board 1/4 mile times to actual 1/4 mile dragstrip times?
In car timer has been consistently 1 tenth slower than my track times and 1-2 mph slower. I shallow stage at the track so that seems pretty accurate.

That's awesome Rick! What altitude are you running at and temps? Up here in Canada, our track elevation is 2300' and temps average around 70 degrees. A good run down the track on street tires is 11.4 at 121MPH. I'm still learning how to launch the car (Way easier in a top dragster- LOL!) without wheel spin. Can't wait till my driveshaft and drag radials show up
Our local track is at 1250' buy that day the DA was really good 550' and temp was in the 50's. Won't see those conditions again until fall. That's a good time with street tires!
Yes I installed the Aluminum DS and MT S/S 305/35R20. Went out last weekend and with 68.4F, 43% hum, 27.31 Bar and a corrected altitude of 3986' I ran an 11.16 sec @ 124.3MPH with 1.66 sixty foot. Trying to get on a track rental to better the time. No 10's but maybe an 11.0_
Wow, 10.71 is great congrats. You do anything else other than tires? I have NT05R in 315's and ran a 10.91 @ 127. I thought mine was good, I want a 10.7 something! I did only make six runs though so maybe just more runs with the right weather. I have to assume you have an A8?
I replaced the driveshaft for safety. That was actually the 6th pass ever on the car and had 1200 miles at the time. The 2 passes before were 10.76 and 10.72. You just need good air! Good luck. I'm sure many will get there with fall air coming. I may be dethroned.
I did it!!! 10.98 @125.24 and backed it up with a 10.99 Tried a few new things and the car liked it. Weather data was 67.2F 24.8% hum 27.53 Bar and a DA of 3695. The car hooked hard with a 1.61 sixty foot. All stock powertrain, A8, Stock air filter, MT DR and an Aluminum driveshaft. This is one happy guy!!!!
I believe I am the first Hellcat in the 10's in Canada. I'm asking around on other sites to see if anyone has gotten in the 10's on a stock powertrain....
Just a suggestion, tell whom ever mounts the DR's to spray some GumOut carb cleaner to the beads first to get them soft and sticky. Found out mine were spinning on the wheels and I heard of a few others with the same issue.
I know this is a old thread but bought Bravado wheels/M/T and went to track only to find out stock lugs would not work...
Looks like these are the replacements for the above??

Any tire shop or auto parts should be able to get you similar ones. Just ask for a tuner nut or splined nut. M14x1.5
They are thinner than regular ones and will fit for sure. Make sure you buy the socket that goes with them.
