hello everybody, We all know Ron is the big dog and blazes the way for all of us SS owners....but I am
just curious as to what everybody is running at the drags & using the cars as intended.

I got my car May 6th, raced it first time on May 12th, and ran a 12.62 & a 12.57 with hot temps & 540 miles on the clock.
I did have my poverty stars on the front, but then RACED it a week or so later with the fat Nittos all around & went 10.41.

Have probably put about 25 total passes on the car in mostly above 85* weather with humid conditions and
most all times have been right around [email protected] Best 60fts on the factory tires have been 1.47-1.52s.

I am really looking forward to my kind of weather.... in the high 40s-50s...with good air, as I am all about the timeslips.

The thing is I love this car...and have still been running it in hot summer months, as it is so consistent & is a great car.

I have installed the best rear brace, a catch can, and recently purchased some new M/T ET Rs. (not on yet)
They are a little shorter but wider....so I am slightly worried....but should be a lot stickier than the factory drag radials.
I did get factory DEMON front skinnies (painted them to match) and nice M/T tires...wanted that factory look.

Thus far since my track doesn't run cars through efficiently I have few passes to experiment & try different things.

Really looking forward to trying the torque reserve launches, as for now I simply flat punch it to the floor on last yellow.
I am hoping for realistic 10.teens @ 134 mph timeslips as I race at Cecil County in the cooler temps & weather.
If you can't hook at Cecil...you can't hook. Love this track, and downhill staging lanes.....

Will I MOD the car.... ? Believe me I want to, but I went down that slippery slope with my prior 16 HC Charger.
You need unlocked computer to tune, you need good tune, modify with any boost increases will need injectors, possible
fuel pump upgrades, risk warranty....and just add lots of stress to the mix.
Sure I would love to get the car to easy [email protected] . . . but it is also neat to say the car is bone stock from factory too.
I do have the rear seat delete kit....as I think it looks cool & clean and more factory drag racer like.

I just installed a 180* stat, & bought spacers & charger blanket material, and gonna pull the blower in the next few days. My reasoning is that should really help the IATs, & get a cooler charge through the engine & looks legit on paper.

Currently my drag procedure is, get to track, ice intake, try to keep car as cool as I can although can't help heating up in lanes. Then I try to get the race pages gauge screens up, put it in track mode across the board, go around the water, do a 4-6 second 1st-3rd gear burnout. next shallow stage, and flat punch on the last yellow... My car however, does short shift 2nd no matter what I do before 5k rpms. I do feel with just a slight tuning & having shift points raised, the timeslips would benefit greatly!
..BUT, as you know that is a lot of money just to tweak the car slightly and most likely VOID the warranty.
If I knew for sure.. it would run consistent 9.7s .. I would probably jump in. Stressful worrying about it.

well enough of my rattling on... any Super Stockers drag their cars regularly?

Keep updating as you continue racing. I want to know what you run when the cooler temps get here. And remember, Yellow-Yellow-Go!

Will you be at MSHS at MIR in October?

 

[Hpmaniac]

You sure it's shifting into 2nd at 5k? Must of meant 6000 rpm?

 

[CPO Super stock]

Have not run mine bone stock as i put a 17 inch rim on it. it went 10.9 to 11.1 consistent the only time I have been to the track with it. pretty sure it was pulling timing as the MPH was only 124MPH.
on a good note the car just flat hooks and I cut a couple .0X lights with it.
should have new times in a couple weeks... and were did summer go?

 

[kccat]

has anyone with a super stock raced a gt 500 mustang and what are the results

not sure how different the SS will be from a Redeye but we seem to eek them out in the 1/4 mile but at a lower trap speed.
From a roll the GT500 takes the Redeye noticeably . The demon is a different story .

YUP, will be at MIR Saturday Oct 23rd with bells on! LOL

yes, I raced a slightly modded one....and toasted him. 10.60 @ 130 to his [email protected] 132. It was hot & humid.
He had a JLT air kit, and drag radials on factory 20 inch rims. I had big (factory) 18 inch drag radials all around.
This was after he remarked about my car's heaviness …LOL I am not positive but I think my 60ft was a 1.57 to his 1.80.
pix were from iPhone video about 85 ft off starting line, both still on t-tags but 750 miles on mine, 800 on his.
A month later....even hotter out, HE was there, and I ran a 10.55 . . . and saw him run an 11.... didn't see him afterwards.

what was your MPH?

 

[kccat]

Thanks cobrakid that's great .

 

[Chuck Ray]

what was your MPH?

126 mph on both runs

 

[qwk93ta]

I raced my brother’s 20 GT500 with my 15 Hellcat….both on DRs, I won every race against him. my best was 10.8x to his 11.0x. He was running me down every race, my MPH was 127 to his 131.

 

[Himmelkat]

I wonder if another thread will now pop up to dis Hellcats and boast on Fords, now. They are kind of funny to watch, because they never seem to reflect anyone's real-world experience.

 

[cobrakid]

I hate this from VETTE and Stang drivers.... let's go from a 40-50mph roll.
yeah, NOT into that . . . although I do see some official roll racing that looks pretty cool on YouTube etc.
there is also a local HellCat guy with pulley tune and a couple other things done, riding around on drag tires, that
won't race anybody.... or go to the track.
Like I always say . . . THEY would rather think they are fast, than KNOW they are NOT ! LOL
Then I used to hear from B.S.ers.... I only like it fast for myself...or "I RAN IT AT such & such drag strip!" when we
know they have never set foot on a track, and I reply where DIR ? Disneyland International Raceway. !?!?!?
...bumped your head, woke up and you were dreaming....

Let you know on the 15 of November

 

[Chuck Ray]

10.7 with a 1.51 60’ 127 mph

I will be going this weekend and I’m in the same boat as you wanna try a few different things but the track doesn’t always cooperate. I want to know the best way to takeoff whether it be foot braking or leave it on auto in launch or possibly use the paddles.

You getting ready for T and T?

 

[CPO Super stock]

yup. out of town for next 2 weeks but sure am... Update to the horrible ET above is a 10.51 at 129.. still feel like it is pulling timing after the 1 2 shift but we will see.
