Me and a friend went to the track lastnight to race. He ran his 20 widebody Redeye Challenger for the firs time. He is an experienced racer but with a manual SRT 392 Challenger. He did well with the Redeye first time out ran 10.8s and 10.7s had a couple 60's in the 1.5 range. Problem is his car is not shifting fast and hard from 1st to 2nd gear. He said it feels like a slight bog or loss of power between 1st and 2nd definitely can see the front end drop and then pull back up. My Redeye pulls hard and shifts fast and hard through all the gears.
Has anyone experienced this or know what might be happening. Sorry for the long winded post.

Yes try a 50/50 mix of race fuel and 93 it should take care of it pulling timing

Thanks brother just curious why do you think the car is pulling timing?

In a nutshell the octane is not where it should be for whatever reason? The controller see’s knock and pulls timing, the result is the car falls on its face just the same as if you bounce off the limiter..I’m lucky enough to have GT260 available at the pump..mixing 50/50 (your mixing results may vary) lets you take the throttle the whole way without any hiccups

What mode did he have the car in and what was everything set at? Could have just been the wrong mode or settings.

Track mode with traction control completely off and fyi car is factory stock with MT StreetR on beadlocks

On mine, I thought that TRACK mode still had some controls and SPORT turns it all off.

If I put my '19 Redeye WB in track mode the 1-2 shift was so hard I thought something broke, but when I did a custom mode with the trans in sport the shifts were nice and smooth.

He was in track mode with all settings in track same as what I run with traction control completely off

Ok.
