I had one of the first Super Stocks built in 2020. It was a great car. These 9 SECOND time slips are from Houston Raceway park. The first 4 are from a private track rental and the second 4 are from the Legion of Demons event one week later. It even ran 137 MPH a couple times (last 2 slips) but on both of those runs it had a hiccup on the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts slowing down the ET some. That is why I eventually had to try a TCM TUNE (PCM Still LOCKED) for those times when the car was running in negative DA. Spoiler Alert : it went even faster once I Tuned the TCM. Yes you can adjust the TCM Calibration with the PCM still locked if you are careful and know what you are doing.

Here is my favorite picture of the car racing at Rockingham ......

Really makes me wonder what is up with my MPH...

Even as a slow one. Super stocks eat and get off the line so well.

I am sorry but I don't remember all the details about your car setup. So I will have to guess a little. #1, you can see I had amazing negative DA when my car ran 137 mph. It also had super lightweight race tires and wheels. Less rotating weight helps a LOT. Also had, overall weight reduction that was substantial. Weight, ALL weight, is destructive to a good time slip and affects every number on that time slip. I cannot stress that enough. From the 60 foot to the top end MPH will be worse.


So, your car has a lot of options with no weight reduction, ran in much higher DA, had fat front tires and maybe a good size driver? I honestly think your car is right where it should be. And you can beat Dodge's claimed time? So, compare to your RedEye? Maybe it was a narrow body. Had narrower harder OEM tires and maybe it had a slightly better engine. I am guessing.

I understand where you are coming from. There is something sacrilegious about stripping the seats and panels out of such a beautiful Car. And Beautiful it is! I had a Plumb Crazy Hellcat and I never did any weight reduction. That car was so beautiful and it was always intact.

Here is a time slip where I ran in higher DA at the Rock. One of my best times from that race where I had the motor cooled down nicely. The MPH was not that great. Also something else to consider. Some Tracks will MPH differently depending on how the beams are set up and the height of your splitter. This is an example of that. At Houston I ran a lot of 10.00's at 135 and 136. Compared to this 132. Also, the car had heavier wheels and tires on it here......

Bone stock full interior too include mats but at Minus 500 I have gone 131. Normally in the summer it traps from 126 to 128. I sent you a vid on the quickest run... I do not need the fastest and it is consistent.
As always thanks for being helpful to the forum.
