We took the Charger to Cecil County Dragway yesterday to try some new things, one of them being air pressure in the MT streets, so far we have only run them @ 17psi and have had very good results ( 1.60 60's ) and average between 1.60 to 1.65 depending on the track prep, so I started at 20 psi and Linda's first run she had a 1.61 with a bit of slip on launch as the cars rear slid slightly to the right on launch and she netted a [email protected]
We let the car sit for about an hour and made another pass at the same pressure and the car did the same thing but lost a bit running a 1.62 60' and a 10.90 @126 mph, third pass was just for fun running a friends 11.0 jeep, I did drop the psi to 18 and the car had a 1.62 60 and ran a 10.97 @126, it was starting to get hot and the DA was jumping way up so we called it a day, I can't say for certainty that going higher helped or hurt the 60' but it was the last time running the 20" MT as Linda's new 18" wheels are in and we will be testing the Nitto NT05R's and then switching to the MT Street R's when they finally ship in June.

BTW, it was nice meeting Bill who was running his HC Charger for the first time.

Top cat, are you running a charger or challenger,, and what are the mods to the car... Is it just tires??? 10.9 with just tires are pretty impressive...I don't want to tell you the two very sad story's I have about the two times I played with my car

 

[B5 Blue]

I wouldn't HC1

 

[hellcat1]

[Top Cat]

Car is stock, running a Al drive shaft and MT drag radials on 20" SRT wheels, anyone want to guess at the cars weight with Linda in it, I was shocked......

[hellcat1]

Never try and guess a woman's weight, lol... did you install the drive shaft yourself??

 

[jim]

Does the challenger have over 500 miles on it yet. Ready for tuning?

 

[Top Cat]

LOL, your right, so car without her in it..... a friend helped me, used his shop, took about 30 min because he has all the right tools and has done a few of these in the past....

Great times I took the HC out for the first time and only got a 11.3 a few guys that race there all the time said it was a great number for a HC I wanted a 10.99 run I would have been happy with that. If I would have got a 1.60 60 I may have got it. Oh well first time in the cat now try to get better times.

 

[hellcat1]

Billet, are you running stock tires

 

[Billet Hellcat]

Billet, are you running stock tires

No Nitto NT05R 315,s

 

[Top Cat]

BH, we run the Nitto NT05R's on one of the other cars we race and have gotten that car to put down 1.58 60's so I know they will work, the major difference if using Nitto's is that they need a real good burn out, like making the car disappear in a cloud,LOL It take practice to learn the car and what it likes and will take, I think Linda has it down pretty good .

This is bob, I was there with you at Cecil county, but the best I did was 12.03 on the street tires. I did this with launch control. they spun a lot. 2.2 /60. I tried coming off the line with out t/c but everytime i'd punch it, i'd spin the tires.
it was great meeting you both
