The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hello guys, there's a long time I'm not posting but there's a great picture somebody took few days ago.

That's it

I was just talking about you the other day!

How is the car running?

Hello Dave.

Well the only place I had times I made 12.04 ET.
I don't remember exactly the rest of measures but it's about
0.8 : RT
1.9 : 60ft
118 mph

I try to find the ticket to scan it. I know is not a great times for the engine power but I need to work more to beat it.

I'm too happy with the work done in the car, the last upgrade was an aluminium Griffin radiator to keep it cool and new and more powerful electric fans.

If those figures are right it is your 60ft time that is letting you down.

That 118 mph is a mid 11 second run if you get the launch right. You are making over 500hp at the rear wheels.

I've found it.
My car was the #41
Is hard to see, I'm lucky because I just scanned it, a pair of months more and nothing to see at the paper...

Check it.

Yep. You are not getting off the line at the start.
If you launch well your 60ft time will drop three tenths of a second and that will result in a half second better ET.

Best RT : 0.739 #4
Best MPH : 118.1 #3
Best 60ft : 1.929 #4
Best 1/8 : 7.871 #4

The shift light at 5700rpm
The MSD limiter at 6100rpm (real RPM 6020)

The shift light were displayed at 3rd on each race and the limiter starts about 120mph
Tires 26x10.5
Rear end : 3.55
Auto trans 727

Yes, somebody on the track told me that 1 tenth at 60ft will be 2 at 1/4 mile.

Do you think that changing the tires for 28's will improve the ET? Maybe the torque range will be best to drop times than the higher rpm.

I think if I could drop the 60ft and RT the Msd will cut before I get the 1/4 mile distance.

Anyway the transmission has not brake...
