Mopars at the Rock yesterday. First time running off the 2 step with 3000 chip. Having brake modulating issues as the rear 11 x 2.5 drums aren't holding in the beams and are driving the car forward when I stage it.

Run 1

RT: .008 (nice!)
60' : 1.767
330': 4.706
1/8: 7.192
1/8 MPH: 98.66
1000': 9.368
1/4: 11.233
1/4 MPH: 119.23

Run 2

RT: .410 (hello? McFly?)
60' : 1.696
330': 4.607
1/8: 7.097
1/8 MPH: 98.06
1000': 9.286
1/4: 11.164
1/4 MPH: 119.00

I went right in and the other guy made me pay by burning me down. Joke's on him though since he redlit!


Once I get the brake issue sorted I'm sure I can go up on the chip to maybe 3400-3600 since Stephen Daurity has got the "hemi under glass" launch attitude sorted. If I get a sub 1.6 60 that I know is in there I can easily hit my 6.90/10.90 goal for the car. The heads really need the bigger lift similar duration Bullet grind I have on the shelf but to be honest the 414 runs really great as it is and it's so darn 'no fuss no muss' I'm pretty darn content to leave the motor as it is. It leaves clean and straight and it's more fun to drive than any 4 bracket cars I ever had...combined! And people really LOVE to root for it and flock to see it come back down the return road like nothing I ever had before...it's really fun having a Crowd Pleaser, I'm just glad people get such a kick out of it!

The old Wallace mph calcs I think are out the window with the Rocky's less than swoopy aero through the traps. CD =.65!!! Using Wallace calcs and assuming roughly the same frontal area as a similar weight duster ( which is wider but much shorter and lower) and a lower CD of .5 the aero is costing me close to 50 hp and probably 3-4 tenths in the traps....oh well....sure is FUN though.

Had a Great time pitting with Chip and Steff and my buddy Ben in his 07 Charger R/T. It was a beautiful day, warm (low 80's maybe but there was a fairly nice breeze all day which kept it from feeling too hot.
