This is one of the first ever runs at a test and tune. At the time ran a 7.68 IIRC> Its gotten faster since. Still gotta alot of tuning to do.

Good job! Now that your car is on the ground and making passes whats your impression of the sliders you installed? Do you have any street miles on it?

nice run but it seems you came of kind of soft. Can you come up on the rpms and leave a little harder?

I would like it to leave alot harder but the converter is way too tight. Ive tried flashing it and cant get it over 3k and its a 3500 hughes. I think if it would leave at 4500 I could shave off a .5. Its coming out this winter. BTW the rear sliders seem to be working good. I didnt have a chance to drive the car before I put them on and its not street legal.

ahhh I'm running a Turbo Action 3800 it flashes to 4k. Works for me. Probably could use more but I drive the car on the street so it'll have to do. What are you shifting at?

First converter I bought for my car was a Hughes. Called them and let them spec it out, car ran ok. Next converter was Turbo Action. Called Forte, let him spec it out, picked up 7 tenths.

Magnolia, that's a fun little 1/8 mile track about 40 minutes from my house.
Your car looks very nice!

I enjoy driving my car to Magnolia, about 6-7 miles from my place.

The small tire Nova that whooped you in the other video is my neighbor.

Nice race in beating the Chevy. Ron

Jeff..sounds like you could use a Dynamic 9.5" like the one's Ron and I run! Mine flashes to 4500 at the track..and works GREAT on the street! How much does your Charger weigh? My GTX weighs 3730lbs. with driver,and on a well-prepped track,the front tires see daylight under them.

I'm guessing about 3900 w/ me and gas. Full int, all steel except the hood and lots of bondo..lol How does that convert drive? I don't want a slippery mess. I haven't launched the car 100% yet. Got to put my new axles in and slapper bars... then it's on and shift at 6800. should be close to your times bratt
