My local track reopened this weekend for the first time since June due to flooding. I took the Charger out for a few passes. The video is of my best run which netted a 6.909 @ 97.95. I think there's a little more in her as I haven't done much tinkering yet, but the Prosystems E85 performs well so it could be spot on. Click on the last pic for video. Sorry for the video quality.

Thanks guys! I have an NX nitrous kit that is untested. I want to familiarize myself with E85 and nitrous before I get too carried away. She should run hard with some spray. For now, I'm just enjoying making passes in the car for the first time in 4 years.

Yep, stock K member up front with Caltrac 90/10 shocks. In the rear is the whole Caltrac setup with Rancho shocks. And I'll go slower if I go to Kearney with the rise in elevation! I'd really like to go to KCIR or Topeka sometime.

Nice going. We would be a good race as yesterday I ran 6.89 @ 100 and 10.83 @ 124. I like them real close races. Good looking Charger you have. Ron

Thanks for the compliments guys! 440forpower, I'm really pleased with the Caltrac front shocks. My car was apart for 4 years and the combo is a little different, but from what I remember, the weight transfer seems much better than it was with CE drag shocks up front. The car has pulled a best 60' of 1.502 so far. I'm running a low gear set in the trans so that might help the short time some. Ron, sounds like it would be a good race. I just wish I could pull the MPH you are! You car sure is a sleeper!

Thank you. For reference my best 60 with this combo so far was 2 weeks ago when I ran 10.76 @ 124 with a 1.50 sixty. The 10.83 was a 1.54 sixty but it felt like it spun worse then that. I just use 3400 lb SS springs that I bought from Mancini. Ron
