Made a few passes today...pics and video. *updated* - 10/24/11 01:21 AM

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

Up front are the black anodized Weld Alumastars with M/T Sportsman S/R tires. In the rear, the wheels are Weldstar R/T's on M/T 325/50/15 drag radials.

We had some awesome air tonight, but the cold temps made it hard to hook. I changed the Caltracs to the top hole and started with the Ranchos at 5...spun. Set them at 4...spun. Dropped em down to 2 and was lucky enough to run shortly after the track was prepped again. The car went 6.79 @ 99.59 with a 1.484 60 foot. Here's a couple videos from that run and a pic from another.

Nice!!!! I wish I could 60ft like that. I heard MAM is good for traction. But never had the chance to see. Good job, you have that thing flying.

Re: Made a few passes today...pics and video - 10/29/11 04:03 PM

Hey thats great. Congrats on the new best. For comparison on my best of 10.76 I had a 6.83 1/8 mile time @ 100.29 mph with a 1.50 sixty. So you have a solid 10.70 car right now the way I see it. You and I would be a good very fun race as long as you stop getting faster. Ron

Yuck, I dig it! And the Mopar purists would be so thrilled to see a couple of Chargers with Z28 hoods lined up.

440forpower, I'm not sure how good MAM is for traction. My car has always been inconsistent at that track. I kept adjusting my shock settings down until she hooked and after the good run I made, I made two more passes on the same settings and it just blew the tires off. I'm sure the track temp wasn't real great either so probably a bad night to judge.

Ron, we would be a heck of a race! I'm not sure if I'll keep getting faster. The DA was something ridiculous last night, like 100 feet. It was 2,500 feet when I raced last weekend. You'll blow me away once you get some more passes on that thing.
