My Stratus was a RJ car also, best 1/8 was 4.70 at 150.00 . It was 2410 lbs with my 588 B-1 PSO headed engine. Only got a chance to race it 1/4 mile once and it went 7.39 188, It was at appox 4000 ft of air in August at RT 66 . Felt it would have been quicker with a 3 speed , it would sixty 1.06 most of the time. Good luck with yours.

Pete I love the car and it seems to be pretty bada$$ ride for sure. We have been able to make small adjustments and it responds to poor track conditions. The first run the last time out it just blew the tires off at .18 into the run. Two passes later 1.043 60', and in Vegas that is pretty damn good given our lack or barometer. was typical 27.8 that day.

Pistons are cut and going to see how much we can advance the cam today. Wont be able to get it where it wants to be but hopefully it will be happier. The heads seem pretty good at least numbers wise so our thoughts are we need more cylinder pressure. We will find out soon. Not happy about loosing some compression but whatcha gonna do. New pistons will be ordered as soon as we can get the new KB block and get that engine finished up.

Here's my pile o straus lol. Mine is RJ as well, and was Larry Morgan's in 07

This is the last time I ran it. WJ came out to help me sort out the new inerter shocks. I had hurt the motor on the previous attempted run, down 2 cylinders lol. Broke an exhaust guide that bent the hell out of valve in one cylinder, that introduced the intake valve to it for some lovely valve to valve contact lol. Broke an intake valve spring on the cylinder next to it as well. Those 2 cylinders were basically out of the picture. Also had ordered new hoosiers that came the day I was leaving. Had been running the PS tire at 104.7 roll out. These came in at 113. A real ratio killer with a 3.9 gear I had just switched to untested, from a 4.3. I did that because I went to a 3 speed. I mounted the tires up without balancing them. When I got home it took 8 ounces to balance them. The car would blur your vision in the burnout, and down track. Made the shock data useless beyond the 1st shift lol. Just a total mess of a day. I was so angry about it all I just ran it anyway, and drove it out the back door to see what would happen. still went a 4.38 with 1.01 60.

All repaired now, and ready for action. First warm chance I'll get back after it, and get both kits on hard, and early. Hoping for some low 20's or teens.
