Didn’t get a chance to put these on last year before the track closed, then spring and summer came and was preoccupied with the boat. But now that fall is approaching I finally got these mounted up and they do fit with mopar springs. Thanks @oilburner
Don’t mind the dirty car lol
they do look good, I was always happy with the fit (y)

Yeah I saw that.
I don't care though. I still will never remove my pass seat so I will always be a little heavier.
I did however swap front sway bars with the ones on my wife's Charger R/T on the same day. It had the same bar as the other car got.
I finally removed the factory tire inflator last week. 😂
I will always be heavier as I won't go that far on weight reduction, I run more fuel than he does and I'm about 30-40 lbs heavier than he is 🤣🤣.
Unfortunately it isn't likely the two cars will ever line up together. It is fun for me to watch him in January while I'm buried in snow.
Fall is coming so maybe I can make his target a little further away. If not there is spring. 😂
I went out Friday to get some logs in the heat. (I'm still on the exact same tune from last October)
The car ran 10.47-10.50 in 2200-2350DA and crap Baro and 85f. So about as bad as it gets here usually. When stock the car would have been .3-.4 slower.

How are you doing this weekend?

I did a little weight reduction.
Gotta try to keep that stock boost record.
The other car I edged out was about 200lbs lighter.
Hopefully we can run late in the year again and see about the first stock boost pump gas 9 sec pass. 🤞
hope I`m there when that happens:)

Got back from BIR and was so motivated to drive something fast myself, we went out and did a couple of good logs for @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC to verify the power now added to the "tune". After I hear back from doctor tune, we will move along from the street to something more wild like I want to use for lapping to make this thing work more consistent and to stay cooler.:unsure:

Yes, FYI for everyone; the D/A was about 1500' and the Redeye really feels like it should now! The track videos could be telling soon, about what we have done.

In between repeatedly smashing the reload button on my order status page, which I believe has the same effect as doing to same to the elevator door close button as that jackass in accounting makes eye contact with you as he's already running late and rushes towards you as he knows that waiting for another elevator will push his supervisor over the edge...the some one whose been waiting on those TPS reports and is going to make a point of it as he's up for review with The Bobs...ANYWAY, I read the entire 144 pages over the past few days (a benefit afforded by being somewhat happily retired).

Very grateful to all for the metric ton of ideas I got, some free or practically free and others not so much. I figure the best thing I can do while I impatiently await the production of my order is to do as much research as possible, and since it will likely take months before I delivery I should know absolutely everything there is to know about Hellcats without actually having one...! :ROFLMAO:

Been meaning to ask this question for a while

Anyone else have a Hellcat the will cruise at 40 km per hour ( 25 MPH ) with your foot off the gas ?
No the cruse control is not on & no I m not drunk
If I toss it in neutral the RPM s drop to idle as I coast

No effin wonder they eat brakes

My previous Hellcat (automatic) would do this sometimes. It was like, if I let of the gas and the RPMs were just right, the thing would just cruise and not slow down haha. No idea why it happened.

It was most noticeable when I’d pull into my neighborhood and it wanted to cruise at a speed faster than I was comfortable driving in the neighborhood.

But if I did something to break the cycle, like step on the brakes or something, it would drop and idle normally.

Washed it off, let it know I was in charge, blipped it right in the driveway this morning to begin the continuing tire decomposition now that it has been “fixed”. Did drive to the car show and back as a good boy. Good thing, three sheriff cars in three miles on the way home is way too much!

Exactly the same
When totally off the gas & want to slow down the car wants to keep on going
Not sure if there is a way to correct it
Drives me nuts
I m now in the habit if tossing it in neutral

I think I know what you are discussing. Street mode, correct?

Generally I m in manual mode using the paddle shifters ( race car driver LOLOLOL )

I was going to try it in auto mode yesterday but never had a chance to get it out

Any opinions on this? Apparently Plug and Play Kill Switch(es). $99 doesn't seem bad...though I'm sure you could piece it together yourself for cheaper. At $99, probably not worth my time to try do so anyway. My worries about a kill switch is hacking into a harness or running a shit load of wire through the car, or a fuse / bad connection going and bricking the car. I have another deterrent for my manual which inhibits being started...though this might be a 2nd deterrent if you make it through the 1st in short order. I tend to be more function over form, so I look at a kill switch (in some cases) more likely to fail on me versus my car getting targeted and successfully stolen.
