Well it was time to replace the MT Street R Drag Radials, 6k miles on them & they had become egg shaped, I guess I should have been lifting the rear when parked in the garage, especially after a long drive in the summer when they get VERY hot, I went with the same 325-50-15 but in the Hoosier brand DR, they seem VERY soft to the fingernail, so now waiting on a cool weather Track rental day, it is still pretty warm [HOT] here in Southeast Texas, so the next time out will be testing the new 4.10 gears,, it had 3.54 & the new Hoosier's.

I also made a rear upper shock x member change, I bought a upper from RMS, that they use with the Street lynx 4 link set up, it is made to go in front of the Diff, I ordered mine without the upper arm welded tabs, turn it around backwards & install it in between the factory x member & it stands the shocks up more vertical. I had to remove my tail pipes for clearance, will have to do some modifications to the pipes , but will run with dumps for now, it is surprisingly quiet without them

Welcome back @cdr Charlie

sort of haven't seen much from you for a while

maybe I've been looking in the wrong sections

good to see you here again

good luck
the gears should help some get it moving
didn't know you went with the RMS Street Lynx set up

I'll be checking in to see what it did

ps;
does it still have the stack efi injected system ?
 
Thanks Budnicks, it is just the upper shock mount that I put behind the diff, still has split mono leafs & Caltracs, yes it is still Stack EFI. I had been staying away from here because of a member REALLY gets under my skin, but I decided to not let him control where I post & hang out, its good to see you still here Bud !!!! :)

This was back in Feb 2020, 1st pass with the Hilborn EFI, short Runners, 11.04 @ 123 , now have longer runners, more gear.
 
Good luck with that very cool Charger !! Keep us posted on how well that bad boy runs and best of luck to you. Ron
 
Well ,, went to the track on Friday the 13th , track rental $200 bucks & was only able to do one run,,, not bad about 20 cars, no road closures or detours this time so it was only 126 mile round trip, weather was nice 1550 DA, want to just make an easy 1st pass with the new 4.10 gear, car leaves very nice & smooth, I get just past the 1/8 & it starts laying down & burpin & fartin, click it into Overdrive thinking I was floating the valves, that was not the case, me & my FUEL VOLUME problems LOL!!!! VERY glad I have a Data log system, lookin at the fuel cells the ECU was adding 80% + fuel & all I had to do was look at the log for the fuel pressure & THERE it was, went from 55 psi to 30 to 20 to 6 psi & soon as I lifted it went right back to 55 psi, I will do the same volume test that Dwayne had me do last time I had problems when it had a Carburetor, I REALLY think my Fuel filter cant keep up, I ordered a new large 460GPH EFI filter & will do a 55 psi volume test as it sits now & then with the new filter,, my pump is a in tank 450 LPH pump, good for over 1k hp, sorry it took awhile for me to post about this, but I was so fed up with everything, I drove home, parked in the garage closed the door & haven't looked at the car since,,,, GRRRRRRRRR
TURN it up & listen

all the spikes are going off the scale lean & rich
on the left 8 psi fuel pressure

Sorry, but I can find you elsewhere!
 
Maybe you need the wing on the front of the car?
 
Is the Hotchkis stuff working against the Cal Tracs ?I think one is for drag racing the other is for road racing. The wing isn't helping either. if it's better timeslips you are chasing leave a bunch of that stuff in the garage.
 
I think the wing is pretty badass, worth a little ET.

No , an adjustable anti roll bar will not hurt the way caltracs work, helps the car work better, MOST drag cars now run a anti roll bar in the rear now days.
