I miss two many pages and half to play catch up. I didn't realize this particular Hellcat had allowed people to look under his hood and trunk. So props to him if he is factory stock.

These cars that trap more than him have all manuals i think. This car is an auto that traps 132. I would think if there clean runs the 5.0 should edge it out. Guess we'll see.
when is the rematch happenning?
Next planned event is setup for 2/15. But I heard there might be some runs this Friday.
I got invited to go out with the hellcat and a few other bad ass rides tomorrow night but I already planned on hitting the track. Rain check ...I'll run him next time.
Why not do both?
Trying to get me in trouble with the ole lady??? Lol!
how do you figure 3.73s would give him a better chance? the HC is pulling up top, so by switching to a taller gear (ex: 3.73s or 4.10) wouldnt the car pull weaker up top?
The 3.73s put the car into its powerband sooner. A centri car doesnt start building real steam until 4500-5k rpm and and that steam exponentially increases as the car builds more and more rpm. A taller gear puts it into that powerband sooner.
Like i said earlier, none of it matters if you cannot shift the car because the tall gears are going to require you to man handle the MT82 if you want to keep up but its my opinion the taller gears and a great shifting trans would have had the car fare better.
I've always read that 3.73 is good for dig and 1/4 racing if your car is NA. If car is boosted in any form, 3.31 is the way to go.
I read that too a bunch until i bolted a Paxton onto my car. I wouldnt change gears if someone offered to do it for free.
The main reason you read that is because with 3.73s and boost you will have to shift into 5th gear at the track and no one wants to do that.
My first 1/4 event is in two weeks so i guess i'll find out just how bad shifting into 5th really is....

dam HellCat is a beast !!
Time for a TRQ booster package.
this black HC is racing everything - def'ly not one I'd buy in the used car market
Anymore runs with the hellcat OP?
Sorry for resurrecting this old thread but I'm just now seeing this, I never could get him to come back out for a rematch but I did run another auto hellcat from a dig and beat him every time. On my phone so cant embed
