I'll start modding again soon, so hopefully I'll more info to share. Looks like your GT is a duplicate to my car. Glass roof? Ruby Red!
Yep, glass roof, Ruby red, I was blown away when I came across your thread!

We're near sea level (under 250') at both of our local tracks. In the spring & fall, the DA ranges from just under sea level to a few hundred feet above sea level. Pretty common to run 300-900' DA.
Summertime DA can get into the 2500' range. In good DA I can run 11.60's all day, while it'll slow down to 11.80's in the middle of summer when temps are in the mid 80's to mid 90's with too much humidity.
The only part that is a little different for me, is when the converter transitions into lock-up at cruise speeds / part throttle, a little bit of a jerk feeling, but I also had my tuning changed to ensure it goes into lock-up very early / easily. Other than that it just makes these cars very quick, but who wants that, hahaha!OK, thanks. Great times you have with those mods. Always like to try
and compare times and DA's to ATCO where I usually go.
I really need to get a ride with someone who has a converter. I've heard many comments that
streetability is great, but I probably truly won't believe it until I actually had a ride in someone's car .
Five oh brian, what are you using for wheels / tires at the track these days. I've been using the sve dark-stars with Hoosier quick time pros with pretty good grip, but they're now ruined, and I need a new set of tires for the 15" track rims. I see alot of fast stuff wearing actual radials lately, alot of ET street radial pros, and ET street R's. My bias ply qtp's weren't a handful at all as far as swaying and stuff like that, and since these are going to turn into "track onlys", a full slick doesn't bother me either, unless it's of no advantage over a street legal radial of course.
Am jealous, I would do long tube headers but NJ inspection is a 50-50 if pass or not. Get wrong guy at inspection station and does his job of a visual inspection and your screwed. Only way to pass then is to take it off. Long tube headers would definitely get me to my goal of 11.9s!
How do you like your challenger?

We are so lucky here in WA that 2009 and newer cars aren't smog tested at all.
The street manners truly are great. If you're ever in the Seattle area, look me up and I'll show you. The factories would offer more stall if they didn't have to worry about fuel economy.
Ever?? Did that originate in Cali? Hope so, as Jersey loves to adopt Cali
smog crap and for once this one could help.
So I didn't hack your thread, I had PM'd a couple people about them.
Sounds like Mike R (and maybe others) have the tune dialed in well for lockup
that keeps drivability, when you are not hammering it, close to stock.
Mike is really good with the stalled 5.0Agreed. Tuners are perfecting lockup (at WOT and cruising speed) to maximize acceleration and drivability. Shift quality seems to be the hardest part to dial in. Bama did a horrible job for me a couple years ago in that respect, so I turned to Mike Rousch, who did a very good job.
Mike is really good with the stalled 5.0
But at times I've heard he may be overwhelmed with work
I personally run his tune and have had no problems with getting in touch with him

Right on Brian, I appreciate you guys and you sharing your experiences, otherwise I'd probably still be looking into a bias ply slick. I see they make an M&H drag radial in size 325/60/15, do you think there would be any fitment issues going that big? here's the tire https://www.summitracing.com/parts/mnh-rod17/overview/, but damn, that's expensive lol!I have the SVE dark stainless wheels (17x4.5 fronts, 15x10 rears). My favorite tire with the automatic trans is a drag radial and I'm currently running M&H Racemasters (275/60/15's). Car dead hooks every time. 100% stock suspension and it sixties in the 1.59-1.64 range consistently.
