Only two places make proper 17" wheels for the Challenger and they're $500 a POP. Too rich for my blood for race wheels.
We have the same exact problem. Only two companies are making a 17 right now and they are around 500 a pop. No other 17's will clear the brakes.

I decided to give some DRs a shot. WOW what a difference. I'm new to drag racing and have a total of 9 runs under my belt, and I shaved 8/10ths off my previous PB with the DRs on Saturday. It was about 70 degrees and 30% humidity at Beech Bend Raceway.

I ran a 12.03 @ 118.26. My Challenger is a 6 speed manual and I launched at about 2,000 RPMs. It bogged down on the launch. Next go I'm gonna launch at 3,000 RPMs and I'm confident 11.x will be the time easily and is my goal for this car that spends most of it's time cruising the streets and hitting car shows.

Not that I wanna make you guys jealous, but look at all the gear I got in the trunk. Holy cow this thing is fast AND practical.



do you have a dyno sheet for your car? im curious as to how it looks.

Good job, you'll definately be in the 11s your next time out. With 118 mph trap speeds, you've got easy 11s in your future.

They're not hidden. They're all over my website link in my signature. Look under the "Project Orange Krush Blog" link.

You got any track slips or vids of your car on the track?

The Bogarts are $700 each plus you still have to buy lugs and ship them. The Camaro tax sucks!

With almost 119 mph trap speed you should be able to get that car into the 11:70-11:80 range with a little practice, very nice.

I had one run with a trap speed of almost 120. Like 19.56 or something. I think I may have stretched out the shifts a little bit, need to pay more attention to that.

If this was an auto tranny car I think I could hit the mid 11s all day. The manual trans makes it tougher, but it sure is more fun to drive on the street everyday.

I feel your pain. I'm limited to local track rental days only at Beech Bend. I got one pass in last February before they politely asked me not to run again until I got a cage.:( But it was a good pass!
