Redeye runs 9.666 @ 142mph with stock pulleys on 100 oct tune

[simonscpr]

Last winter, I finally stepped up and bought a 2019 Redeye Widebody Challenger with the guidance of my good friend, Jim Schmittinger. We trailered it home and put it in storage.

Jim told me about the Demons Race, and I went with him as a crew member to help him race his car. The race was awesome! I learned a lot, made some friends, and figured out what I wanted to do with my car . . . Nothing!! LOL, I needed to run it stock and learn how to drive it while gaining experience. In stock form, the Redeye made 710 RWHP on my DynoJet 224X, as well as a best pass of 10.46 at 130mph.

Jim introduced me to Johnathon Moored from Moored Performance. Johnathon was a wealth of knowledge, and we decided to just do a 100 octane tune as my first modification . . . WOW! Jon’s tune made 815 RWHP and ran a best of 9.666 at 142 mph on stock pulleys weighing 4625lbs

I was pumped and decided I wanted to take it to the Legions 6 Race and see how it stacked up against other stock pulley cars. The Redeye did not disappoint, running a 9.68 at 140mph. My Redeye took 2nd place in the Bracket Race with Ron Silva piloting the car. Ron has taught me a lot and has provided me with amazing advice on how to make this car work.

I want to thank Byron Godbee for putting on this race. He is a stand-up guy who loves racing and was great to deal with. Racing with the Demons has introduced me to some great friends, knowledgeable resources, and lifetime experiences that I will never forget.

I also want to thank Jim Schmittinger, Jonathan Moored, Ronald Silva, Nick Lopez, Chris Kraczek and Philip Thoma from Richfield Service for all their help in making this possible.

If you have a Dodge and love racing, you need to bring your car to this event!!

If you want a Awesome tune, call Jonathan @ Moored Performance!

Jim Schmittinger, Jonathan Moored and I will be testing several new modifications on my Redeye this year and I'll post the dyno graphs and track results for those that are interested.

That's AWESOME

Yes, AWESOME 👏
You “hooked up” with a GREAT bunch of guys! Congratulation's on the passes, fantastic times on stock boost!! 🎉 👍🏻👍🏻

What an interesting collection of names!

We are all one group. Nick Steve and Jude are also part of it. Nick is the 23 year old that we did his engine.
Jeff goes about things the science way. It’s HIM. Took me a long time to be able to deal with it. I’m a let’s just get it done it will work.he wants to know why. He can teach people a lot of you have the patience to do it that way. Myself working as a flat rate technician most of my life no time for that. But overall Jeff can teach you what a pound here and there will do. He has plans that I’m sure he will share.

Jon and these guys have discovered an efficient optimum tune for these things. Good job guys, great pictures, even better reading about it.

Not sure who this Jonathan guy is but Jon told me what you ran last fall and the tune made a huge improvement. Like Jim said you want to go out and try everything on your own and there is nothing wrong with that but there are enough that already went there and know what can be expected

Jeff has is OWN dyno also something most of us would love to have

 

[GNBRETT]

Freaking awesome car looks dope AF. John Moored is the MAN........

 

[TNREDEYE]

Good job Jeff. Looks like you've got the RE running pretty good!

I could give you my 7 second race sled and you would probably never get it down the track, and quite possibly kill yourself as 3 other racers did in the outlaw class when I raced professionally, because its all about power management.
Im simply learning about my car, how to drive it, how to prep it, what its strength and weakness are, etc. Im not doing anything that hasn't been done already, I am gaining experience on making my car faster, and doing it one well thought out modification after the other while understanding what power increase should relate to what et and mph increase. For me, The journey is more important than the destination. I love making horsepower and learning how to get it to the ground. This will NEVER be a race car, My goal is to run a 8sec 1/4 mile with as little HP as possible and to build memories with friends while we do it.

Christ, Jon is going to need a bigger garage door to fit his head in it now!! . Don't tell them I said it but they are an ok bunch

So 8 second is still street car 🤔

I dont think it is based on time. I know of some n/a cars that run 11s and I wouldn't want to drive them on a long trip. My car has been low 9s and drives just like a stock hellcat and nothing has been removed from any comforts

You know it cant be! because a car is capable of and 8 second 1/4 it can no longer be a street car duh!!

Quite a few 6 second street cars out there these days.

I agree but many out there say its not possible.

There's nothing we can do about how they think.
