So you have owned and raced two Demons and one Red Eye (or was it an SS?)...what's the difference between the two on a drag track?
Well, the RedEye would NEVER make the 1-2 shift at WOT full power. Not ever. But honestly, I think that car was slightly faster than the Super Stock if it would have shifted properly. The Super Stock ran a best of 9.95 pure stock. It ran 9.90 LOWERING the shift points RPM from stock. The Demons setup similarly, ran 9.55 and 9.56. The current Demon with further weight reduction ran 9.46.
The RedEye did make ONE, 1-2 shift but that was because it was chattering the tires and the Launch Assist was using ESP to reduce power. On that run it was over a TENTH quicker to the 1/8th. Let that sink in a little bit.
On the Super Stock I never mixed fuel. So there was likely another Tenth in that car.
If the cars really were setup the same and
worked properly I think the Super Stock likely would have only been about .3 to .4 slower. But that is the point. The Demon works better out of the box in -1000 ft DA. And the others don't.
Also to consider. The 21 and up Super Stocks short shift the 1-2 and 2-3 shifts so they suck in positive DA but likely work somewhat better in that -1000 ft DA.
Knowing what I know now, I would LOVE to have that 2020 Super Stock back. I would mix fuel, do the further the weight reduction to it and then add my last discovery to it. That thing would fly............
Not sure if this is what you were asking.......
