- 2021 Charger Redeye
I'm going to go up to about 880 HP on 93 octane and figure its time to beef up my axles and driveshaft on my redeye charger. I have been running stock for one year (other than MT Drag radials) and then for the second season I ran a stage 1 tune from Moore Performance with a chiller. I added a JXB carrier bearing last year and now my driveshaft is not straight. The bearing bracket will not go far enough to the passenger side to allow the driveshaft to straighten out. So now I have a slight freeway vibration. There was nothing wrong with my stock bearing and I should have left it alone.
So I have about 100-120 quarter mile runs on it now with my best at 10.5 and I'm thinking maybe it would be smart to beef up the driveshaft and axles and lock down the differential with the carrier bushings before something expensive happens. I have the DIRS and AAD rear suspension kit already.
So would I be fine with even new stock redeye parts which are stronger than hellcat stuff and much cheaper with employee discount than aftermarket parts? I plan on cutting down my racing schedule after my stage 2 tune. I just want to get the car to a healthy medium for the street and track it occasionally.
I have not heard anything good about Gforce axles. And the exhaust pipes seem pretty close to the driveshaft for going with carbon fiber. And I want to make sure I do not have any driveshaft vibrations. DSS said my exhaust may need to be modified to use their 4" aluminum driveshaft. I'm really not happy about that possibility.
Thanks for any good advice. I'm already behind schedule to be ready for good racing weather at the end of April here in Michigan.
