- 2019 HELLCAT RED EYE
https://highhorseperformance.com/hh...gs-2015-2019-6-2l-charger-challenger-hhphcrs/
I posted in the 'what have you done to your Hellcat today' thread about these Demon Springs and a couple of you wanted to know if they were worth the $325. HHP and Carlisle performance both have these in stock, however I wanted the ones from HHP due to the fact they were painted black versus orange.
My mods are real simple, 2.85 upper, tune, 180 stat, Mickey R's 305/45/17. Work done by Peitz performance in Houston. Red Eye. No weight reduction, no skinnies, just drove to the track, lowered the tire pressure to 18 on the Mickey's then lined up to race.
My only passes were made during the Lone Star Moparfest, and there was a hiccup in the tune, so my PB that day was 10.42 @ 133, with a 60 foot time of 1.575. The DA when I made that pass was around +2,000. Needless to say I wasn't a happy camper. The hiccup with the tune made the car feel like it was starving for fuel on the upper end, but that was corrected before the end of the day. Anybody that was racing that day can vouch for how hot and miserable it was.
I was intrigued by the Demon Springs and ordered them, then a buddy installed them for me, however until today, I never really 'got on' the car from a standstill, so until I made my first pass, I had no idea what the difference would be between the stock springs and Demon Springs.
When I made my first pass today, I knew by both the butt dyno and a timeslip that this was money well spent. The DA was -325 (great for Texas) and this was a track rental, so the guys did a jam up job with the prep.
My PB until today was a 10.42. To simplify, I now own a 9 second car........well 9.991 is still in the 9's. The slip showed 9.991 @ 136 with a 60 foot time of 1.453.
I turned right around and ran a 10.026 @ 136 with a 60 foot time of 1.454.
Original PB taken at LSMF.
Passes I made today.
