Racing a late model car in brackets

I run an 08 Charger in Street ET points. The car was very inconsistent until I took steps to stabilized AIT (air intake temp). The PCM (or ECM as other manufacturers call it) pulls timing as the AIT registers higher temps.

Under-hood heat soak into the intake tube was the principle culprit. Once i solved this issue by means of a headlight cold air intake tube through my high beam (there are other options), the consistency of my runs radically improved.

My car is not stock, however. And drag radials are a must. I found a set of Cobra R replicas that are 17x9. they fit over the SRT and R/T brakes. They work well and are very inexpensive.

Near OH, in Western PA is a tuner i work with called OSTDyno. He's great with the Hemi's... message me if you'd like more detail.

Race that baby... I took a Wally home last year in mine.
