What did you do to your Hellcat today?

[DGatzby]

Taking the best average speed on a lap at BIR 145.5 miles in 90 min. You would not have enough gas to perform that feat. What do we have 10-11 min at WOT? I can tell ya at best 75 to 100 miles is all we have driving at about 97 mph average. Done lots of personal research on that one. Seen as shitty as about 3-4 mpg!

150/170 is more like it

Door to door from my son's house in Pittsburg...to our house in Orchard park NY...it's..207 miles...I've made it in 2hrs. and 35 min..but usually takes 2hrs 45 min...

Good stuff.😄 I have got lucky and done close to that out in Nebraska and N. Dakota on the E-W Interstates considering they have 75 mph speed limits, it makes it a bit less stressful thinking of potential consequences. I-80 in Nebraska back in the CB radio craze was real fun. Me and a buddy departed Cheyenne (young and crazy Air Force dudes) to get him home near Omaha once. He was driving my ‘78 Trans-am with the real Pontiac 400 in it and modified. I do not remember exactly what we pulled off, but it did not take long and I remember looking over at 90 mph and more most of the drive. I was the radio operator. Damn those days were fun. Oh, that is the car they ticketed me for about 87 in a 50 after I watched Smokey and the Bandit. Told the Judge my throttle stuck (it was 😆) and got off of some of the fine.

Shit I rode my new e-bike 150 more miles than my motorcycle this year. Since I only took it for a 15 mile rest ride is all. And it felt GREAT! Bad, bad on me.

What broke?

A bit of detuning going on and a supercharger belt that wants to slip to much
Put that black bird kit on the belt no slippie now👍

 

[1971demon]

No, the body shop is 30 miles and 1.5 hrs away (with traffic) from Manhattan. I'll see it when I pick it up tomorrow

Well...what's the verdict...what kinda job they do...

@2ndgen didnt you have issues with the blackbird tensioner?

 

[Unholy707]

Interesting difference in the VVT solenoid. New one up top is made 9/2025 in USA (no springs to retain the screens) below is 2015 solenoid (springs to ration the springs)

 

[2ndgen]

@2ndgen didnt you have issues with the blackbird tensioner?

Yes. It didn't have the same groove alignment as the stock tensioner.
It also came with bearings that have full-contact seals that are only rated for 11k RPM.
I put a TBA pulley on with a custom shim and bearings replaced with non-contact seals. Lines up perfectly now and spins like a dream. No complaints otherwise.

Thinking of going to a 2.85 and 100MM TB!
yes no maybe?

Live in a flood zone????

 

[Unholy707]

Water, because I drive it. A lot of them rust, big early hellcat problem. You'll see it on most early hellcats. Mine was pretty bad. It's worse on the hellcats that just get washed and parked and not driven. Water accumulates there and sits from rain and car washes

 

[Unholy707]

Not perfect by any means but a huge improvement. Now I can live with myself when I put the supercharger back on
