Others with direct experience will have to answer, I've seen a wide range of times from around your old time to your new time.

There were some thoughts sometime back about 2016’s having a little more aggressive stock tune than later models? With that 60’, I assume you had some drag radials? Was that run at MIR? MPH seems a little on the low side. For comparison, Vortecd just reported a 10.99@126 in similar DA in Michigan with a stock full weight 2016 Charger just with a green air filter and 275/50/17 DR’s. His 60’ was also almost the same.

MIR is a fast track. It will do better. What was your custom mode settings?

Traction off trans track suspension street steering street 1500rpm foot brake. The mph concerns me I know da affects it but 4mph seems like it’s pulling timing? I’m running 93 octane would unleaded race fuel help when the weather isn’t good?

Hickstah hea. 93 oct good,, 110 leaded not good unless you want to blow out your catlyst ic per verters, fuel pumps, exhaust gaskets, a many fuel rails and many other parts that will BURN out. Learned the hard way about gas ole ine allys that are selling race fuel unleaded and happens to be $8.88 leaded fuel. The car does not like that crap at all. The ally was even advertising it as unleaded until I threatened to sue. Young kid finely came across as to what it was. Usually sold close to a track. Will mess up quiet a few female parts. I was lucky, viewers will attend to, know I got away with the FCA rep and dealership backing me up,, as to spending too much $$$ for this con trap tion any way. Just be care fuel when these codes blow. Have a story in pocket and in my case take the rep from up north to a good grouper sandwich shop in Fl. During the winter months. Blamed the problems, all paid for, on the K & N CAI. Most expensive ever installed.

Stay with it , some times my car has to figure out what I'm trying to do and after a few passes it gets it.
So, I think you will probably pickup .5 sec. JMO

Maybe the '19's don't have as an aggressive tune being they are speed density? I know someone that took out a '19 last fall in 500 DA and ran 11.1@124

Also did you run both lanes? 1 lane at our track last year was 2 mph higher. I was trying to do some air filter testing so I ran the right lane every pass

Congrats OP , good for first time out but your car is heavy , how much gas was in it ?... high DA vs. negative DA is a hp killer , for every 800>1000 DA difference , is a tenth in ET.

Cmon....11.1 does not sound like "its too slow" by any means...right? I mean 10's aren't far away, and its basically all stock. The wheels were mentioned...depending on how tall or short they are would effect mph....or no?
