There’s no reason why you shouldn’t be running deep 9s with your current setup. Go 9s first, then switch it up. Just my opinion

Standard demon converter? Can get those for $1k off HHP.

Wondering how it drives on the street and the pros to it? Just being able to load up more on the line?
Street Drivability is fine. Dodge wouldn't release something in a car like the redeye that didn't drive smooth. @vortecd cut a 1.31 60 with a similar setup to you now. But that was on great prep not your typical tnt prep.

Has 3 stalls you can choose from. Don’t help the guy if you don’t say your stall just saying
Very Nice that you will be coming out with a converter with an extra clutch.

Tell us about that. What will the stall be or will there be more than 1?

Building a late model car like a hellcat you can throw everything out the window compared to building on older car even something like a fox body. Everything you normally upgrade you don't need to with these. My car basically has a blower up grade and I'm going 20 mph faster in the 1/4. Where you would want to upgrade would be drive line and suspension

I think that's been a lot of my problem aside from the obvious previous problems we've encountered it's just the track I was going to was crappy prep. When the tracks open back up I'll be going to one that's prepped so we'll see how we do then

The converter you said you have has 3 stall ratings. You said this is the one I have. What one of the 3 they list ?

@Hatermkr isn’t coming out with a converter. @hellno has been doing some converter testing but nothing official yet to be released.

Hey Marc - not sure if you know of or follow Steve Morris, but he has a new prototype bolt-together, non-lockup from Chance - all billet titanium! For the Boostmaster. Weighs like 12 or 13 lbs. I can't imagine what that thing would cost

I know who he is. Mine weighs 25 lbs. I can’t even guess what a 13 lb chunk of titanium costs. My guess is … more. 😝

I see @Hatermkr it's in the options list.
I'm not sure of the answer. You know I don't modify my Hellcat myself and is usually why I ask people to call for questions.
I'll have to find out the answer.
And @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC
Makes sense for a Transmission guy , .......I got the H mixed up!

Thanks
Linda

My husband (Top Cat)bought a Neil Chance bolt together for a prior to our Hellcats for race built Challenger by Tim Barth. Never got it out of the box!
But it cost 4,000.00

Have you even gotten a package from him? You'd know if you did.
