They were held at Quaker City Drag Raceway in Salem, Oh. West of Youngstown. The car was bone stock as far as I know. Didn't open hood to see if there was a CAI. They had everything taken out of the trunk. He was putting trunk liner back in. Had 20" Nittos drag radials mounted on stock SRT wheels.

I saw the car with the hood open...they had a Mopar CAI on it. Other than that it looked stock under the hood.

I watched him run the 13.2x...they were coming out of the hole very soft...too soft IMO. I agree they seemed frustrated, I went up to talk to them but the driver did not want to talk right after he made the pass.

Thank you, nice lady. Good to know they're trying to improve, just like the rest of us...

Nice datalogging topic, toofart!

Maybe the "Engine Load" pid could offer additional information to complement the "Throttle Position" pid? I'm not sure how the throttle-by-wire works into all of this, but I think there is actually a "Throttle Position" and a "Commanded Throttle Position" pid which suggests that there could be a whole different thing going on in the engine than the trace that shows what the throttle pedal is doing (per your right foot).

The whole pid thing is an interesting point for me, because I have been looking around for documentation on available pids for the Challenger (to use with my ScanGauge). I've only been successful programming in a few of the standard obdII pids (and not even all of them appear to be recognized by the ecm). If you know (or know where to find) some good ones of the "undocumented" mode 1 or mode 22 pids for the Challenger, I'm all ears (eyes?)!
