So, here's my nitrous 318 Drag Week adventure...
OK, your car should run 13s pretty easy. Here's the skinny on a magnum project I did years ago.
Magnum Powered Dodge Dart
My car was a bit lighter than yours, and had a good transbrake transmission. That said, it didn't have nitrous and went a 12.00 pretty much the first pass down the track. My cam was probably bigger than what you're running.
With a correctly configured nitrous shot, I would say your current car should be in the 12s very easy. This Satellite is a stock 318 with a cam and 4 bbl. It weighs 3680 with me according to the scales at Gateway this week. It weighed 3800 to start in bone stock condition. For chassis mods, the car has an adjustable pinion snubber and a pair of competition engineering 3 way rear shocks. That's it. Most importantly, it has Mickey Thompson ET Radial Pro tires. 60' is everything and these tires help with that a lot.
It probably also helps that I drive it like I don't care if I break it. haha.
I really like these Mallory boxes. Its a Digital Hyfire VI. The best street strip ignition ever made. Worse, its borrowed. :-(
If you don't like racing, they've got Hot Rod Power Tour, which is similar. Better hurry though, I think its only got two years left.
The car is a hurting unit now. I broke the transmission case, and the center section might be hurt as well. #2 cylinder isn't happy - was probably weak to start with and the nitrous didn't do it any favors. The car was pushing oil out the breather on the highway, I think there's a pinched ring on #2. Fortunately, 318s abound for cheap money, so once I get a replacement trans that'll be fixed pretty easily.
I have a 2016 Scat Pack Challenger. I could have taken that, and gone quicker a helluva lot easier, but I just couldn't see the point in doing it the easy way.
