Stock 08'R/T R 1/4 mi. times????

[Pappa John]

Guys,
Being a newbie to drag racing with my 08 Magnum, I was wondering if anyone could give me a ball park number of what my R/T road and track Magnum might run on the first pass??? I haven't raced since the mid 70s and that was with an old Chevelle and it wasn't really set up to race. Now that I'm 50 and my reflexes aren't what they used to be I don't have a clue what this car will run...Any suggestions on how to approach this? Thanks, PappaJohn

14.0 to 14.2

get the car cool.
look up 25cent fan mod in the knowledge base...easy and quick way to keep the car cool.
Drive AROUND the water box
stop, when they give you the thumbs up, spin the tires quick just to clean them.
power brake to 1500 on stock tires and launch when you see the third yellow.

Drop rear tire pressure to 25lbs or so and take fronts up to 45lbs or so.

Breathe.

turn ESP off, heaters off, etc....
Drive in Drive (don't autostick).
