HEY

Remember that one time when I drove my ramp truck carrying the Demon 6,000+ miles round trip to Nashville, Tennessee to challenge Uncle Tony and Slaghammer to an 1/8th mile drag race? Well, my snapped axle shaft remembers. So today, I've fixed everything that went wrong with the Demon at Ethridge, and I'm ready to give it another shot. But I'm not ready to drive 6,000 miles again just yet. Instead, let's find a slightly easier way to learn who would win in a real world rematch. For my part, the car is exactly the same as it was for our race, except one teeny tiny change in the rear gearing department... I could be wrong, but I think with this one change and all of the hard earned lessons from the trip, the Demon is about to go faster than it ever has with me at the wheel.

[@JustMoparJoe]

Congrats. I liked to see you beat that Newer LS Camaro in the second run. Every time an LS is beaten by old Mopar Iron, an angel gets its wings.

[@TheRolfano]

Or at least a car that won’t brake before it’s raced lol

[@clembob8004]

Ok, just a few tips: 1. Diet. McDonalds hurts ETs. 2. Haircut and beard trim. Also helps ETs. 3. Tinkle before racing. Weight is the enemy. 4. Don't suck seed before racing. Again, weight. 5. Most importantly, get a round shift knob, power shifts are easier than with the T handle. At least that's what the rumor mill says. Very good times though, that thing really launches hard and sounds badass. 4.89 gears are great.

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

You’re right on all points. Haha. Factory round knob is where I’m going next.

Jamie I loved it that 2nd run was epic with that Camaro falling back every gear change the suspension looks like it’s on point. The motor sounds great with the 488s it just keeps in its power band omg how I wish you could have done that in Tennessee. It’s gonna keep getting better and better the more seat time you get. So frickin awesome Jamie I’m so pumped for ya.

[@timmcooper294]

Warms my heart to see you pull that LS Camaro with the pimp rims, and I'm a huge LS fan (actually , I'm a big fan of many different engines, many Mopars included!) I'm a gearhead from the old school, and I even liked electric vehicles way prior to the current madness, but they can never match the feel of a great running engine with a manual trans..... Nice job 👍👍

So chuffed for you after all your dedication - very jealous 🤩

[@Rob-db4cc]

Awesome car, love the old Demons! Car has 12.30-12.40 MPH in the 1/8th. Launch with more RPM, clamp the front segments of rear springs and get better rear shocks to control the axle. A good 60' should be in the 1.75 area and a 7.70-7.80 1/8 mile et. Front end moves OK (better shocks to limit coming back down), the car is porpoising a little, loading unloading (shocks/air pressure may help), watch the side shot slow mo and slow it down on youtube to .25 speed. 😀 Not enough wheel speed in 1st gear for burnouts. You got slicks, try more air pressure. Roll through the water, just to the other side, lock it down, 2nd gear drop the hammer and get on the brakes (if no line lock) and make some smoke. Drag radials - your burnout might be OK, I don't think you have drag radials from the looks of the tire. Raise your launch rpm 250 each time until you blow the tires off it, find the spot where it doesn't let the bog happen. 4 speeds can be hard on parts lots of times. Find the combo of more air in the rear tire (run as much as you can and still hook), launch RPM and fresh burnout procedure. Good outing, NOTHING BROKE!

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

The springs are clamped. I watched the slowmos. I meant to try 2nd gear. With the 4.10s it just slipped the old clutch so I stuck with first. No, I’m not getting smoke, but in first on the burnout, the car is pushing through the brakes - which I am standing on. It did the same thing with drag radials. And seeing the lack of spin, for what I was doing I felt good about it. I’m not blowing the tires off (like I did with drag radials.) I am going to raise the launch RPM and find the tire blowing point. Haha. Yeah, I think that’s where we’re headed. I know what to do. Thanks.

[@louislepage5111]

Congratulations, looks like you got it all sorted out 😊

[@ccpgmike620]

I particularly appreciate you taking on the challenge of mastering a manual transmission at the drags. Not everyone is born shifting a 4 speed like Ronnie Sox. Back in the day there were arguments about sticking with a three speed because there were the straight back straight forward shifters available to avoid that ‘across the gate’ shift

[@DeadDodgeGarage]

I considered a three speed for my Barracuda, but everyone says the ratios are terrible. Thanks! This is what I want to do. The reviews are getting better. Haha.
