It is. Hemituner and True Street FTW.

Thanks a bunch, Gents! The car has never been so well buttoned up and tidy. No fluid leaks all over like I used to have. The new turbo kit is a huge step up in design and the ability to hold boost levels. Fun. OK....she's built...what did she do? A.J. met me in Bowling Green for the first combined ChallengerFest (#7) and MSHS. Super cool. Got to visit with good friends from each of the events and that allowed for two track days. The first day was about ironing out the items you find once you hit a track. First pass was on springs at 2-3psi and to say boring is an understatement but it let us know the car was generally solid and provided data. We had an issue at the line and I kept rolling through the transbrake so we had to figure that out. After two passes it started to hail so the track was shut down... Can't make that up. Here is my second and last pass of the first day due to the hail (car #84). This might be one of my favorite slips as it's pure comedy. I rolled through the transbrake and tripped the timer...after trying to figure out what was going on I mat the pedal. Nothing like a 3.4 second 60ft at 140mph Of course I had John Lewis and that mean arse car of his in the lane next to me. He probably finished before I started...LMAO So now we know she's making power, but we still had some tweaks to get her off the line properly and adj's to the race tune with the data. Saturday comes and its better conditions once the track warmed up. First pass the transbrake doesn't take but we figure out the issue. Following are my next four passes in order. A.J. tweaked the tune a few times and kept it conservative. With each pass we raised the boost level a little as we grew more confident with the setup and I even hot lapped the car with zero cooling issues. Never left with more than 2psi of boost at the line. I'll play with that later to get the 60ft where it should be. On this last pass we decide to see if we could find a 9.1 sec pass and raised the boost ramp rate aggressively. The tires break at the 60ft or so and it made for a fun pass... My good friends Malena (Speedy's lovely wife) and John Burleson shot these vids of the last pass. This second one from Burleson has a some colorful commentary from our own John Lewis so be careful if you're at the office... HS
