2021 Redeye Charger Build

[RedEyeRay]

Hello hellcat lovers!!! My name is Ray from Tucson Arizona! I purchased a 2021 charger hellcat redeye smoke show grey in april of 2023. It’s been a solid car and fun to drive so far. Only complaints i have are tons of break dust on the wheels and the oem tires are garbage. I’ll be taking care of those mods shortly as well as a few other things. Also planning on getting the direct connection possibly all the way up to stage 2. This should be a fun mild build. Stay tuned for updates! Here some pics of it! Enjoy! 😉

Welcome! If you want to talk build options that aren’t direct connections let me know. I offer a wide range of different options. From mild to wild!

Just be aware, the OEM brakes are chosen to handle the speeds the car can do. Aftermarket brake pads may produce less dust, but might not perform as well under extreme circumstances.

I do land speed trials, and I use OEM.

For DD duty, the low dust pads cut down on the dust considerably. You’ll definitely feel a difference in the brakes when you swap them though.

Jon has my hellcat running 10.2 in the 1/4 His tunes are awesome also get the trans tune

Brake pads I agree. Keep the stock pads and just clean the rotors. I tried aftermarket pads and after the second run I could no longer take the first turn off, had to use the last turn off.

What do you have done to your cat? 10.2 is moving! I got the z26 pads already I’ll give them a shot, if I don’t like them I’ll swap them back.

Will most likely dd the z26 and track days swap them out real quick. I’ll see how the z26 do first. Thx for the info

Jon's engine and trans tune. Im pushing his 93 tune with boostane. That was running a 3.09 diff and after my 10.2 pass I left the diff on the track. Its had 3 years of abuse so im happy. I have the stock 2.62 back in it now and really don't feel much difference in pull. Ill get it to the track and see if the 2.62 slowed it down.
Also have adjustable rear control arms and cradle lock out. Car is 4640 lbs without me in it. It took alot of track time to get it there. The more you go to the track the faster you will get. Get your traction fixed first, then add power.

I agree if doing something like what you are. 99% of us will not do that.

Welcome from Yuma "neighbor", I see you got the fastest color!

I'm keeping mine relatively stock with just minor cosmetic mods (see signature), at least for as long as the warranty is in effect. With our sun you should definitely consider a legit paint correction and ceramic treatment...I drove all the way out your way just to have System X applied to mine when it was brand new and it's the best money I've spent on it so far and makes it too easy to keep clean and protected from the sun. Same stuff used on aircraft/jets and yachts, not that "Turtle Wax Ceramic Wash" crap you see in AutoZone...

If you want their information, please PM me.

Maybe most of the 99% would be happier if they did!

Awesome thank you! That’s moving! Easy set up too. Can’t wait to see what you do in the future!

Hey neighbor haha. I have a ceramic coat on there now and been keeping up with it with the Adam’s Graphene collection. It’s Been staying flawless. Just with all the rain we been having I have to wash it every week for sure.

So guys I did a couple mods! I went with the new jlt intake and the j&l catch can! Looks good in there. I noticed a light increase in sound and i can hear how much air it’s pulling in. Sounds like it’s flowing a lot more than oem. It also whines a little at idle. As for power I’m not sure yet. We will see at the track how it performs.

Look good! Didn’t know JLT had a wide redeye intake like that
