Like, I never realized it after several years that they have been out and from owning one since 2017. But guess what pal, they also typically put down well over 600 RWHP bone stock with some having been as high as 680+. So making approx 200+ more than a bolt on SS to the wheels kinda makes up for the extra weight and then some. So bone stock, it should not be trapping the same as a SS unless either it got terribly heat soaked or the driver didn't know what the Hell he was doing or something is wrong with that particular HC. It's not a $70+ car with over 700 HP just to keep up with the SS bro. The SRT8 will keep up with a SS mod for mod and trans for trans. So there is no way in Hell that adding an extra 400 HP is going to make it slower. Do you understand or not?
The only way to know for sure what went wrong is to see a slip. And yes, for a HC to trap the same as a bolt on SS same track same day same temps and auto to auto, something went wrong. Don't go thinking your SS will match a HC in trap speed or top end because there are plenty of ways you can find out just how wrong you are.

Of course I have a slip for my SS running 122 trap speed on street tires. Below will be a pic of drag tires and street tires, timeslips for my partial bolt on SS. Since guys will wonder, the other car on the street tire run was a Coyote Mustang A6 with front skinnies and R888Rs on the back. Other car on drag tire run was a Veloster (I think it was anyway). Like I said before, 122 was like the Hellcats have been running here on street tires, remember that I certainly did not say I had raced a stock Hellcat on this pass.
As far as the bolt-on SS only matching the stock Hellcat in 1/4 mile trap speed if something went wrong with the Hellcat, that would mean ALL of the Hellcats on street tires, and I've seen PLENTY of them on the dragstrip, have something wrong. You are either guessing wrong on the high side for stock Hellcat trap speed, guessing wrong on the low side for bolt on SS trap speed in the 1/4 mile, or some combination of that. There are guys with bolt on SS that have done 127 or more trap speed, they really are faster on the dragstrip than you want to admit.
