Stock A10 ZL1s 60ft question
Is it difficult getting a stock power A10 ZL1 with just a drag radial in the 1.5 60ft range at the drag strip? I know stock A8 Hellcats have gotten 1.5 60fts with just a drag radial setup but curious to know if stock A10 ZL1s can do that as well or does the " Torque management" restrict them to do so?
What's the best 60fts stock A10 ZL1s are able to achieve with just a drag radial setup on the drag strip? |

My Hellcat is bone stock and automatic. I only have 17” MT drag radials and have consistently gotten 1.5 60 foots. Good DA and weather has helped for sure. I’m sure stock A10 ZL1s on a tire can get there as well. Stock A10 ZL1’s seem to average 1.6-1.7 60 foot range from what I’ve seen but I’m sure a lower 60 foot is possible since they are as quick as the Cat in a straight line unless this “TM” holds them back from launching as hard.

torque management is the killer with stock TCU settings. Most with perfect traction struggle to get 1.70s with a few high 1.6's noted. The car has the power to do better but the self preservation built into GM's programming is restricting 100% at launch. The tranny also short shifts 1-2 and it is difficult if not impossible to use the paddles to improve.

I've installed a tunable TCM on mine and am working on a 2nd gear launch tune that should produce 60 ft. in the 1.40-1.50 range, based on what I see others running. We'll see in April.

First time out at Gainesville, with 17” MT ET’s @ 18psi 2000 DA, ran 1.66 60’. Need to play with pressure, burn out, suspension setting etc. Forgot I had in sport mode not tour, with nannie’s off. Car was heat soaked too, pulling time at top end.
