    Hellcat Road Racing 1970 Challenger Tune HELP!

    Hey Everyone, new guy here, I've got a very unique car and usage, which means I've got lots of my own issues as well.
    I haven't had my car run correctly since I put it together, and from what I've learned talking to a few non-hellcat tuners, they believe my tune is to blame.

    A local, well respected shop did it, but again, My car is an odd duck; I road race/time attack it, and his customers are drag racers. With his tune the car runs fine on the dyno or street, barely runs on the racetrack with dead pedal issues and the car sounding "off" and not pulling like it should.

    I've used this forum to help me tweak the tune trackside, with some success, car seems to run better.

    Would anyone be willing to peak at my log file and my tune and give pointers?? Sitting 4th in class, I know I could still get on the podium if the car runs properly for a whole lap!

    Setup is:
    1970 Dodge Challenger
    Tranzilla Tremec T56, Mantic Triple Disc Clutch
    Mopar Hellcrate ECU/Harness
    Junkyard Hellcat 6.2 and 2.4 IHI
    SDG Motorsports Supercharger W/ported snout
    2.85 Upper, ATI 10% lower
    1300 Injectors
    Dual 525 hellcat pumps, PWM Via Tapped harness
    Large LTR
    Peterson Dry Sump Oil pump and system
    Headers


    Thanks in advance anyone willing to HELP MEEEEEE!
    I am NOT a tuner so I'm way over my head here.
    EDIT: Worth Noting this log file is after I made more tune changes, AND is a street log, not an on-track log as I'm trying to get the car to run better before my next session. I will log and post my next on track laps. I did not experience any dead pedal/weird running issues on this log, fingers crossed maybe the tune is better, or if history repeats itself the car will run poorly on the track again.

    You should post the tune file in its current form. Neither are really useful if 1; the tune file is not what it's currently running on and 2; the data log does not show any of the running conditions you're talking about.

    Which track do run @? ,
    You?re odd duck is not that odd, there?s a few nuts out there doing what you?re doing, I have two local guys doing pa street hill climb, a customer who runs a AAR cuda replica at rd Alanta , a lime rock nut with a 65 cuda and a 70 challenger , I have a 72 d100 with a big hell kitty that I do pa hill climb with.

    Do you have a single lap log? Need the tune you have now, what gears are you running?
    I?ve been running dailey?s dry sump in both my 8 second drag truck and the d100 hill climber, peterson?s system is top notch
