There was a guy that got in the 10's with drag radials. Are you properly warming up the tires beforehand?

What were your 1/4 mile times?

The Nitto NT555R 305 should work good on the Hellcat.

Do you have any vids from the races other than those burnouts?

Did you check your tire pressure to make sure they are not over inflated?

Try lowering them down to 20psi. Depending on the track and temp I've seen guys run them as low as 17 or 18psi.

I agree with HellcatFan tire pressure is way too high.

I would agree anything in the 7's are good numbers.
