IXLR8,

Yes, you boys are right. The Charger is heavy. However, in it's CLASS, it is a contender -- I think the Chevy Monte Carlo SS is slower, as well as other heavy two or four doors cars emulating the past. Certainly, not a 9, 10 or 11 second car without massive running gear changes, and an engine build up, like you said.

But for a cruiser, a patrol car, or all around decent runner, it's dead on.

Just my two cents.

Reminds me of that old racer adage. "Speed costs money, how fast do you want to go!!??"

Another project running behind schedule. I believe the 6.1 426 stroker is going to hit the road this weekend. I read that with the hardened internals it will take 250hp of nitrous with ease. Hide-n-see.

 

I just dont know.............. for 7 grand GS / will install thier super charger and give you 125 more pomies under the hood and stand behind it for a year. or for 5200 you could wrench it your self in 8 hours....................

 

True but the GSM superchargers have a very big drawback. Our chargers don't rev very high 6000RPM with superchip. With the GSM superchargers you don't see full boost till around 5000RPM so you only see that 400-500HP for 2-4seconds depending on what gear you are in. And to those who say the charger isn't a 1/4mile. Just of the trucks that are monster's in the 1/4mile for not alot of money. Manly the srt-10 ram's and the svt lightning's for only 2k they are deep into the 12's and our own Hemi Ram's are in the high 13's for 2k as well. A 13flat is as simple as a superchip, exhaust, cai, and a 75shot of nitrous.

 

yA IM NOT A FAN OF BIG FORCED INDUCTION ENGINES.THEY JUST DONT HOLD UP TO WELL

I WAS READING THE 6.1 HEAD/INTAKE SWAP TO THE 5.7. IT LOOKS LIKE THE DYNO SHEET READS 360-370RWHP.BUT IT DOESNT STATE IF ITS THE MDS VERSION OR NOT I MAY HAFTA FIND OUT MORE ON THAT ONE

 

6.1 stroker (now a 7.0L) 426 HEMI fires up.

RedFox is taking it to Hennessey's Track in Houston next weekend.

I wish they had some longer clips but here are some short ones of the beast...

Clip 1

Clip 2

Clip 3

 

I can't see the last 2 and I believe that SRT-8 already has 20k miles and they chose that guy cause they want to know how it is as a daily driver since the guy drives like 2,000miles a month.

 

I fixed those links.

RedFox does travel a lot. He's always stopping in town and hitting the track when he has time.

Man those pistons in that block are B I G their freaking huge!
