RE: Shorty headers for 5.7

I went with the JBA shorty headers. Not saying they are the best but for me the price was right. I installed them myself and yes the engine must be raised very slightly to get the motor mounts out. i...

RE: Best Runs with Manual R/Ts?

I was actually considering either changing my rear gear to a 4:10-4:11 (when they decide to make them) or lowering the car and putting on 18s with a low profile tire to help change the gear ratio. I...

RE: R/T kills thread (post your story here)

I will carry over my thread, bigdaddywiz. I have the 09 Challenger R/T with 6 speed, 3.92 with 20s. The only mods I have done are the JBA shorty headers and skip shift eliminator. The "kill" was a...

RE: ADVERTISE the unknown "soldier"

I ve had many offers to trade. The best was a gentleman who caught me off guard at Wawa(convenience store) and offered me to trade keys and pulled out a key ring with several dozen keys. He shot his...

I pulled up to a gas station to fill up and the older attendant says "WOW I haven t seen one of these in years. What year is this?" I replied "an 09" he said Huh? They remade this?" I nodded and he...

RE: 6SPDHEMI vs. WS6

6SPDHEMI vs. WS6

Well I had my first official street race in the Challenger today. I was cruising along on a normal 45 mph road when I heard this car fly past me. It was a WS6 Trans Am and it sounded awesome. I was...

RE: 6-Speed owners

I do believe I saw a side comment in the owner's manual about the danger of downshifting more than 1 gear at a time. Anytime I downshift I allow the shifter to spring back to neautral for a split...

RE: 318 upgrades...and troubles (update)

You should be able to pressure test the trans. Get it warmed up and test it. You can find the pressure chart here http://www.tciauto.com/Products/TechInfo/line_pressure.asp#Torqueflite727904

RE: 318 upgrades...and troubles (update)

The kickdown cable should have nothing to do with the car "neutraling out" Either you have a shift linkage problem or you have an internal trans problem. If you've been driving around and the shift...

RE: 318 upgrades...and troubles (update)

I had the exact same problem with my 73 as soon as I dumped a ton of money into it! The trans needed rebuilding but I found a decent 904 with a shift kit at a swap meet for $200. I threw that in the...

RE: How many have heard

It doesnt help that the car has very little badging on it. Even the 70s Challengers had more nameplates on the fenders and rear. I ve heard the Mustang comment sooo many times now. I don't mind...

RE: Headers

That I am not sure of. You would have to compare prices and power gains. I went with the JBAs because they have the bigger primary tubes (1 3/4) and I went with the ceramic coating which helps reduce...

RE: Headers

If you have the 5.7 the headers will be well worth the money. I just installed my JBA shorty headers and while in the process, looked over the stock exhaust manifolds and they are rather restrictive....

RE: So Which is Quicker?

Has anyone put up any 1/4 mile times for the SRT? I read thru the 1/4 times that 10SecDodge ran in the R/T auto and 13.1 ET is very respectable. My old 73 s best was a 15.0 ET with a slightly worked...
