Hey whats up dudes! Just discovered this site! Very cool, wish I had the money for a new Challenger maybe someday get a good used one. I just finished this and am broke. Great to be here. This car will be ina local challenger commercial this summer 07.

[IMG]local://upfiles/522/94A4AC306A8F472FA58589DCCD83D0C9.jpg[/IMG] I would love to run a new Challenger 6.1 Hemi/manual against my vintage car both in drag racing 1/4 mile, and on a road race course. I know I would probably be slaughtered but I think it would be a lot of fun and very interesting. My car is "bombed" pretty good in the engine/transmission area also the suspension/chassis is as well. The new Challenger is incredible and I want one BAD!!

 

Hey thats weird, How did you guys know I was an slant six,(previous),owner? Yeah I drove the indestructible tower of power for years in the seventies! Yes I am old!

 

haha!

some sites have titles such as newibie...first gear member..second gear member..etc. instead, we use engine sizes of the challenger...

 

Cool, 1badmirada, hey you and your miradas were in mopar muscle magazine and ran one of them bad boys all the way into the 11s! I dont remeber his name but he was fired from his regular job for attending. He told his boss,"MoPar or NO CAR" Im going" then was fired. U that dude?

 

Welcome to the site, airfueleddie! Your Challenger looks very nice. So have you done anything to up the power on the Challenger?

 

Yes, I have but mostly durability enhacements such as Eddies heads which are basically aluminum copies of the 452/906 iron heads with durability enhacements like bronze guides,hardened seats,stainless valves ect..then a complete comp. cams k-kit and comp pro-mag roller rockers which are steel.Ross forged pistons/pins,,Manley rods,speed-pro ductile/moly rings.10.5 comp.ratio with 296/512 lift hyd. cam, and comp.929 dual springs. The engine made 538 h.p. 550 Torque. The engine was built by Matt Hensley and the transmission A-833 18-spline, built by Herb McCandless. Thanks for the nice compliment!

 

Also, RLSH700, I forgot to tell you. The Challenger is currently being"modded" with PRO-MAX billet metering blocks for the outboard carbs,(its a sixpack),,this includes the whole shomoly which is the billet metering blocks,rear billet base plate, Holley jets and blue gaskets. I had a stumble going to WOT but that is to be expected cosidering the increase in airflow both in the heads and the exhaust which I went with a complete TTI 1 7/8 Ceramic thermal barrier headers into a full 3 inch system all jet hot coated, that "little project" costs me 2800.00! So I need to richen the transition, the pro-max allows a holley jet instead of drilling and figuring and the rear carb doesnt need to be removed! It will go on the Mustang Chassis Dyno some time this week or next, I cant wait and hope to get it on the road at least once before winter comes and I will put it up for good!

 

Whoa! And you did that with which engine?

 

The original numbers matching engine. What else would I use?

 

Am I misunderstanding you, or are you saying you got that out of a slant six?
