I personally think slaghammer is a cool, unique car. Has a lot of yesteryear in it. One of a kind that's for sure. I have a weakness for the Dodge Demons. Had one when I was 16. DDG has a beautiful car.

I like these call-outs on youtube, because you get to see the builds and actual race on video. Youtube has lots of communities, just like FABO is a community. You get to know the members, their character, etc no matter where they are from. And it's amazing how much they (we) talk, email, and...

Exactly. I'm just sharing what I've been doing for years. Extension of the hobby as I put it.

This is aside from the race, but UTG has said more than once it's a business and his lively hood. He cannot put 25k into a channel car or he'd go upside down. He has to do things cost effective, meaning the videos pay more than he is putting into the projects, plus pay rent for the shop...

well, I seriously doubt either of the two are interested in "going rounds" bracket racing. I think DDG was on a "tour" and heading to a mopar show anyways if I understand correctly. Stopping by to race UTG was just for grins and giggles. I doubt there was pride or money on the line.. maybe...

Moparmega said the UTG car was slow. I said both cars underachieved ET wise

it was good enough to win the race/challenge. Don't just pick on Tony.... a hopped up 360 like that in a A-body running 9's isn't so story telling would ya say ?? Neither car overachieved but the fun was in the race (or supposed to be), not the times they turned.

Slaghammer - girggled for about 200 ft and ran a 8.60 in the race. DDG - Ran a best of 9.04 during his 2 trial passes before breaking on the official race run

That Demon is a swwweeet car!

and I care about that???? LOL :lol:

You can hear slaghammer was struggling to move the first 300 ft. It wouldn't have taken much to take him on that run. IF DDG would have rode the clutch just a little and kept the RPM's up, he'd have probably won even though his first two passes were in the 9's.

^^^^ :lol:^^^^

UTG is now 2-0 against other channels ???? :lol:

You have time... your still here... :poke:

I told you they without interest would return ... Must have more hours in their day than I do. :poke:

It's a race between two A-bodies. 383 BB auto vs 360 SB 4 speed. This is a A-body site and racers forum. It's amazing how many of those not interested are always interested enough to leave a comment to tell us they aren't interested as if anyone is interested in their disinterest. :D...

One time, heads up....

Nice! Subscribed!

I think he said they all have blocks to fill the bill..... he didn't say factory stroke crank and block :)

360 with a 4" crank (stroker) is a square engine. 4 " x 4"

Thank you. It's just as of now (and I have no idea how long) just about all our time has been diverted due to unfortunate circumstances. It will work itself out eventually.

We have had a sudden circumstance that was out of our control pop up and I'm afraid it looks as if cars will take a back seat for a minute or three.

a .030 over 6.4 would put it in the scope of this thread....

4.09 x 3.72 ... and the 6.2 Hellcat is a de-stroked 6.4 ... 6.2 - 4.09 x 3.58 .... ironically, the 5.7 is a 3.92/3.58 motor. Basically, a 360 crank in a 318 :)

6.4 is a 392 C.I. There have been some serious HP builds from these engines.

This line ^^ Is this due to piston design/ring placement or piston material or both?

but builders will have their preference, and they'll speak to it :)

I had one of the best engine builders I ever knew, back in my late teens/early twenties, warn me on creating a "shove" into the wall. Now we see massive stroker kits

Also, at what point does the stroke shove the piston into the cylinder wall instead of up the wall?
