between work, 2 Challengers and a kid in college, been run pretty damn thin, took a huge hiatus, im back with a vengence
ready to get this beast on the road

spent a considerable amount of time, messing with both my Challenger and my wife's, including my son inlaw we not have 3 modern Challengers, all modified, mine dramatically....instant gratification....hard to pass that up

Dude, you're building a friggin NASCAR engine! With an induction system like that, turbos are kinda overkill, no? You may end up with a total monster on your hands!

yes, this is basically a cup engine of a couple of years ago, 4.10 stroke, scat crank, rods, custom je pistons, 447 cid, havent decided whether we go blow thru carburator or fuel injection, we are shooting for a very conservative 1200 hps, at less than 7k

we want to make sure this car pulls in 6th gear

Luke
 
Go fuel injection. Way more tuneable. Better datalogging for keeping an eye on things.
 
getting ready for hopefully a final mock up, also will be building a new set of hedders, ordered the flanges and collectors from Shoenfeld, should be here ealry next week

1800.00 versus another 5k......hummm, depends on funds, the youngen is costing us 22k a year right now, thats hurting my sock account badly

currently at 38k on this project, but whos counting

Luke

ps estimate after final assembly, between 60 to 80k
 
by the way App state plays a huge game against Wofford today, could decide the southern conference.....
kind of partial since thats where my baby goes to school

Luke
 
Liked your facebook page and I am loving this build. So what's up with the headers? Did you ever build another set?
 
I can smell 1100hps, a buddy with a similar set up, one turbo, blow thru carburetor made 1050 without even trying,
Twin screws, fuel injection, most likely coil on plug and we are trying to go really fast, lol
Luke
 
Killer man,
What happened to I want a street car with inner fenders?
 
Compromise and more compromise, running the intake boost feed inside the car, no other choice, can't make it fit any other way
Luke
 
Building the tunnel that will accommodate the turbos pressure feed to the engine
