Sounds like there's a shortage of Driver mods in that area there Ohio (unless the DA is ridiculous?)... 14.5... who ran that?

 

The 5.0 and SS both ram those times. DA was around 2600 when they was running. Worse was 3400 at begining of night but they wasn't there. The 300SRT ran best of 13.20 at end night in the Mopar shoot out. He lost in the finals to a Cuda running low 11's. Driver for sure another 5.0 ran best of 12.8 stock and another SS which sounded stock ran best of 12.9. Another 5.0 with cold air and tune atleast ran a best of 13.5. He was on stock tires but that is his fault I guess.

What funny is they are a mustang club called DEAD PONIEZ. I am in a different club. THey seen me and came revving there engines all basically one by one. Then after I ran my 10.78 I slowed down by the and revved and yelled when you going to run your slow as cars. None them ran again. Supposly they have a Fox body with a 408 in it and spraying that runs lower 11's. He revved his engine and it sounded good but wouldn't run it after I ran.

 

we have the same name lol.

 

Is there anyone running the new hemis in a purpose built drag car? Also, using forged internals, which block is strongest and how power will it reliably hold?

 

Damn, i figure that in Dallas i would pick up nearly half a second in better air. Best DA i ever had the chance to run in was just above 4k.

Yea i noticed that the other day lol. Great minds think alike! Love the som.

IDK about a tube chassis or rail car (im sure there is someone doing it) but there are more than a handful of gutted rollcaged and subframed LX platform vehicles in the single digits at over 160mph. Off the top of my head i believe that the fastest is currently a charger with a Stage Six (brand) turbo kit in the 8's. There are more and more Jeeps pushing 9's as well.

The most sought after modern HEMI platform i am aware of is Arringtons assembeled and forged 426 stroker for around $15k. Its roughly the equivalent to the LSX minus the aluminum. Supposed to be good to over 1000hp They are currently working on creating an all aluminum 392 for production cars down the road.

 

Oh and im pretty sure that the 8 sec charger is on drag radials but dont quote me there.
