Thats just what I've seen so far.
Exactly what I have seen, time and again

I get that impression from visiting their forum. Nice people though. Older folks. Occasional ace driver.

Well I am no genius at the track either....

Yep you get a few guys that mod the car right. One guy with the 392 super ran high 11s with just a tune and tire.

Ya but I have seen the 392s at Bradenton run mid to high 13s with tire and bolt on's its just hard to get those heavy cars to launch right, you get the right driver and they can run.

I've never seen those things wheelhop. The V1 suffers from some of the worst wheelhop I've seen. I think everyones biggest issue with a heavy car off the line is traction.

I've never driven one, but the dodge club that was out was complaining about wheel hop might have been the track I don't know.

Heads are a bolt-on in the LSx world. And if replacing 241 with 243s it is still stock!!

lol wow challenger is a much nicer car for a DD over the 5.0. If anything I would upgrade to a 392 before I would do a 5.0 again.
