PLEASE dont paint those stripes on the red one!

Oooooo Plum crazy duster, very nice! We used to run with this Blue Duster with a scoop likes yours all the time that had a Big block. Can't remember the year of it now though, had pink decals on the scoop?

Here's some other ones I did up, trying to get a race car feel but I SUCK at creative stripes, opinions?



And for Speedy Mopars, here's the first "Car" I've raced on a track


And another one in the stall, you might like the Airbrush on the side lol, both Dusters are my Fathers

I don't like the top one, the next one down is better. BUT I suck at schemes - That's why my car is un striped - I can't figure out what to do!

I like your dads. What dragway is that?

That's at Barona, used to run Carlsbad when it was open. I don't have half the pictures of his other Mopars. He has a targeted 9 second '70 Roadrunner he's been wanting to finish, just needs some PLexiglass. 14:1 with big roller cam, 0.060 over 440, supposively a low cubic inch sleeper.

The second one down is starting to grow on me.

Is he still looking for a cam? I have a Crane solid roller in the garage with 50 miles on it - it was too mellow for me so I stepped it up quite a bit, but it should be able to hit the 9's.

No thanks on the cam, just like I bet you do, he has a boo-koo amount of cams, heads, blocks, parts, and part cars lol.

The second picture, I was looking at the newer Pro-stock cars for what they run. But it was a red car so I have to work with it.

Yea, the stroker boat engine was built with spare parts. I had to buy the cam, pistons, and gaskets, but everything else was already there :-)

Now I'm trying to sell off stuff 'cause I need the room. If I ever decide to get serious about boats, Maybe I'll run that cam in something. It's a good cam, just not big enough for my cars.

Red with black always looks good.

YEAH -- Mother Mopar is expected to introduce a 6.4L with more than 500 HP in the 2010 Challengers.  I think Hot Rod did a Comp cam and exhaust system swap and found somewhere around 75 ponies but don't quote me on that last part.  AND THE BEST PART IS  Chrysler will be offering a Pro Stocker just like the good ol days.  800 lbs lighter, composite hood w/ BIG scoop, drop out cross member, special seats for 6 point harnesses, special drag racing breaks.  Woo - Hoooo!!!

Sorry bout that folks, talking Mopar horsepower makes me really horny.  Don't stress on the paint. Its going on a Dodge, red orange pink green yellow Dodge makes all colors look great. 

I guess I'll re-phrase that..... Do you guys know anyone who has done work on them or does work regularly? I understand they're real powerhouses, kinda shitty the tranny wont stand up to a bunch of power.

I think Shady dell speed shop does

If Chrylser actually comes out with a car like that, I'll sign up right away. The new Challengers are frickin 4300lbs, and that is just too heavy for me to make it fast for cheap $$$

Mine's due for a fluid change. From what I understand the new Hemi transmission (545RFE) is good in stock form with stock power. When you throw a supercharger or something on there to get you up to 500HP+ supposedly they get ripped to shreds no matter how built up they are. To their credit the only way these guys seem to have been able to tear them up is if they leave overdrive on, from what I've been reading the overdrive unit is the weak link.

My best friend owns a little company called DiabloSport. His 300 SRT8 is pumping out 618 HP to the rear wheels. As far as the new challenger - here it is:

That is MUCH lighter looking, something I would be interested in.

Undone, there used to be a Charger rolling around lake havasu with a 6.1. Not sure what all it had done, but it had airbrush on the hood, Supercharged 6.1L, 750hp.

Actually now that I think about it not too long ago, there was an article in Engine Masters Challenger magazine on how to build a 5.7L hemi with some good power

Tony, I'm looking for that article. If you find it, send me a link. I'm starting to look seriously into an extra 100HP out of the hemi. It's just not fast enough.
