quarter mile times

[dodge freak]

I love that car, perfect for the street-just needs a hood, wish they still made them like that.

Thanks, it's got a hood. The damn hood just needs a painter and it'd be back on........

P.S. I have all the trim you see missing also, still need a painter though (one that ain't a FLAKE)

Car looks meaner and tougher every time I see a new pic of it Doug.

BTW, 13.6 @101 440, MP cam, edelbrock intake and carb, street tires, 727. I'm confident I can knock off another .3 sec. at least.

I'm sorry I'm drawing a blank on the exact cam specs. All I can tell you now is its a MP purple cam mechanical flat tappet cam. But the intake and carb are the Edelbrock Performer RPM and a 750 cfm.

Thanks, I think my carb is too small 600 CFM eddy perf.

That's with 5/16 fuel line. I'll be uppgrading to 3/8 next year hopefully and a new fuel pump.

Thank Ghoste, I stll hope to make it over to Canada and run with you guys this summer.

[Ghoste]

I'll be sure to re-extend the invitation any time we are heading out.  Nothing is planned for the immediate future.  A couple of the guys went out two weekends ago but I had family obligations and had to pass.

What say we bump this subject?  Surely there are others driving their cars as they were built to be driven, with a couple of years worth of technology updates.  I've just mounted some ET Street radials on my car after going to the local 1/8 mile track and, regardless of how I left the line, spun the tires for a good portion of the strip to the days' best of 8.54 at 85 mph.  This was while testing out my first 727 rebuild...it's working OK so far.  Car ran a best of 13.049 at 107 on the quarter at Monster Mopar September 2008, but that was with the #6 intake cam lobe mostly gone, so that should pick up next time I hit the quarter.  This is through stock exhaust manifolds with 3" TTI pipes and Dynomax mufflers, 3900+ pound car, with 3.23 gears.
If anyone has experience with ET Street radial pressures with a similar car, let me know. Thanks Jerry

Hoping for 12's with mine. Its going for paint in April, Cope is going to be building a 904 for me, and hope to maybe have track times in the Fall.

[Ghoste]

Based on the dragstrip experiences since the last time this thread was current I'd just be happy to not break something for a change.

[aifilaw]

My best time in the charger was a 12.26, dont' remember the trap speed, 4400 Lbs with me in it, back when it had a 383 with a 440 crank (430c.i.) making around 450 hp and 500+ ft lbs of torque at 13.5:1 static CR, on drag radials with ladder bars and no pinion snubber, 727 and 3.55's

[Beer]

My Back up plan on the spare intake if my times suck...I will be on DR's as well





Gonna start plumbing it soon 

Thinkin low 11's with the DPort and a 150-200 shot.

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

My personal best so far with my Charger was 13.55 @ 103mph on street radials.  This was at the F.A.S.T. race in Englishtown, NJ on 11/06.   This was with a 2.0 60' time.

I havent been back to the track since   Love to try & get there again this year

Awesome picture, and it would make a great poster.  loving those dice!!!

ha thanks Mike....if you look close you can see Sponge Bob hanging on for dear life as well

PS---would have been a better pic if the track guy was a little more excited at my launching technique...

[73 charger]

Ran 13.783 1/4 mile at 101.5  mph Budd's Creek.  Firts few race days car was bogging at 80mph....changed fuel system....went from 5/16 to 3/8 stainless steel (ss) fuel line, pick up, and tank.  Added new j-bolts and ss straps.  Could not find new or nos fuel vapor seperator.  Still have charcoal cannister for 1/4 vapor line in engine compartment.   Engine temp was 190 during racing.   Best times were when the engine was cooler.  Have been looking for cold air induction....think I have decided on a hood scoop.   Need to get done before Aug when Big blue goes in for final painting.

Thanks

  i don't get why you want to go the 904 route?.. i did a 727 conversion on my built 318 and it was a great improvment. 

[c00nhunterjoe]

mine has been mid 12's but the only thing i have on video for proof is a 13.21 @104. thats with a blown tranny and 225/70/15 street tires.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=te8dfDlOITo&feature=channel_page

at the time specs were-
383
11:1, racer brown .510- 292 hydraulic, stock heads, torker single plane intake, 750 dp, 1 3/4 headers to 3 inch flowmasters and no tailpipes. stock fuel system with  the exception of a 16 gallon cell in the trunk. wore out 727 on a 10 inch 3000 stall converter. 489 case with 2.94's

The 904 has less parasitic drag than the 727 for when you need that little bit more.

11.64 @ 119MPH in the Charger
10.26 @ 130MPH in the Belvedere

Buddy, you just need some M/T redline drag radials... 

[70sixpkrt]

13.01 @107.93 with 295/50/15 BFG street tires spinning down the track. 60' time was a big 2.080.

Ricky, the Moroso Speed Calculator shows 108mph is good for low 12's. Once you get the chassis working proprly and get the car to 60ft....the ET's will drop.

Ron, I will be happy with a 12.50 time slip.
