Post your Chargers horsepower, 0-60, and 1/4 stats

[Sabre]

Just curious to see what the performance stats on your Chargers are.

[Hemidoug]

OK, I'll bite...542@6500RPM on  the engine dyno..  Close to if not 600 now in the car. 0-60 never timed it. 1/4 is waiting for the rest of the car to get dialed in...if I had to guess judging by past experience somewhere in the 11s.....

Turned 12.5s @ 119 MPH with my 71 way back when...the 69 runs MUCH stronger then that did!

[70sixpkrt]

491hp at 5500rpm and still climbing with 535tq. With street tires, 13.01 at 107.93

[Mefirst]

13.000 sec flat with a busted up 440 engine.. The 440 was dynoed 542.5Hp @ 5900Rpm and 555 FpTQ @ 4800Rpm

Later when I opened up the 440 I found 7 piston pins stuck to the rods, al 8 cylinders busted, one intake lobe on the cam missing and about 3 pounds of metall shavings in the oil pan .. Then again try to run 13 sec flat with an equally busted up Chevy/Ford engine, that will never happen...

The 440 engine should have theoretically powered my Charger down the track close to a mid 11sec time... Now I have a Hemi, with that engine I should be able to hit mid to high 10sec 1/4mile time slips

dunno the horsepower or 0-60 but it does the quarter in 12.26 at 113mph

[dkn1997]

don't know my hp either, but ran a best of 13.094 @105.  with really tall hoosier quick times and 3.55 gears. lousy 60 also, over 2 seconds.   anyone guess my hp for me?

[Just 6T9 CHGR]

My best was a 13.55 @ 102   Better traction & I'm sure I could get into the low 13's

[Silver R/T]

mostly stock now except for ignition, intake

[Rolling_Thunder]

The 500 stroker I built for a customer dynoed at 571.9hp and 602.5tq...      Dyno simulated 1/4 mile was 11.09 with a 3.23 rear....     and a 1.34 60 foot   

As for my charger....   no idea...    desktop dyno spid out ~520hp and ~560tq...    we'll see....

[Brock Samson]

mostly stock now except for ignition, intake

  just what question did that answer Silver?.. 

[firefighter3931]

You have the power to run high 12's....102mph is 12.80-12.90 range but the 60ft times are hurting the elapsed times.

Kevin, do you have a raceweight for your car ? Driver + car = raceweight. 


Ron

[firefighter3931]

dunno the horsepower or 0-60 but it does the quarter in 12.26 at 113mph

Jon, what's the raceweight ?

Ron

dunno what the weight is either 

but the only weight saving on the car over stock is ally heads and intake
I know i'd be in the elevens if my 60's were any good...best is a 1.86

[RECHRGD]

13.5's @105mph was my best w/ a 4000lb car/driver--3:55's--727 w/TG-2 kit--28" street radials--mild 440 w/e-brock RPM, Hooker Comp. 1 7/8' headers, Holley 750 DP, Mallory Unilite ignition,  TRW Flattops, Erson 101 cam, Motorhome converter (about 300 rpm over stock).  Lousy 60 foot times of 2.2 &2.3's.  I'm hoping to add some more HP over the winter and a better converter.  When I had a chassis dyno done, it only came up with 270 RWHP.  The next morning I ran the 105 mph!  I would guess the MPH would indicate much more HP than what the dyno did. It was 100+ degrees during the dyno and about 75 degrees at the track, so that must have played into it.  Bob

[TK73]

16.5s with my 318...  anybody impressed?   

[Plumcrazy]

0-20   1.12 seconds
0-30   2.05 seconds
0-40   3.07 seconds
0-50   4.32 seconds
0-60   5.93 seconds

2.10 60 ft
1/8th mile   9.25 @ 76.3 mph

All times are with street tires and the exhaust hooked up.

Ron

Ron, I don't really know that, but I am guessing about 3800-4000.  stock 68 charger with no steps taken to shave weight, iron 440 block/heads.  the only lightweight items in the car are the aluminum waterpump and radiator.  registration says 3330lbs, but that was with small block.  I am thinking I added probably 200lbs with the motor swap and add 225lbs for me.

Ron

Thanks Ron I know traction is a big part.  More seat time will net me better 60ft times.   My 60ft on that run was a 2.095.   I really have to feather the car off the line.  If I bury the pedal I go up in smoke real fast.  Rolling out & then nailing it netted me that time

[Runner]

not a charger buttt
   71 roadrunner 11.35@119mph 452 lowdeck-727 no idea on the hp but if i was to guess under 500 at the flywheel   race weight is 3800 pounds with me in it
   68 ply satellite 3.23 gears 383-727 race weight is very close to 3700 pounds with me in it  ran 13.80 @102 mph  again id guess around 300 hp at the flywheel


heres a dencent calculator that i think is fairly acurate   http://www.slowgt.com/Calc1.htm#HpWtSpd

Mike, whenever i see those numbers from your car i'm allways impressed....it runs hard for being such a basic combo. 

The Moroso slide is showing ~510hp for 3800@119 mph. Your online calculator is slightly conservative (compared to the Moroso slide) at 493hp. They're both probably pretty close to the real hp number, inmo.

500 ci. Dynoed @ 650hp@5600rpm. 60ft. best 1.49. 1/4 best 10.75 @ 126.06.

well mine is ripping the tires off the car sitting in the driveway unable to start

thanks ron,     i really need to buy a moroso slide.

You're welcome Mike ! 

The Moroso slide rule is a neat tool and seems to be pretty accurate if the combo is well sorted out....which your's is. 

The HP vs ET #'s seem to correlate very well with Dwaynes dyno, so based on the weight and trap speed it's safe to say you would be making right at 500 if not slightly more on his Superflo. 




Ron

[RD]

well, my current charger is zip, but my old 71, which i still have but is now just collecting dust, was:

12.17 at 109 mph, 1.77 60 ft

440, 11.5 to 1, dual quad tunnel ram w/two 600 eddy's, 509 purple cam, 4.56 gears

[Mefirst]

I played around with a Dyno program, not that I'm convinced the program tells the whole truth. Anyways, the dyno program claimed that my Hemi should be good for 720HP at the crank... That would result a theoretical 1/4mile time slip around 10.2 sec and a 1/4 mile trap speed at about 130Mph Remains to be proven.... Ill be happy if I can get a timslip thats under 11sec...

Man, some of ya'all have some quick cars!  My fat 67 has run a best of 14.10 at 98.5 with a 383 automatic.

[gordo1968charger]

16.5s with my 318...  anybody impressed?   

yeah,my 383 did it in 17 seconds.

   my 383 roadrunner ran alot of 17 second passes, i even lost a street race to a converstion van back in those days.......

[Moparer]

My charger runs 15.9  @ 86 mph with a 383 & a 727 auto trans

my charger ran 17s with the 383...a simple switch to a carter street/strip mechanical fuel pump dropped it right down to the 14s 

[konigcharger]

best guess 330 sec @ 4mph





if I got a running start   

[dc69383]

The best my 383/auto w/3.55's did....14.7@93 at E.town

[i c e b l u e]

[moparlulu]

Well its been a long time since I have posted here. But I have been tinkering on momma's Charger, so far with the 361 Its ran a best 1/4 of 11.21 @ 119.55, Best 1/8 has been a 7.13 @ 96.75, 3.91, auto  1350x28- QTP,  mufflered, full interior, 3840lbs  with her in it and a 1/2 tank of gas.

[morepower]

68 charger, the best was 13.7, 2.2 60 ft at 100.something 440 dont know the horsepower...i havnt driven the car in over 2 years now, wow i miss her.

[440charger68]

68 Charger 318, 0-60 in 8 seconds, oh yea. Pull quarter mile times in low 17's. Just kidding never looked in to what my car can do. But if i did thats what it would probably be. Just because i have a charger everyone thinks i can do fast burnouts, but not all charger are powerful.
But once i put my 440 in, i'll be roastin tires everywhere.

[daytonalo]

Would be nice to know gear ratio from posts ! I just sold my 472 hemi , now building a 528 -11-1 alum head Hemi , should be 700 hp , what should it run in the  1/4 with a tremic 5 speed and 355 gear ?11's

[68charger383]

I just had my 383/727 with 323s in the dyno, it came back with only 225 RWHP.

Anyone know what the HP at the flywheel and estimated 1/4 would be? I guess car with driver would be about 3,800 lbs.

I was planning on going to the strip for a few passes, but I think that would be a 14-15 second pass with that HP score at my best.

[Rolling_Thunder]

[moparjohn]

This past spring I ran for the first time, 14.39 @96 MPH.  383 4BBL 727ato, 3.23's

[mally69]

Hey keepat,,    i noticed that your car doesnt have an 8 point bar or a roll cage ( at least i couldnt see if there was one)  but just curious does the car handle the torque of that motor pretty good ?  is there a lot of twist on the body??

No roll cage all stock inside and with street tires theres no bite! That will change next spring with some 10" slicks as for the body twist it should be OK with a automatic trans.

'68 charger 383
  not sure what the HP is
60 ft-  2.34
330 ft- 6.33
1/8 ET- 9.58 @75.59 mph
1000 ft ET12.26 @84.48 mph


BUT, I couldn't do a burnout because I later found the passenger side E- brake cable was stuck so when i tried to hold the brake to do the burnout the brales held really well. also my distributer wasn't tightened down and it moved by the time i got to the top end it was cutting out   

[Streetwize]

I was hoping to find out before the cold weather hit, the 517 Low Deck with 12:1 a big roller and 380cfm Chapamn CNC heads,and a 1000cfm Pro-systems carb it should make an easy 710 or more at the crank.

With a 2300 stall 446, it went 12.30's @ 111, I know I've got well more than enough HP to go 10's we'll see if she can hook with the 9 1/2" PTC about 4300 flash and the 3.54 dana.
