It is nice.  What size tires are those?

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

oldschool

The difference between the Mopar 337 single plane and the Indy single plane was about 70 hp.  I have no idea what the car will do in the 1/4 except spin all the way down.   :lol: this is the chassis dyno for the car. it made 707hp 640tq at the wheels :drive:

Hahaha I don't dought that for a second :)
I haven't yet put the motor in but concerned bout Clarence to the hood
Iv got the Indy single plane with quick fuel carb not sure what air cleaner to
Run? Any ideas :)

oldschool

the indy singleplane will not fit under the stock hood. i would use the mopar 337 singleplane for your combo. it will fit under the stock hood. i have them on all my 500" motors. they all make 700 hp. the last one i dynoed made 718 horsepower. it made 590 hp at the wheels. i dynoed both manifolds, the difference was very slim, mainly up top.the air cleaner i use is K&N flow control. it has the lowest drop base, that i know of. the car, with the 718hp motor .....

Well Ron what other mods have you done to body
850hp is alot :)????



My Charger has an 8 point rollbar and welded in frame connectors so the chassis is well triangulated and very tight.  :yesnod:

At a minimum you should install subframe connectors with that kind of power to keep the body from twisting. A set of torqueboxes wouldn't hurt either.  ;)

Mine doesn't make as much power as Brian's car but i do race it and it does hook hard with the drag radials.  :icon_smile_big:

Yes iv got those done already :) just no rollbars but I'm making up some bars that mount to firewall to shocked tower for more bracing...
The issue is now that I don't know what to do with the hood I'd like to get a flat hood And get a scoop or cowl
Who does fiberglass hoods and who would ship to Australia ?????
