I only paid $36 for mine?  Guess I got a good deal?  I am not going to use it I am going to make a Carbon Fiber one with Red kevlar thread,  So I will use mine only for a pattern.

[HITMAN 149]

hey blown...
yea they are cheap... not expensive at all... anywhere's from 35-50 bucks!!!
nice score!!! 

[MSRacing89]

Think I'm going with 18x10 rear and 17x9 front - love the look of MSRacing's 68 so that kind of inspired my size set up

As far as the front spoilers go, you can just bolt on a 69 Camaro spoiler or is there much modification necessary? are they very functional or just show?

Hey Mike...............look what we started!  There is going to be a whole lot of Chargers with  Chevy parts on them.  I did not think everyone would figure out where the spoiler came from.

Hey Gang,

Just ordered the following:

1) Alterktion front and rear suspension package
2) Strange S60 rear end (w 4:10 gears)
3) Wilwood 12.19" MII 4 piston caliper w/ drilled rotors all the way around

Is anyone else running 4:10's ? I was told that with the 5 spd tranny now I should be ok with this - opinions?

Mike if you see this I may call you this weekend to pick your brain - cool?

Also, does anyone have any links to that "open road racing" circuit - I'm thinking I may go for it .......

wow even with a 5 speed i would be scared of 4:10 on the hiway    3:54/3:55 would sound better to me 

[Pistolpete]

you know, thats exactly what I said but the giuy talked me out of it - Like I had nothing to worry about with the new 5 spd?
Considering I'm building her more for "Bull Run" and Open road racing style now than quarter mile I think I may consider dropping em down a bit or at the very least getting a second gear set ?

What are the gears in the 5 spd...... I would think a 3:54 would be better too, depending on what 5th is for you.

[six-tee-nine]

Well I won't go 4.10 anyway.
I want it to cruise comfortable also...because I won't take it to a meet on a trailer.

So considering 18" wheels with 285 45 in the back that gives you a 27" wheel. With a 4 speed you'll do approx. 80 Mph @ 3500 rev's with a 3.55 in the back.
I think 70/80 is a nice highway speed....
If you step up to a 4.10 on the otherhand you'll be close to 4500 rev's....

Afterall it's OR pro-tour OR dragster IMO there can't be an AND here.

[PocketThunder]

Does this one qualify as Pro-Touring?  440 with turbo, and a 5-speed.

Also think that rear end ratio is too wild.
I am going 3.25, with a Mark Williams modular rearend, and a T 56, with 0.64 on 6th. ( 2,97 on first)
I think the 5 speed is app 0,75 on 5th, so i would go a lot higher than 4,10!!
Build the engine for torque, and put long legs on it!!!

If my Charger had 4.10 gears instead of the 3.54s , First gear would be useless! I have a 27" tire (approx.)

I wouldnt go with 4.10s unless you plan on some pretty tall tires. 

PS I also have a 5 speed.

[suntech]

I am not going to use it I am going to make a Carbon Fiber one with Red kevlar thread,  So I will use mine only for a pattern.

Very good idea!! Planning on doing the same stuff, but with the complete front valance, with integrated spoiler.

WOW that will be  .  What color you going with for the kevlar thread?  Or that maybe top Secret....  I am going to pattern mine a bit different as it seems everyone would have the same I would like a bit of a different but yet cool look..... I have plenty of fabic so I may be making a few mistakes....

GOOD LUCK and let us see that when you are done!!!

[HITMAN 149]

that's that raffle charger from michigan that out of state residents COULDN'T get in on!! he's had it on ebay 2-3 times already!!! frigggggin sweet car!!!!

[autodynamics]

for rear end formula....u can use this i did mine with 3:91 with overdrive, http://www.keislerauto.com/tools/mopar_analyzer_5sp.html with the stick.try it i think its very useful...Pete

[OttawaCharger]

Pete,
It seems to me that every good Pro-touring car needs to have name.  What did you name your car?   

[suntech]

WOW that will be  .  What color you going with for the kevlar thread?  Or that maybe top Secret.... 

Hehe, on secret, depending a little on body color. There are som many different colors, so it is kinda cool to have something that matches the rest of the car. The color i am thinking about for my car, will be black carbon.

Hey gang,

I think I am going to drop it down to 3.90's or 3.56's - I really need this thing to perform on the highway.....thanks for the input.
As far as a name for the charger? I'm kinda liking GRIM REAPER or maybe just REAPER ? - I think it kinda works with the (eventual) gun metal and black paint scheme!
That reminds me I'll post a pic of the colour test panel we did - LOVIN' IT!!

gonna paint the engine compartment now while the engine is being overhauled  (yes I decided to do a monster 440 rather than Hemi crate) and do all the "GO" stuff this year, drive it in the summer, then all the "SHOW" stuff next year (body/Paint trim)

I think that is a good Idea with the Gear.  Esp for all else you have going on with the build.  I think the 4:10 would be wayyyy to much.

Like the name.....

[suntech]

Go at least down to 3.56. It will make it soooooooooooo much nicer on the highway!!:2thumbs:

It depends on which OD ratio. I had my dana 60 built with 3:73 and I will run the :62 OD ratio. The 5 speed with the 3:73 gear is like the 883 with a 4:10.
