The coyote is a nice package and with a supercharger intake head flow becomes less important for all of them. Possibly the coyote can rpm it's way past a 50 cubic inch handicap.

I don't think RPM will be a problem for the drag pack guys to keep up with, look what Barton has done with the genII Hemis they will make it happen if they need more.

I saw an in car of Barton running a Gen III out the back door @ 8900rpm.

HP is much more closely related to CFM than it is RPM, if you don't have any air flowing in you can't burn fuel no matter the RPM. Air flow IS going to be critical as they all have to run the same blower it seems. We have a bigger engine and bigger air flow RPM will not overcome that and like has already been mentioned the gen III is no slouch in RPM anyhow. At the same weight 50 CFM and 50 CID will spank the other guys real hard. If it was same displacment to weight it may well be another story.

I believe the Mopar N/A combo is the best of the bunch. That being said the NMCA weight is 200 lbs less than NHRA. I doubt if a legal NHRA cars carry 200 lbs of ballast. I would bet most cars in this class will be dual purpose NHRA/NMCA. The other issue is boost vs N/A. I think the N/A cars will be at a disadvantage. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

If you're spinning the blower faster you're moving more air no?

Not nessacarily, a SC gets to a point where it just don't really move much more air, not to mention a greater restriction means more PSI and that menas more heat and less mass flow...

Iooked it up and the top 5 liter coyote fs/xx has run a 8.50 at 161.88 mph. That is at the class legal 3575 lbs on a 9" tire. I'm antious to see what the supercharged 354 challenger drag pak will run.

There are many variables. Sometimes when your blower limited a smaller cubic inch is superior as the boost will be higher with the smaller engine. The other thing is exhaust flow becomes very important on the boosted engine. I don't know which heads are superior in exhaust flow. Then the cars are racing on a small tire so the long flat torque curve the 4valve will produce may be an asset. Time will tell but after checking the performance of the cars running out there now I think the racing will be fast and fairly close. The ringer may be the supercharged challenger.

That REALLY bums me out. They really must have their heads where the sun dont shine, first they take a dump on Penske, then the Trans Am teams, then the Tudor Viper guys and the latest is AJ. All after OVER achieving with their brand, I dont get it. Its like if you win championships with a Dodge you get the ax, makes perfect sense to an FCA moron I guess.....

This type of exposure makes much more sense than prostock to me. The cars look like what are driving around on the street with engines that you can get in a production car. Who would not want their Brand at the top of the heap. It's crazy.

Its corporate talking heads making decisions based on budget instead of loyalty or integrity. I hope David KILLS the 354's with his COPO, if they are that stupid, they have it coming....

How does the head flow compare between the 3? Is the COPO using an LS3 head? Gen III a 6.2 head? Is porting allowed?

If it was budget, there would've been specs for a few to quote the build. This appears to be politics..... Obama style! fan down whiney

I don't know what Mopar based their decision on, but I can tell you if they wanted to win, they would've at least heard what the fastest guy out their with their product had to say....

For the record, the blown dragpak was a little over 1000hp before David started tuning

Was the 426 n/a motor dead legal? Or did it have "special" parts? Is it possible that the Indiana builder has supercharged ecperience? Just wondering.

Thinking I read somewhere it was BES (Bischoff) which is the builder of Rob Goss's engine and the fastest gen3 period !!

No knock on Barton but it would be silly to think he's the only one who can tune or make gen3's run !!!

I was just reading the rules and they stated that the automatic transmission must be the same make as the car. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the early V-10 drag pack cars have a glide in them shruggy

I believe you can run a glide or a Proflite in all 3 makes.
