Al, we are video capable.... more than one team member has the goods needed to get that done. We haven't discussed it, but you never know  The baseline was at a smaller, sandy, dirt pits and a cornfield type of dragstrip locally (local guys will know where I'm talking about) and nobody batted an eye about the 10.30 car with BIG DADDY DON GARLITS in the window. Like two people came and looked close at it, and that was it....so I think we'll be OK doing some future testing there for awhile....until we turn up the boost, after that we might be hosed and may have to travel further. We can't really afford track rentals, and the track costs are coming out of our own pockets so we have to be careful. Splitting the costs up helps a bunch. Yep it's a big car. I like big cars and am right at home in a B or C body, so I guess I like the new Challenger because it's basically the same size as a B body, especially the width.

N/P Mike. The big L! Yep, it was last November. As long as nobody actually sees anything, that would be fine  We were all sworn to secrecy long before then, and had to wait until the the cat was let out of the bag at MATS. We were thinking if it would hook there with the sand and all, then it would probably hook anywhere....and it's a bit more private than the other places we could go....but that was with the baseline combo so who knows. Testing is months away, we got tons of work to do in the meantime, but I'll try to remember.

Sweet!, That's the same block being shown at the NHRA events? I checked one out at Gator-Nat's. they were saying that it should hold 1000 hp. You'll soon find out! ( I just had to add my self to the conversation for historical purposes) 
Only 1000HP? 
Uh oh, nobody told us that 
Oh well, it's too late to change it now...
Sorry about the top secret heads Mark, just trying to keep myself out of trouble. The nicest way I can put it is, the heads don't actually exist yet, but these ones do 
I guess they were just pulling #'s out of their [Edited by Moparts - Family Friendly Site - Keep it clean] because you have not tested it yet!

I picked up Jimmy larussa's Challenger for a twin turbo project, So the info will be of intrest.
It's a relief to know that car isn't in limbo anymore, thanks for chiming in. Good to know, and congrats!
When all the info about the combo is rounded up in one place and confirmed correct (unlike the mess I posted), no problem sharing all the info to anyone interested.
Randy: They're out of Auburn Hills if that gives a clue...

Just curious!
