I want it to be quite streetable, (upgraded 727 auto) so what do you suggest for heads, cam, carb & intake? One carb or two? Money is an issue as the more it costs the longer it will take me to do, I understand & could build a killer B or RB for the price of the head setup on a Hemi but I want a Hemi!

My Hemi (604ci) has been built by FHO, Tim has been excellent but together we certainly stretched my original budget. More than happy with the results. Tim could sell you all the bits or you could move your block on and start new with one of his combos. www.forhemisonly.com The money thing is the problem, My engine choice means the Challenger wont see the road for longer as I cant afford the suspension/Brakes etc required by nearly 900HP Last edited by Zapp; 06/04/10 04:29 AM.

Street will be interesting but fun with 890HP and 837FT/Lbs I basically optioned everything up so the bottom end is never going to brake, Roller everything, just kept cam as reasonable as possible and went with Stage V replacement Heads and kept compression at 11-1 for pump fuel. The Crossram cost me HP but picked up mega Torque. Just couldnt live without the Crossram when I decided to go Hemi. BTW nice Cuda, where in NZ are you, My inlaws are in Motueka
