Another new challenger to be not impressed with...

Rob Goss kicking a** at MIR

To be the only car in the field over 200 mph is still impressive by any standard.

4.46 in the eighth.Nice turn around from testing 2 weeks ago.

Rob is flying. That one must have the polished blower option too. I hope the new block design holds up for him.

2 81 Starlets in the field. My parents had a fleet of those back in the day, we used them to throw paper routes. Fun little cracker boxes..

Go gittum Rob!

Yay GOSSSSSS!

One motivated Mopar sitting in the top spot....

Cant be impressed because its Not a stock OEM block. Now that would be impressive. He stated the stock blocks were breaking in half. He made his Own solid blocks. They are for sale now as well.

Its a challenger, but its not a challenger motor.

But, glad he picked a new model challenger to race, and his accomplishments with it. Impressed with That

Thats just BAD A$$.

Gen III Hemi is as capable as anything else out there with pushrods. He is the ONLY Mopar there period. He was running in the 4.40's with a filled 6.1 block, it lasted 12 passes at that power level.

Ray Litz at #5 is my long time friend from back at High School in the 70's,Weare still good friend today.

No Mike Z is there with his twin turbo(gen 2 hemi) 70 cuda and hurt motor. But he replaced a piston and set his personal best mph with a 228 blast!

You can bolt stock heads on the block if you wanted too. So it is the same dimensions as a factory block. He makes water blocks also. Find me one mopar race car that goes 200+ with a production block!

Not sure if this is sarcasm or if you're serious? If you're serious I'm not really sure what to say. So any aftermarket block in a Mopar (even though it's based on Mopar architecture) is dismissed? You do realize he's making north of 2000 hp right? BTW, as pointed out earlier he was running 4.4's with a stock block but breaking them (as any stock block would, unless you can show me some stock block 440's running that fast and surviving?)

I was thinking the same thing. That dude has to be joking. There isn't a car on the planet that runs stock anything at that ET/mph.

So educate me on this one.
Is he going fast because of the G3 design as in good parts or is it more like top fuel where most can make the power but few can lay it down?
Would he be able to accomplish this with a CHEVY Based Engine
I'm Asking cuz I have NO clue.
I love the fact that its basically a G3 design.

Amen!!!!!

In the class he is running you do what is allowed and he is doing an excellent job. Best of luck to him and bring home the win

That was my point, it seemed that you were implying it was by your threads title, bouncing off of your last hellcat challenger thread.
Your Hellcat record, thread as backup of sorts I guess. That lots dismissed because the use of nitrous, witch eliminates a stock scenario.

People weren't impressed because it was no longer a stock Hellcat, because of nitrous, as it was implied.


So this thread was a response to that, another challenger to be not impressed with.

Not even Close to being in the same category or for comparison. Just trying to keep the records straight.

It actually set a x275 record with a stock block. 4.39

And IIRC the stock block went in the high 6s in the 1/4 on 275s.

Im pretty sure that class you can run billet or billet heads but not both.

You are correct

Yes you are correct by also came apart.

He took it as far as he could. Found a solution.Glad he didnt wait on Mother Mopar to come up with a solution.LOL.He could have gone with a LS swap etc. LOL Rob and HHP are pioneers for the 3rd Gen Hemis.May come a time Hellcat racer needs that block.

It's one of his blocks with a pair of Thitek heads?

Not sure on that.

Yep it is a CAST solid Block with billet Thiteks. It also has dual belt driven dizzys,and is a BES combo. It's bad, but it's also pretty basic really, just quality in materials and the car is setup excellent. Thing makes the most uneventful passes I've ever seen at the speeds he's going.

Good chance that the Supra (that's a 3.0 = 183" L6 engine designed in 1990, probably also in several of the other import chassis) is using the original block, crank, oil system, pan, head, and valves (there are no rockers, adjusters or pushrods), and drove the car home with the same gearing.

Rob just won another round

Sheridan Wyoming.... just a little unhandy for testing

I think he has the new victory heads on it.

I know they are Billet, and assumed it was Thitek.

HHP has new victory heads out, so I think he switched this year.
