Geoff Turk-170 mph Drag Pak

Saw Geoff's Stocker went 8:02@170 at the Indy Open.

Awesome! After all the talk of the Barton COPO going to be the first there it'd be awesome to see a Mopar do it.

Is this a 354 SC or 426 NA? Regardless, that is freaking amazing.

5.7 blower car I believe.

This is just speculation on my part but I think they found something in the suspension on these cars lately. The one Leah Pritchett drives has picked up also. The blown Drag Pack cars are 354 cubic inch. Their biggest problem in the past has been smoking the tires.

..in an article in national dragster in May
"We've got some really good support of late from Mopar.They have another engine approved and hopefully by Norwalk or certainly by the US Nationals,with the support of Mopar we'll have that ready to go.

We have been working hard to find improvement on both cars. Many things including the suspension, transmission, converter, rear gear and the new aluminum block engine have all been part of the journey.

We are getting there and have now caught the fastest COPOs and Cobra Jets.

We'll keep at it so we can hopefully come out swinging in the NHRA and NMCA Factory Stock events in 2018.

all I have to say is, THANK YOU

Thanks so much for the update.

Please keep us posted on your progress.

This is awesome! Love to see this combo taking the lead.

How do the supercharged dragpacks compare HP wise to the Chevy/Ford supercharged engines?

Mopar had a couple drag paks at Martin testing today, looked like the one Pritchett has been driving as well. Would be interesting to know the numbers.

My sources tell me they make more. The problem they have had is hooking up on 9 inch tires. They are 3mph faster than the others, so it seems to match up.

That thing looks bad a$$!!

Good luck on getting that "7"!!

Crazy fast!!

What's the weight for it in FS/XX?

Cars with a 2.3L Eaton supercharger must weigh a minimum of 3,300 lbs.
Cars with a 2.9L Whipple supercharger must weigh a minimum of 3,550 lbs

This was Geoff's reply to a post he had made on Facebook about the great run. I had asked him how well the thought the car would "race" next year:

"Thanks ! It should do pretty well.

Once we had it sorted, this car has hooked very well.

The issue we had is that when we didn’t have the down track power, we had to take a chance at the starting line in eliminations and throw more at it than normally you’d like. Plus at NHRA National events we sometimes ran behind ‘wheel speed’ guys that tear up the rubber, leaving bald spots and creating inconsistencies.

Now that we have the power, we have been making consistent low teens to eight 0 passes.

We will see."

I don't know which blower the Drag Pak cars use, but @3300lbs......170mph shows over 1200hp.

That's impressive!!

Thanks for all the encouragement and support.

The 2015 Drag Pak 354 combinations all use the 2.9l Whipple blower.

In FS/XX it weighs in at 3,550+ lbs.

We ran the 8.02 in FS/A trim at right at 3,500 lbs. FS/A has a minimum weight of 3,410 with the current rating for the engine but because the driver likes donuts and these modern Challengers are relatively big and heavy, we can't really get down to that weight.

Great work! Is that block a G3 aluminum block or something Mopar came out with?

Thanks ! it happened because of the great support from the best ever independent race consultant, Sandy Turk and a whole lot of help from my friends at MR2 Performance / JR1 Oil, BES Racing Engines, Coan Engineering, Holley and off course, the foundation Mopar and SRT Engineering.

The block is a new Mopar AL block, will be in new catalog soon.

If you want to know more, cool that Dragzine giving us Mopars some press:

Is there a place where we can watch these cars race live? I REALLY dig these cars but never know when or where to watch to see them

Looks like it was pulled from a rope to the other end.

Never seen anything go that straight before.

Can you let us know all the cam specs that come with the stock drag pak?

Would love to know LSA, lift and Duration of the cam that mopar puts in.

You can watch NHRA Stock or Super Stock run live during NHRA Division 3 events on D3TV (a YouTube channel). The NHRA Div. 3 Facebook page publishes the daily schedule of runs / classes so you can follow along on D3TV.

You can see the NHRA Factory Stock Showdown on the web live on NHRA All Access (web based video streaming) but it is a subscription service. You can pay for an event or the whole season. You can also watch a recap on the Fox coverage of the NHRA events where Showdowns are run (5 events in 2017, 7 events in 2018).

Lastly, you can watch these cars run in Factory Supercar at NMCA events on SpeedVideo (another web based video streaming channel) for free.

I don’t have exact specs memorized but can get them.

Lift is 0.675, durations @ 0.050 are in the 260s and I think LSA is around 117.

Thanks, if you can get the total specs that would be awesome!! Also, a private message is on the way. Thanks!!
