Direct Connection ?

Since we can't live in somebody else's time (they don't make Deloreans and flux capacitors anymore), we're making our own good ol' days.
The Ramchargers are a big inspiration, no doubt about it. Without the "we were the Ramchargers" book, I'm not entirely sure this project would have happened.

I keep thinking Bauman's Whale, but I think they had a number of test cars all over the place so to say.
Stewart, did you get that list from The Koffel's? I remember Susie showing me one of those that she had kept with her in a binder.
..another name of THE CAR ! 
So that's the Garlits Mile High Nats exhibition car in a new wrap. Did anyone ever do anything with the Judy Lilly exhibition car? I guess that's the one they had at the PRI show?

You could almost chuck the headlights and do the turbos there.
It's cool to have someone "on the inside" but there is no way to know everything that's going on, and, as you mentioned once, you can't share certain information. I probably don't help matters by asking too many questions. 
I feel like a little kid looking through a store window at a shiney new bicycle, but only have a handful of change. At least there is a store employee who can tell us whatever cool stuff he knows about it.

The combo is 440CI, 392 cam, I can't remember the compression ratio, and I'm not supposed to tell anyone about the heads so I better not say anymore

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)
Will this be tested in private???And if it is,,,,,will some un-named person be providing some video that we NEVER admitt to viewing??
BIG bulky car. You did a great job on it though.

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.
... I realize it will

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
, As a Chrysler retiree I am also sworn to secrecy
The "BIG L"!!! Leave it to Raff! BTW...would this engine builder have a 248 area code??? Just curious! Randy B.

I picked up Jimmy larussa's Challenger for a twin turbo project, So the info will be of intrest.

Looks like an aftermarket casting. Is that an ATI powerglide with a G3 front bell?
Great stuff!
, are you staying with 9" tires or going bigger, if there is room?

After a bunch of internal discussion and some debating, we are going with a crank driven mechanical fuel pump from Aeromotive along with their regulator/filter.
We're not sure if we really need this much fuel pump, but better too much than not enough.
Our in-house fabricating genius is going to make some new fuel rails from the extrusions you see poking out of the box. Not because he wants to, but because nothing is going to fit anymore. We have the MP billet fuel rails on it currently which are fine for a regular 392... but they won't work with the 120lb injectors (!) and -12 line we're going to use so they gotta go. The injectors look like a miniature fire hose nozzle....
