That would make a nice combo for X275. But can you get that torque hooked up on a 275?

Really need to know the Rules and how they are worded, of the Track or series or event you'll be running in. I have had an eye-opener lately at how much the rules actually vary all in the name of the same class. From track to Track and series to series or even event to event.

I have seen stock suspension written as "Bolted to stock location", which means you could use anything that would bolt in. I have also seen it say "Stock Style or Type", if they use that wording you would be stuck with a Torsion Bar front suspension.

That being said:

About your best 2 option for Stock Suspension, (which is the Norm for X275) would be.

1. a-body with cal-tracs and Tubular front suspension and K-frame that bolts into factory locations (If allowed). And Fiberglass everywhere allowed.

2. would be a 1979-1993 Mustang with a Mopar Power plant in it.

One of my co-workers has a 1983 Mustang (Chevy Powered) in this class and he's constantly nagging me to either sell him my motor or scrap my Dakota and get a Mustang to put my motor in.

He is saying X275 it is the same rules on the whole east coast and mid west!!!!!! As also stated in the last x275 thread NO TWIN TURBOS IN X275.

I'm in the bleachers watching the x275 class. There are 88 cars here in the class it's a 32 car field and #1 is 4.81 #4 is 4.88 and the bump is 5.07.

And I just watched a leaf spring camaro go 4.60 at 170 with leaf springs and cal tracks. Just in case you don't think the cal trace will get it done.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/16/11 04:48 AM

Well, to run out front nationally you have to run 4.80 1/8 miles and to do that you need to make 1500+ hp at x275 weight. BES built chevy BB's with big chief heads are getting it done, but Mopars can't run Predators or PS Hemi heads. Max effort BES 11* big chiefs flow 556 cfm @1". That is as much as my Hemi99 flows, yet the Hemi head is outlawed. Predators flow less and aren't legal either. So you're faced with trying to use a B1-MC or PSO, which is like 470 cfm.

I personally believe the smallblock n2o combo would be a better package. A good w8/9 purpose built, max effort nitrous engine could compete with SBF SBC engines. The smallblock isn't that far behind the BB in hp and gets to weigh a lot less. The sb runs @2950, can use any induction and multiple carbs and as many kits as you want. The bb runs @3250 lbs, can only run a cast manifold with a single carb and one kit only.

3 different tracks / events 3 different sets of rules all on 275's being the only thing that's the same. Call it 275, 8.5" or X275 fact is not all tracks or events call it the same or run the same rules except that the tire is the same. If you want to stick with the X275 designation then many tracks don't even run that class.

Same goes with Outlaw 10.5 and True 10.5.

At Shakedown I could get in any 10.5 class I want as long as I could qualify. At Houston Outlaws I could only get in their ProMod class, some rule in all other 10.5 classes would put me out.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/16/11 01:35 PM

I know around this area one of the front runners is Chris Evans...procharged sbf, actually theres quite a few running that combo, fox body mustang of course. But then theres also Ron Rhodes who has run in the 4s with a small block on Nos with a first gen Camaro on Nos and hes only running 23* heads and leaf springs at that. Main thing is its gonna take alot of testing to get it right and dealing with varying track conditions as the tires are tempermental

Only one of those events had X275(shakedown) all the others had different classes.If you want to run X275 you have to do it at one of the dozen or so tracks that run their events(MIR,CECIL,ATCO,VALDOSA,PEIDMONT,etc). If you choose to run at tracks that have different rules so be it. You need to pick a class and build your car for that class and not all these different classes you keep bringing up. If you try and build for all these seperate classes your car would probally not be real competive in any.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/17/11 04:44 AM

Just got back from Valdosta GA at the Outlaw Revolution race and watched a few Mopars running the class. ALL were running W9 headed smallblocks. One had a B1 BB but the smallblocks were eating his lunch. Also saw a late model Mustang running a W9 436" smallblock Mopar. He went 4.86 if I remember correctly. If you ask those guys they say the Mopar W's 7,8, and 9 are actually superior to the Chevy and Ford stuff.

My point exactly!!! The original poster is in Midland/Odessa Texas. Not many tracks out there and not many in Texas that run X275 or any 275 rules.

It's a haul just to get out of Texas from where he's at.

Thanks for the replies. I would really like to build a new Challenger for the class. Install a Dragpak suspension, large W8 motor then decide NOS or EFI and forced induction. Will run the Texas X275 stuff but build the car to be competitive in Voldasta next year.

I was very close to heading down that same road. I spoke with John Sears to make sure the Drag pak suspension would be legal and he assured me it would. I also spoke with Pete Harrel about building a turbo GenIII Hemi. The only thing holding me back is money!! I crunched some numbers and realised to build a competitive car it was going to be VERY expensive.
Posted By: W8n2DustU

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/17/11 02:07 PM

I would go with the W8 or W9 build before the Gen III Hemi stuff for sure. A 420"+ motor with alot of r and d. Getting the car light will be the trick. I got alot of whats needed to build one. Need to contact a few chassis shops today. I will just buy a new 2011 SE Challenger. They have 0%. Cant beat that.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/17/11 02:43 PM

The twin turbo mustang with small block mopar was a W8 not w9 and his fastest pass was a 5.11 but this was only the second outing with the car.



You will find that the x275 rules "John sears" rules as you may hear them called are becoming very popular. Indys true street class are similar and more and more tracks are going that way.

The b1 bb dart is rossio and that's an all motor car goin 5.70s there was also a blur duster with an all motor w9 that ran 5.70s Aaron Yates orange dart is a w8 2 kits going 5.20s and the other gold dart there had a chevy engine.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/17/11 02:47 PM

I agree that a W8/9 turbo engine could compete. I think the GenIII Hemi can as well, just unsure of the blocks holding up and gasket sealing with a lot of manifold pressure. I'd be a little less apprehensive about spending the money on a GenIII Hemi if they had a proven race block like the W8/9 does. I'd probably build a little smaller engine around 400 ci.

I really just need to decide whether I really want to spend the money. I'd have to sell a few Harley's, my PS Hemi and possibly some other goodies to finance some of it so it would be a big commitment for me to do it. I really don't want to go into debt if I decide to build it. I have access to a body and have some of the parts as well, just need to take the plunge .

If you decide to do it best of luck and keep us posted on your progress!

You need to go to your track mangers and get X275 brought to your local track. I want to get nddra realstreet 275 up here in the northeast.Really like the class and feel its fits my budget much better then X275. Especially now that X275 is a 4.80 class. New record set at 4.78 this weekend, bump was a 5.07 for the class.

What about putting the Pro Stock Truck Hemi Engine on Nitrous. That should make a very nice 420ci engine or are those parts just to rare to build one. Where are the rich mopar guys when you need them, that combo should fly but it is uncharted territory.

As I read the rules, there is nothing outlawing them. On the BB, they say only conventional heads which means the best would be traditional Hemi heads or B1's. But for small blocks, there is only a 100lbs weight penalty for SB's.

I talked to a longtime comp racer about that problem while I was in Indy as they run the same head on a four cylinder and he told me that with the way these guys port heads, that they all will crack due to them pushing for really good flow numbers. He just said they weld them up in those areas to fix them or to add more aluminum.

I personally think those rules are terrible. SB with an 88mm is at a huge advantage over everything else by those rules. What is the record? ET & MPH?
Posted By: cold85

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/17/11 08:09 PM

My opinon which is crap anyway.
a w8-w9 motor could be a front runner no problem.
a nitrous motor will run good
so would a big inch procharged
and turbo needs to be under 360ci imo

The biggest thing to making it work is trying rather than just wondering if it would work.

Most if not all X275 are 1/8th mile. The nitrous cars can keep up with the turbo cars if not do better.

In fact I get a daily report from the last 2 weeks of X275 racing from my co-worker that keeps up with that class and he's telling me that Nitrous is taking the wins and the Records.

4.7's in the 1/8th best I have heard him mention so far the last 2 weeks.

x275 record was reset this weekend 4.785 by kevin neal like i mentioned earlier.

i think if anyone wants to even begin to guess what it takes to run this class, they should come to the race in february at sgmp so you can see it for yourself

my car makes a whole bunch of power, and i look at these guys who also make a TON of power and they really have to lean on those bad a$$ rides to run those numbers. its not the same as watching big tire bracket cars run those same numbers!



hey, heads up, congrats on getting that blue camaro figured out. i watched that car make great strides this weekend

UHHH I'm starting to hate that car as much as mine. We had a bad miss/popping problem and thought we had it fixed and got there thursday and still had it. So we checked everything and threw a ton of parts on it and one of them fixed it. The biggest thing we are trying to do is get the car to repeat now. We went the 5.00 with a very soft tune-up and got in the top 32 race in the heat sat, and pulled to the starting line twice with the same tune-up on Sat nite just 1 click tighter on front shocks on a track that was leaps and bounds better and smoke the tires in .04. Sunday same tune-up as when we went 5.00, same car set-up, track temp within 5 deg. and air 200 ft difference and smoke the tires. It just makes you wanna pull your hair out. But its all good, we will figure it out.

Yea in X275 the nitrous combo is the one to beat, but as I stated before in the TEXAS RULES 275 I WOULDN'T WANT TO TRY TO RUN NITROUS!

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/18/11 03:41 PM

Honestly I do not think the rules are good for a nitrous bb mopar. I may be wrong but a nice conventional chevy compared to b-1's is hard to beat with b1's.
Second a nitrous motor sb will be hard if it is sitting in a mopar body due to weight and how light the car can get. I will wait to see what steven can come up with in his new ride to see what weight he can get it too with the sb.

Blower and turbo seems to be the easier choice for mopars due to how much weight penalty they carry.
I have said it before and will again a blower or turbo motor can make as much as any other brand in the right hands. I would have a mopar motor if I had not already had the ford from the start. I have bought a block that is mopar for next year but not sure if i will have the time to get it done before feb.

Which heads are you thinking about putting on Mopar block thats sitting. Your right, putting together a new combo before next feb is running a tight schedule then also getting it done so you can test. Thats a tough decision to make right there due to the tight schedule. Good luck with it!

I agree on the BB chrysler not having a chance against a new set of headhunters. I think I can get my new car light enough with the nitrous small block, unless it goes down to something crazy like 2800 lbs which I dont see happening. It can be done with the turbo/supercharger just would be a ton of money to do. I actually was comparing numbers and Bills w-9 motor only back halfed 5 numbers slower than tommys 15 deg (big) small chevy with the same jets but bills dart is 300 more lbs and doesn't have anything fancy and on 28's.(it still has a 7al-3 and 2nd kit on a button)lol. Long as I can get the car right the engine is making enough power to be competitive, it won't be a class killer but will run good.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/18/11 04:05 PM

I think they may give the sb nitrous a 50-100lb break and take off 50 for ladder bars. IMO I have not heard anything this is just my opinion. And if they do that how much weight do you think you could have to play with steven?

I'm really not 100%. The only thing I really have to go by is my old nitrous set-up, and I asked the guy with the blue duster running 5.70 this past weekend was 2850 with driver but he was 10 point cage, w-9 engine, 904, glass hood and doors, tubular front end, nice wheels brakes etc. My old car with homemade front steer set-up, all steel exept hood, bumpers factory glass. BB lowdeck, 727, 9" iron center, 12 point mild cage, 1 10 lb bottle, 3 gallon cell, all the weight out with me in it (im 240) was 3090lbs. Like my car is currently with turbo,intercooler,ice tank, water tank and all is 3275. My new car is going to have glass hood, bumpers, doors, decklid, lexan winsheild, alum center section, a ton more bars but will be moly. I think I can do it, and I do agree the only weight that will be ajusted will be nitrous sb with the turbo,blower,n2oBB being so close and a few numbers faster.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/18/11 06:19 PM

Chad, what does your Dart weigh? I think with a maximum lightening effort a 67-69 Dart can get pretty light with a all aluminum nitrous engine. I still would like to attempt a GenIII Hemi with a turbo in a new Challenger. The Hemi is light, can make good power I just worry about 4 heads bolts. I may just say f'it and screw one together.

well the biggest thing is sealing up the heads so it may be taking a chance but only one way to know. I do not know how much my car would weigh without any lead in it. I have always had to add so much I have never even counted all the lead bricks and some of them are different. I just scale it and move the 10 bricks of the same weight around to get what I want.

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/18/11 11:21 PM

I will admit I don't know the 275 & X275 rules but if they allow a round tube backhalf car that's the only way I see getting even an A-Body light enough. The Dart Donald & I run has stock frame rails front to rear, basic 6 points of cage are mild steel balance is moly, ladder bars, Bob's Pro Fab front end, 5 gal fuel cell, one 16V battery, 1 10# n2o bottle, 2 Kirkey sets, Spaghetti Menders wiring, fiberglass hood, bumpers, doors & deck lid, lexan side windows, quarter glass & rear window, R3/W8 w/ Liberty 5 speed. It weighed right at 3000# with Donald race ready.

We may go to fiberglass front fenders and a lexan windshield while rebuilding from the fire but I don't where can find anymore weight to remove.

Not saying it couldn't be done but someone would have to spend a major amount of money for very little return. In my younger days If I would have had the resources I do now I probably would try to built a competitive car but the older I get I just don't see spending the $.

Heya Mike, Donalds car would fit right in. I think SB nos without canted valve heads needs to be 2950#.

I hear ya on blowing the money as you get older. This is why I've been tap dancing around actually putting something together the last couple of years. It's easy to just fart around with the GTX and not have to bust a$$ on a heads-up car.

From what i can tell from studying this for the last few weeks is it would be beneficial to do the allaluminum W8 package. I have a brand new block and access to some good heads. I already have all the other things from BS3 to the turbo. I will go ahead and purchase a new SE Challenger. Anyone need a new V6? Lol. Anyone know the best places to get the Dragpak specific glass and other light weight components? Anyone making carbon parts? Also which front suspension is better?

So what do you think you can run with that engine (one carb cast intake),one gun, 275's, and 3400 lbs? Thats what you would have to be by x275 rules. Oh and dont forget the 50lbs for ladder bars so how fast @3450 lbs ?
Posted By: 1967dartgt

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/19/11 03:34 PM

3450 would be tall deck and ladder bar. How much hp do you think you can get on one kit on that b-1 is the question? And still get down the track on a 275.

His 588 aint a low deck.LOL
One of my buddys this past weekend in georgia went 4.94 in a 02 camaro 565bbc dart pro 1 345cc heads nothing special. On a 44 jet with the foggers split and a ton of launch retard and gear retard. Anymore nitrous and will have to go back to a progressive but I think a BB has to have at least a 44-48 jet to run good.

Re-read my post,no where did i say we would rule the roost...Not in anyway trying to start a pissin match,just saying i think we could be competitive with a BBM...Besides i'm building my car to run my area not back east or southeast,way to much racing going on around here to worry about everyone else...






Gettin touchy there old man. I just asked how fast do you think you can go? Where in any of that am I trying to start an argument. Did you notice the question mark at the end?

I think they may give the sb nitrous a 50-100lb break and take off 50 for ladder bars. IMO I have not heard anything this is just my opinion. And if they do that how much weight do you think you could have to play with steven?





I'm really not 100%. The only thing I really have to go by is my old nitrous set-up, and I asked the guy with the blue duster running 5.70 this past weekend was 2850 with driver but he was 10 point cage, w-9 engine, 904, glass hood and doors, tubular front end, nice wheels brakes etc. My old car with homemade front steer set-up, all steel exept hood, bumpers factory glass. BB lowdeck, 727, 9" iron center, 12 point mild cage, 1 10 lb bottle, 3 gallon cell, all the weight out with me in it (im 240) was 3090lbs. Like my car is currently with turbo,intercooler,ice tank, water tank and all is 3275. My new car is going to have glass hood, bumpers, doors, decklid, lexan winsheild, alum center section, a ton more bars but will be moly. I think I can do it, and I do agree the only weight that will be ajusted will be nitrous sb with the turbo,blower,n2oBB being so close and a few numbers faster.



I have the Blue Duster it's all Steel with a glass hood, glass bolt on deck lid with the factory torsion rods in the trunk, and glass bumpers. All factory glass, steel doors, with all window regulators everything works. Two seats, carpet, factory dash, headliner, basically full interior minus the back seat. 12 point chrome molly cage, power glide, Dana 60, it has a huge radiator two 12" electric fans, an aluminum 12 gallon fuel cell. Hoosier 315 Drag Radials, ladder bars. I did not want a hulled out shell of what used to be a Duster. The only thing it doesn't have to be street legal is wipers and a horn. It's 2845 with Me in the car and I weight 225 lbs. I defiantly think you can be light if you put your mind to it...
I would Love to put a single Pro Charger or a Turbo but this is my first full season running it and Im having a Blast in my local Real Street 5.70 class.... It's was An Awesome weekend I Won Saturday and was Runner up on Sunday!!! I Won the first 5.70 they had in February. Not bragging just having a Great Season!!! Mopars To The Front MF'ers.....

No worries here ...It takes a lot more than a young pup on the net to rile me up To answer your question:Grudge racing,weighing as lite as we can, we hope 4.80'S...28X10.5 we have to weigh from 3000# to 3200# around here and shooting for 4.90'S to 5.00'S...275 radial we'll just have to see as we've never been on radials but we do like to test.Looking at the tire it looks the same size as the 28X10.5 we run,but i understand it will be a hole new world..........

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/19/11 11:21 PM

Tuning and power management are the keys. But first you have to have the ability to make as much power as the front runners. Also having a solid chassis that's not ill handling on such a small tire. Every part of the combo will have to be tweaked to perfection to have a front running combo. Its like the ADRLs 10.5 class. They all make enough power to win. It comes down to who has their act together on a given weekend.

His 588 aint a low deck.LOL
One of my buddys this past weekend in georgia went 4.94 in a 02 camaro 565bbc dart pro 1 345cc heads nothing special. On a 44 jet with the foggers split and a ton of launch retard and gear retard. Anymore nitrous and will have to go back to a progressive but I think a BB has to have at least a 44-48 jet to run good.






I'm a little out of date on the nitrous setups: what is a split fogger? Does it still count as one system then? I get the launch retard and gear retard, pretty self-explanatory.

I tried to once but it blew the tires off!!! I was on the show Pass Time. It went a full second slower than normal in the 1/8 6.68 1/8 and 10.00 @146 1/4 I know it had to have killed some MPH as well. I have been 5.66 in August in FL hot as hell and crapy air...

When you split systems you. Will leave on the driver side 4 nozzles and turn on the passenger side nozzles with a timer. A ton easier to manage power than everything turning on at once.

Radials are faster than slicks...its proven...
They may be a lil hard to get down bad tracks, but trust me, IF you try them and have sucess....you aint going back to a slick..

You have plenty of "tools" to get your car down a track with radials...AND be faster than a slick.

You may be right, We're sure going to give it a try...BTW which radial do you run.Already have some m/t's,but the top runners seem to prefer hoosiers.........

I definitely agree Radials are faster! I run 315 Hoosiers on mine. I'm just an all motor small block and I've been 1.22 60

Re: mopars and X275 - 10/20/11 11:08 PM

i run Hoosier 295's
they are a lot easier to get down a crappy track than the MT's
they are lighter than the MT too.
I have been almost identical times on both tires so in good conditions there really is no difference....

Whatever tire you use, they dont like wheelie bars...LOL
Hit the bars too hard and you going to get some crazy tire shake,

You will be fine, i bet you running well on them in no time

Well, to run out front nationally you have to run 4.80 1/8 miles and to do that you need to make 1500+ hp at x275 weight. BES built chevy BB's with big chief heads are getting it done, but Mopars can't run Predators or PS Hemi heads. Max effort BES 11* big chiefs flow 556 cfm @1". That is as much as my Hemi99 flows, yet the Hemi head is outlawed. Predators flow less and aren't legal either. So you're faced with trying to use a B1-MC or PSO, which is like 470 cfm.

I personally believe the smallblock n2o combo would be a better package. A good w8/9 purpose built, max effort nitrous engine could compete with SBF SBC engines. The smallblock isn't that far behind the BB in hp and gets to weigh a lot less. The sb runs @2950, can use any induction and multiple carbs and as many kits as you want. The bb runs @3250 lbs, can only run a cast manifold with a single carb and one kit only.




No Big Chief heads allowed. That was a "conventional" BBC head engine.

I was talking to the guy that built Shelly Smiths X275 SBC thats been low 4.90's - he seems to think a small block mopar with forced induction could be very competitive. The problem is there's only one or two people in the country willing to spend the $$ it takes. The mopar crowd is notoriously cheap when it comes to top shelf builds...

So would a turbo R4/P5 motor in a Dragpak be legal anywhere but Georgia? What rear suspension comes in a 2011 Dragpak? Sears rules say no 4 links period! Atleast I thought that's how it read!

Here is John's answer about the Drag Pac suspension when I pm'ed him on YB a while back. Not sure, but I believe they allow canted valve smallblock heads with a weight penalty:

Hey Marc,

Thanks for the interest in X275. The stock type Hemi in the late model Challenger is legal, the Old Style Hemi however is not legal on the BB combos. I'm pretty sure Dodge has come out with the Drag Pac rear suspension kit for the Challenger to replace the IRS and that would be legal since it's available from the manufacture on a car sold to the public. You would retain the stock suspension weight with that configuration.

Because they come from the factory that way.

And they are not a 100% true 4-link like you would see installed after -market but they damn sure work like 1 !!!!!

Like I stated above. Some classes / rule makers have started looking the other way when it comes to some things.

If in doubt always helps to ask the Guys that actually make and write the rules.
