Been trying to find a happy medium on the Hemi for years. Looking to make ok power, but still be able to drive it all over...I have to say, its been a fight. Still not sure I found it since the wiring burned up the day we got the new Hemi in the car, and I haven't put a single mile on it this year...





In a roundabout way I did this. I took a 2550
Car and turned it into a 2880 car. Of course 80 pounds of that was booting my son into his own car. But I removed the fiberglass doors and went back to stock doors with wind up windows, bigger fuel cell, alternator, and a few other old guy mods. I love running low 6.0’s and not having to do one thing but add fuel. I have a mid 8 second car that’s almost finished sitting 8 feet away that I have almost zero interest in. But I don’t want to sell it.
