That picture looks great!

Are those Hoosier radial slicks on the back?

I like the 68 body style the best. Your ET at the weight is impressive. Gives me hope with mine.

The heads are not hand ported. They are 345 CNC ported 440-1's. As far as the flow numbers I think guys get to caught up in the numbers game. It is the sum of all the parts in the combination. As I stated earlier in the post Dwayne Porter is the man that is responsible for my rides performance. He is the answer guy! If you would like to see some videos of the Charger go to utube and look under Jim trombly at Napierville and Jim's 1968 Dodge Charger. I am afraid that I am not very computer savy so I don't know how to transfer the videos to this site. As it was, I had to ask my daughter to load this post photo!

Thank you Vern for your help. That first vid was my third run with the new motor and the first one of that weekend. I had put more timing in it and wasn't sure what the thing was going to. I though that the thing was going on the bumper so, when I lifted I wasn't quick enough with the gas pedal and wacked the oil pan! Done for the day. Pan cracked next to the drag link tube. O well, all part of the drag race program.

All I can say is WOW!!!!! Your Charger is absolutely beautiful and BAD A$$! And to have owned it all those years that is great. Mine is not nearly as fast as yours, but it has a big thing in common with yours...Original 440-4speed also owned since '86.

I would love to see more of your car. Please post some more pics...I can't wait.

Thanks,
Greg.

And track champion too.
Complete package.
How many 9.08 ET's has it gone in it's life?
I see a bunch of 9.30 & 9.40 too.
Are you sure that car weighs 3700 pounds?

Perhaps the scale at that track measures using kilograms?

The 30's and 40's were from last year when I was running basically the same setup except at 528 cubes and a little under 12 to 1 compression. For this past season I changed out the crank, rods and pistons and stepped up 14 to 1 compression. The best the old combo ran was 9.26 at 145, new best 9.08 at 147 for the additional 44 cubes and 2 points of compression.

That's about a 40hp gain...
