Thanks guys! I have owned the Charger since 1974 and am the third owner. It had 68k on it when I bought it and has 78k on it now. It is an orginal RT 440 4 speed car. I picked it up from a buddy of mine for $1200. I was only 21 at he time and had to get a loan from the bank, $50 a month payment for three years and she was all mine! Does't sound like much now but, when I was making $1.95 an hour and going to school it was enough. Started Drag racing it in 1988 and have slowly progressed to where I am now! You all should know that the first day at the track I met a guy that has been the number one reason for the machine that you see today, Dwayne Porter! I have not made an improvement without his input. He will tell you what works and does't work, take it to the bank! Best times are 9.08 at 147MPH with a best of 1.25 at 60ft. not bad for 3700lbs!

Looks awesome Jim !

Those ET/MPH numbers are very impressive

Finally got mine into the high 10's but traction is now a problem...

There is a little bit left in the comb, 572 with 440-1 345s. Dwayne has a cam in mind that will carry the power a little higher but, will loose a little torque ( now 810). The car hooks up most of the time however, I have been bitten a couple of times during eliminations, so a little loss in torque might help the consistancy. Also considering changing my 750's for a pair of Dominators. Not really big gains left but maybe enough to bump the 8's all motor! The last milestone for Montessa!

Congrats to you! It appears that a combination of the right parts and working your combo paid off.
That's flyin for a 3700 lb car.
Hope you get your "8" soon.

whose converter are you using?And what size and stall?
What does the car normally run in regular air?
You ET numbers are outstanding coming from 440-1 Indy heads.
