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.




Why didnt you go with the 572-13 cnc 385 heads?
I bet you would be well into the 1000 plus horsepower range with your combo. You seem to really have a handle with making it all work.congratz.

Perhaps the scale at that track measures using kilograms?




3700kg = 8140lbs I'm sure Jim meant 3700lbs

I've seen the car and it's all there, full interior, cage etc... But it does have a nice lightweight aluminum block.

The car is wicked fast ; Jim and I ran against each other and it was all over at the 60' mark....all I saw was tail lights all the way down the track.

So what was the weight bias front to rear and left to right? Just curious as a black 68 Charger has ALWAYS been my dream car.

The balance is 51% on the front and 49% on the rear wheels. I didn't op for the 572 heads because we felt that with the weight of the car the 440-1's would pull better on the bottom end. Also, with the exception of custom made, there aren't any readily available headers. I am running TTI 2"x 2 1/8" step headers. I shift at 6600 and run out the back about 7200 RPM's.

Gandhi, I am not very savy with loading photos. My daughter has loaded everything so far. I thought that I figured it out but, NOOOO! Sorry. I'll keep trying. Say, did you have any luck borrowing a tunnel ram? Have you dynoed the motor yet and what are you building? When Dwayne dynoed my motor he tried a 1050 with an Indy single plane manifold. I was not there, and I know the manifold was not the best Indy single plane. I think the tunnel ram was worth 30-40 HP and torque was about the same. If you what the hard numbers you can give Dwayne Porter, Porter Racing heads a call at 802-951=1955. He is also an Indy dealer!

Yes it made power but I know I'm leaving alot on the table. I want to try a tunnelram on the motor and hoping to see gains comparable to yours hopefully. I will be going over to jim kids dyno here in Michigan soon once I get my tunnelram manifold and Iam going to try 2 different cams.Good luck next year with your beautiful car and fantastic combo.Moe
