Been quite a while since I stopped in to Moparts. For anyone that remembers my Copper '67 Dart GT? It had a W8 small block in it that I destroyed pretty badly about 2 1/2 years ago. I was pretty happy with that engine, but Peterson Fluid Systems crappy single stage oil pump made sure it didn't live a very long life. I parted out anything that was still usable from that mess and moved on. The car just underwent a complete makeover that is still in process. It now has a complete 25.1 Top Sportsman chassis under it with every upgrade I could think of to add. Strange modular floater rear, 34 x 16.5 x 16 MT on Weld bead locks, Strange Ultra Struts up front, etc... It just came home from the chassis shop and is ready to get finished. It will be powered by a stroked Gen 3 hemi (N/A at first and then Procharged). It is real light so we will likely take over any standing N/A Gen 3 hemi record before I go after the overall quickest Gen 3 record. There are a few pic floating around from my build if anyone followed it on Facebook.

With that said, Im getting ready to build headers and if I remember correctly there was a few people here that had the Pipemax software. It there anyone that would mind checking how close my thoughts are on header sizing? I have all of the specs.

Good to see your still around. Just-a-dart is doing a Gen 3 in my old chassis, we will have to see who get's that NA record first wink Didn't you put a BB in the dart briefly after the SB?

Good to see you post again! Sounds like a fun ride.

Bigcube you know I am just looking for a little quicker bracket combo, not a record breaker.

LOL, how hard could the NA record be to beat? I'm guessing 9 something? wave

It's looking awesome Brian!!

Bigcube - I know he bought BB, but don't think it ever made it into the car. I could be wrong though.

The BB never made it into the car. It was a fitment issue that I would have had to spend a bunch on to get it in there and then I would have still had a car I probably couldn't hook. Threw it all out and have alot of tire now that I can hook in a wheat field.

You know how mundane my engine combo is. It's not even close to being any kind of max effort. If it was, I could easily make this car go 7's. The fact is that it would cost just as much to go 7's na that 6's with boost.

I don't have an official online album, but I will try to post one here. Has posting pics become easier on here without having to link to a host?

Very nice! While I'm sorry to hear about the previous carnage it has forced you into evolving the car as a whole into a beauty! Good work
