NHRA has the 440 derated to 356HP. SS/HA is 9.5 lb/factored HP, minimum race weight 3382 plus 170 for driver, 3552 total. To run 10.2 at that weight in average/decent air requires about 650 dyno HP.

New background
Yeah, that Charger looks great, and I made it my new background last night. Just now, my 8 year old daughter got off the laptop and came out in the living room and said, "Dad, you have an awesome new computer screen."

Yhe car is a 440/375. NHRA rated at 356. 10.5 lbs/HP in H puts it at 3908lbs. Not a competitive package but a real cool car.

SS/H is 9.5 lbs/factered HP, not 10.5, I is 10.0, J is 11.0. The 440 combo is limited by the carb and head castings a bit more than the 383. The 383 is an overall faster combo, de-factored to around 300HP. The Charger in question is a cool car and looks like a fun ride, hope he has great success with it.

Not to argue but that Charger has a factor of 10.23 as of today. That makes it a natural G car. So moving it up to 10.5 makes it an H car. In Stock it is a natural E car.

I think I heard that the women that drove it is the CEO of In-n-Out Burger. That's pretty cool!

I was a digit off. Most appologetic. Been spending too much time in Stock. Still a heavy car for any class.

Val was racing a '68 Charger R/T at the Winternational a few weeks back. Definitely a awesome looking car to see launch.
