Challenger Drag Pak Owners

[Peter Ash]

And I'll be having #064 picked up Monday

[Jeff Teuton]

I don't think there are any dyno sheets. I have been led to believe that most 6.1's made 590 to 600, and I don't know about the 5.7, I suspect 30 or so less. Just the bore difference. 3.92 to 4.055. Everything else the same. The first 5.9 is in build now. I think some of the guys who are up and running have more, about 630-40 based on the slide rule. I don't think all motors are run. Mine wasn't #16. Nice piece. We got it apart.

Stopped by MPR today......looked like a challenger car show....sorry I didn't ask who's they were.....

a couple were done and a couple just got there.....looks like we will see plenty of them on the track this year....

Mike does great job setting them up.......the chassis work was sweet....

His work is awesome....

Ive got an idea, certianly if I were him, after the coming year or so with all these coming out and into his hands if I ever saw another one I would start twitching and foaming at the mouth (ok so more than I already do)....

I wonder if hes had any "Challenger Nightmares" happens to me on almost every car build.....at least 1....

He gave me some numbers and names, I wrote em down but lost the paper....doh !

Talked to them today Eric over there, before 50, not all were run, so youre not alone....odd thing is carbon on SOME electrodes (1 but not BOTH in the same cylinder), fingerprints on pistons and NO carbon in heads, 0, but fuel in the rails...... ?!?!?!

My suggestion TEAR YOUR ENGINE DOWN and Go through it UNLESS Stanton confirms that your engine was run.....AND you can verify by what you see.

Stanton builds good stuff no ifs ands or buts, we had another engine of his and it was dynod and showed that , as well it ran perfect and all was 100%, he didnt get his rep by building junk.........but if youre before #50 and theres a chance you could deep 6 your #matching block.....well tear it down.....check things yourself, these are not "Ready to Run" engines.....I really dont know where that rumor started, but maybe at one point it was supposed to be, but to my understanding that was NOT Stantons, prior to 50 or ? From what Eric said today.

Talk to Stanton yourself, Eric is not part of the DP enignes and didnt have exact details on what was run and what was not......

Cant hurt to check......can hurt not to............our ring gaps were closer than I would like.....just one of several things I would preffer NOT to blame on someone else, then Id be real pissed......at myself

Now the only single person I can point my finger at is me....I preffer it that way with engines.

Its not like theyre going to warranty these things

Chris, to follow up on Mr. Jeff's post on DP #13. I have purchased it from the owner in PA. Mr. Jeff had one on order for me but when I was told that I was getting Cobra Jet #13, I purchased DP #13. 13 was the Lucky number for my Grand Parents. It has a 6.1 mtx but I am changing it out for a 5.7 atx. Hope to see everyone on the track. Good Luck!! PB Candies

Also, DP 40 5.7MTX came with a black front and bumper. Seen 5 others at Auburn Hills that were built the same way. Anyone else have one of them?

do you want to trade the 6.1 for the 5.7 out of car #36.

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

I have been notified that was NOT Al Smyths car.....noone can remeber whos that was at Mikes shop......Al was there that day, but his car I kept thinking was by the door, it was in back.

Mike P has seen several I think if memory serves right that Al Smyths has one....Ive seen 2 (maybe 3, dont know if the one was moved in Mikes shop or a different car....) in person with the black facia.
