But I must admit it was big fun for sure ! ! ! !

Lol....it sounds like it would be, I can top 40 I think, if I put an expansion chamber on it, wow....who knows....(46 maybe)

My "power" on the cart use has been getting it up with a bigger carb and the HC piston for "towing" use, and I can pull a 4000lb car with no issue even up a grade. But I just put the new Goodyear 19x7.50x10 slicks on it and really slick ultralight rims (leftovers from my sons Jr well never run

So the ratio should be a bit taller..lol...I love my cart, like everything else here (except the challenger DP) Crusty rusty, and mechanically A1...my $200 beast (ok now its up to $245 with the Tillston rebuild kit and somother parts)

Maybe I should put some Articat stickers on it and call it a Snowmobile for ins purposes

Check to see if you need the trans shield, window net, certified chassis, and the better fire suit for starters. I think the 6.1 DP cars falls SS/DA or EA ( can I say Mustang ss/da @ 9.08) and I think you need the cage, shield, net, and chassis there. I am planning on being there is SS/JA, and you should see how big a blanket a XXX L fire suit is. Must be 10 yards of material in that thing.

[Chris "drooze" Wertman]

Weve got all that, cage certed, net, and trans shield, Ive got to check on the Suit, I think its ok, could be wrong, which means probably am wrong.

Well be running a 5.7, bummer is I just sold a set of monster ported heads not too long ago they would have been great for this. Sold em because I couldnt run em in stock and they sat on the shelf for a year, oh well.

I think I can run SS/JA with this combo , if all is well that would be fun, and history as it were the first 2 Challenger DP's running in SS together....

Be careful with monster ported heads. There are max volumes you must adhere to.

Theyre gone, I got rid of em because they were useless for any stock project, and they werent a double spring conversion so not "safe" for street use on a monster, I also got rid of the 392 we had that was going to "originally" be the DP Motor (when they were supposed to be 6.4's) so anything not legal or usefull went bye bye instead of collecting more dust.

But Ill be running SS with Stocker legal heads, it would have been cool to throw on a set of very niceley CNC ported heads for the SS run.

just depends on how "stock" your "stocker" is.

[Jeff Teuton]

In SS/IA you are @ 3355 lbs, in SS/JA you are 3525 with the 5.7. The car is a natural SS/IA car so you can run H, I, or J. 3070 lbs for SS/GA. All weights include driver @ 170 lbs

Bone Stock 2009 Challenger DP As stock as any. All Approved stuffs and Well its a stock Drag Pak,

Im "on the fence" about running it I or J, 3355 is about where its at with me in it and leaving the Accumulator in, as well as putting a few "Oem" I can make 35xx legally with weight and the replacment of some OE items that I found lighter conterparts for and were legal to replace, I just dont know if I feel like doing that work.

Im thinking ill take the parts along for the ride and depending entirley on how it runs out in testing Ill make a decision.

Jeff can you run KA ? No record there

For what its worth... a few years back I saw Dan Fletcher race his Checkmate Super Stocker in S/G at E-Town national event. If the shoe fits... go for it.

you may want to hook up the transbrake and go off the bottom bulb..may be better for your reaction times..unless you can footbrake pretty good...
not sure if you are familiar with the buttons they use so here is one example(if your even interested)
