Mr. Jeff and his pink Challenger

Hey Kevin, congratulations on your fourth Stock championship. I think it's really cool that Jeff built this car and painted it to increase awareness of breast cancer and in tribute to his wife. My question still stands though. How do you get 105 hp off a combination without ever going down the track? Look at the specs on that 392 Hemi motor. That thing is really good. It made 485 hp through the mufflers and cats with all the accessories hooked up, SAE net hp. This kind of deal is what made most of us angry about the new factory race cars in our class.

Look at the competition in B/SA. Allen's car is probably the fastest right now, but it's rated 40 hp less than the Camaros and Firebirds. Jim Boudreaux's car is the fastest of the old cars, 396-375 rated at 405. Maybe 485 is too much for the 392, but my guess is 380 is really soft. The other combination for that car is the 5.7 Hemi, factory rated at 375, defactored to 300. That combination should be better than the LS 1's which is 382 in the Camaro and Firebirds. I don't understand how these kinds of things get done.

One more thing is that the hood on the pink car only came on a 2010 SRT Challenger which came with a 5.7 motor only. You guys with the 69 Camaros that had the cowl hoods might want to point this out.
