Stinkeye Challenger build....

Turn key race truck, outstanding. Is that what it'll really run in the 1/8th?

Yes. My Hellcat ran 5.2 on a 8.2 quarter. This thing is set up for 1/8 with a 5.13 gear. I’ll be going to a 4.56 for the quarter so in good air maybe see high 7’s.

50k?!?!? You sir got the deal of the century

Yes. Very lucky. And thank goodness it didn’t happen because of some health or financial disaster.

Just got the build sheet and dyno numbers. The corrected numbers are what we’ll be seeing in the cool winter air out at Bakersfield CA in December. This was done in the south Florida summer stuff that replaces the air down there.

Getting the truck ready for SCSN at Vegas in two weeks. The thing was set up for 1/8 mi and we don’t have any tracks out here anymore that do that. There are no big tire classes that run the 1/8th that I could be competitive in so changing the rear gear is a necessity. The Wallace calculator says that 165 mph with a 33.5 tire needs a 4.29 gear to keep the rpm below 7500. So out came the 5.14’s. Because nothing EVER goes as planned…. It was a 28 spline pinion 🤨. My new 4.29 is a 35 spline (as it should be) so that required replacing the whole pinion support including a new yoke. All done now and as strong as a 9” gets 👊. Back home and ready to go 😎
