Alrox, Chrysler provided an engine and trans sitting in the engine bay and that's it. With our equipment we built the headers from scratch in Detroit and brought them back to our facility where we completed the fixturing and provided them with the initial set which is on the Challenger pictured. As of right now there will be 70 total cars built. The MOPAR team gave us their ultimate performance goals and we built the headers to accomodate those goals. Like the Cobra Jets headers we did for Ford, we once again hit it out of the park but this time it was for MOPAR. Will Chevy be next? We hope so. They need to get in on this and we believe the Z28 would be the perfect platform. How does a turnkey "body in white" LSA or LS9 equipped Camaro drag car sound? Come on Chevy, build it.

This cant be true because alrox said there would never be a V10 in a challenger..........Congrats on your accomplishment.

If this is in reference to the other thread, you should re-read it. I said there would never be a street legal V10 Challenger. In fact, it is my last response to you.

I would love to continue that conversation in that thread.

this is a special drag-only car, has no vin or anything else to make it street legal, still a cool car that I'd like to take down the quarter once

Im guessing ATLEAST high 9's NA, considering the 6.1L Drag Pak's are running low low 10's with some running as low as I BELIEVE 9.6's in some good air. If this is a high compression viper engine with a radical cam like the 6.1 drag paks are, it wouldnt shock me at all if this engine is making 700-800HP NA.

Heres a Drag Pak we did some work on. FF to the 3:11 mark to skip over all the trial and error in trying to get it out of the shop. lol

Heres one running 9.90 in the middle of summer.
