Re: Some "Dime Rockets" for the 4TH!
 
I had to look at it now that I opened my mouth. So hopefully I'm close. If not forgive me. The Dodge 3.5L SOHC is listed as 250 hp and ended in 2010 models. The 3.6L DOHC V6 is rated as 305 hp. 8 speed transmissions came into play 2015. The same 3.6L in a Charger is rated 292 (exhaust or tune better in the Challenger?). Now at the same time the 5.7 Hemi is rated at 376 hp and is in the book at 300. If either V6s were in the book, which they should be. I would think those combos should get the same percentage off on their advertized Hp ratings to start. Not like there is a mad rush to build street 5.7 Hemis either. Some younger folks like new cars. Me too!

Have a 2008 Solstice GXP that's ready to be built, looking for a partner on the build if you or anyone is interested.

How about a 1980 Trans Am 301 turbo 210/223 natural O car. seems like an easy combination.

Smedley/Unterseh have been doing these for years. They might argue the "Dime Rocket" label with you.

Rick Unterseh has an '81 he runs in O and P...I'm pretty sure Neil Smedley built the car originally. Not a bad combo...but a sensitive engine.

Soooooo, who is Andrew Fidler DF/S '05 Cobalt? He sounds like my kinda guy! The word that I got was that he drove the car in. A little bit more improvement and he should be under the index anywhere.

I don't think so, Glenn. Not too many guys will build their own headers for these one off combos..I only know of two. But, we'll see ;-)
