There you go, well be pulling our motor after Gainesville and going with a more "trick" setup, well use the other as our backup. Im hoping the 2nd motor is done by then...(Im doing it so if its not its noones fault but mine)

Why the 360 out of curiosity ? I know the reasons I might have chosen it but Im curious about the people that actually did....

I figure Irvin Johns will find all the details, and then we can steal them. Cheap & Easy

We ran that motor for years in T/STK. Have run as fast as 9.52 @ 138 with it @ 2900 lbs in our Duster that we currently run in GT/FA. With the old T/STK motor with narrowed runners and dome pistons removed we ran 9.85 @ 132 @ 3075 lbs in GT/FA @ Reynolds in Oct. and it is now EFI Fast System. Still on 9" tires, still footbraking. Funny that the 360 combo was almost exactly what we ran for years. The cam is just north of legal for stock eliminator and has stock hydraulic rollers. So I thought I would try the motor in H/SA. I don't think I can get it to minimum cause I weigh just south of 300.

Please keep the thread going. I'm a big fan of the new Challengers and really enjoy hearing the inside scoop.
