If it can be done for 40-50k then it may be worth it. That's just my opinion. Also it would weigh 4205 in D!

SRT-8 Challengers go for around $45K on the dealer's lots. I have not seen too many go for less than that yet. I can't see it being much cheaper than a DP car by the time it's finished.

I call bull**** on Drooze and his buddy being close to the 9's with an overbore, cam, and headers. If he's going that fast he's boosting it.

The Hemi cars have the same problem my '04 GTO does. Great motor, but a drivetrain made of wet spaghetti. I've seen the Charger guys make swizzle sticks out of driveshafts more than once.

To me, it looks like the DP or CJ would be the way to go, although I have a buddy who is tearing it up with a Slant 6 in V/SA for a hell of a lot less money.

That was my thinking. I thought it would be just as costly as a Drag Pak. I don't see these things running 10.50 at 4205 that's nearly 1000 lbs. heavier than the 6.1 Drag Pak in AA! Even in C it's still 4000 lbs. According to Wallace Racing calulator it would take 718 flywheel HP to run 10.50 at 4205.
