Hey guys I did a little more tuning with the Charger and made 841 Horsepower and 839 torque to the wheels on pump gas. I am also live in colorado springs so I am at 6000 ft. above see level. what do think?

sweet

especially at 6000ft altitude
 
That's what forced induction can do for ya....doesn't hurt to have all that displacement either.
 
Very nice!! It will be a ton of fun. How about some specs? Sorry if I missed them some where
 
How much boost? I think you will need to swap the rear tires.
Doug
 
is that a corrected # ?
The correction factor is standard SAE on the printout.
It is corrected most of the dyno pulls i have seen are usually corrected.
Still making big power to the wheels though. the torque is what I am most impressed with, its a blast to drive and very streetable .

It made 15 lbs. of boost on the best pull.
The tires look skinny but there actually 12" wide
 
dont need an intercooler for that boost range?
 
what kind of suspension & chassis work {shocks ? also} has been changed or done to hook 800+hp??
also what kind of trans ??
& what mods to said trans ??,
is it an Auto, which ??
& what converter, what valve body, has anything been done to the trans ??
or if it's a Manual trans & what trans, what clutch & driveline etc. ??
What rear end what gears ??
What rims & tires ??
What is the Charger set-up to do, handle or go fast in a straight line ??
Street/Strip or both ?
it's very difficult, to have a car that handles very well & runs good,
like it should in the 1/4 mile, with out some mods at the track,
for a specific venue/style of racing..

I saw you will be trying to drag race her soon @ Bandimere when the weather warms up,
on another thread here...

It's all about the whole combo...

Just morbidly curious...

good luck, have fun

Thanks Budnicks, I love talking about the charger.LOL
The suspension: I have the Martz chassis 4-link in the back and the Martz chassis front suspension.The front suspension came with sway.I got the welder series universal sway bar kit and fab it to fit the four link.
The Frame: I bought the front frame reinforcing kit from xv performance when they were still around and did the subframe connectors from Mancini.
The Drivetrain: The HEMI 496 CID World block Stage V heads The SuperchargerStore F1-A Procharger with the supercharger store water/methanol kit.
Transmission is a tremec TKO 600 a little on the week side for the torque the car produces.The clutch is a Mccloud twin disk I actually got the very first one he made for the 101/2 flywheel.The rearend is a 8 3/4 braced housing with an aftermarket 489
case 3.73 gears and moser axles. Wilwood brake front and back.
I built the car hoping to do all three. street,Drag and road race/autocross.
I will posts some pics of when I was doing fab.
If you look close at the car there are small details that I did that are hard to notice.
When I get the hood done I will take pics of the grill I made.
 
Hope the 8 3/4 survives that much HP & TQ & the clutch drops!
 
Budnicks Likey,
well rounded build

Thanks for the clarifications & details,
I always like seeing them too
 
Here's the 8 3/4 pinion out of my sons 62 Turbo small block. Street tires and a automatic.

That looks like a stock third member.
I have an aftermarket third member from quick performance that was built to handle 1000 HP.
 
Once the car hooks the 8 3/4 will become a problem. They have limits and with the power level that you have when it hooks the rear end will break. Not trying to be an *** here, it's just the truth....
