Have a 68 Charger that I want to get to 11.5 in quarter. I don’t know what the car weighs but should be a few hundred pounds less than stock.
The car has:
400/511 440 source stroker 600HP/650TQ at 4500 RPM on pump gas
727 (sportsman series) built by Protrans. Billet internals, reverse manual valve body, 3400-3800 stall
Cheeta shifter
Strange S-60 with 3:55 gears
New rear springs from ESPO, 6 leaf HD
Super Sniper w/ hyperspark
Walbro 255LPH intank pump. 3/8 pressure line 1/2 return line
1 7/8 TTI with complete 3-inch exhaust, X pipe, super turbo mufflers
QA1 adjustable shocks all corners
Chassis stiffened with torque plates and frame connectors
Street car. Runs excellent but now I want to race it. Engine built for torque. Am looking to go 11.5. Car will not get a roll cage. I want to keep the 3:55 gears
Need advice on what to do next. Car has never been to track so I don’t know what it will run now. Car will not hook up. Absolutely need better tires. Fuel system designed for street, not race. No issues with fuel starvation so far but never pushed the car to max on street
I did this car not to race but to have a fun street car. I spent a few years upgrading the car’s systems to match current power level, but I never intended to race the car. Until now. I have about 8 months to get where I need to be.
