08 SRT 8 Charger Project

Recommended Posts

This is my buddys car that we just started on. He sent it to 402 Motoring in New Jersey last year and won best of show several times when he got it back. He was not real happy with the workmanship on his car and has decided to go in a different direction. It is going to stay a street car but we plan on drag racing it as much as possible and still maintaining some show quality. This thing should make around 1100 RWHP with the direction that we are going with it and we should have it ready by next Spring. I am not a Mopar guy but this build is proving to be pretty fun so far.

This is the same one everyone saw for 50k$ and made fun of it.

 

 

 

This thread will not end well.

 

 

I talked with the owner at Quaker steak a couple weeks ago.

 

Can't wait to see progress and finished product. Going to be sweet.

 

Srt8's are very easy to hit 1000hp mark. Just takes the $$$$$

50K??

I think you might be thinking of someone else. The car has been in Cincinnatti for the last 2 or 3 months. He didnt have it out more than a handful of times last year because he had all kinds of problems with it after he got it back from 402 in New Jersey.

He wanted to sell because of the issues. I know the car and have plenty of pictures of it from mopar car shows.

 

Of course the Craigslist add is closed but this is the thread.

Tell Billy to join for god sakes.

 

I mentioned it to him a couple of times. I will say something to him this evening.

HA HA WOW. Well I guess your right :). He never told me that he tried to sell it. I can tell you that he probably does have 50k in that car. I know what he spent in NJ. He got his angus ripped apart in NJ. I warned him about taking it up there. When I was pulling the motor out, I seen some of what they did and they hacked pretty much everything they did. It looked good at a glance but once we started taking the car apart, the poor workmanship was evident. I also told him that he will never get his money back out of this car, even with what we are doing to it now. I talked him in to going fast and I think the bug has a hold on him now. He is wanting to call all out on it. He has been talking about buying an SRT 8 Jeep now too.

I like the looks of it. If the power levels mentioned above are met, it will be that much more sexy.

We are still putting the motor together on paper but it is more than likely gonna be getting an F1A Procharger and a fogger.

 

with the new high res pics yea its nicely done but still not my cup o tea

 

Like I said, the work that they did looks ok at a glance but once we dug in to the car we found a ton of problems. Almost everything that they did was wrong or just slapped together.

426CI HEMI, TWIN TURBO's. That'll get him to 1000

 

Yes it would :).

He was originally wanting to do a 426 and I talked him out of it. The 4 fastest modern mopars are all running BES motors. I spoke with Bischoff and he said that only 1 of them is a 426. Billy spoke with Mike, that has the Blue Super Bee. He ran 9.00 with his 6.1, procharger and a single hit on 225hp pills. I think he said he was making 1149 at the wheels and I am wanting to say at 14psi but I am not 100% on that..
