New MOPAR HEMI Smoked by GoodfellaFD3s Ported 3rd Gen
:rlaugh: So, I'm driving South on the highway and it's around 37 degrees Fahrenheit, 10:30PM and the traffic's light. My ProFec-B is set to its' lowest setting since the engine is newly rebuilt.
My New Motor Rebuild, shortblock and street-port (intakes mostly and little off the Exhausts please) was done by "GoodfellaFD3S" @ IRP. The engine now has arount 842 total miles on the clock so far. I have the boost on the ProFec-B turned to it's lowest setting. But, the engine feels amazing strong tonight. Anyway, something moving REAL fast began closing on my ass. The appoaching driving lights caught my attention as he rapidly closed the distance between us. A new Gold or yellowish HEMI (I caught a glimpse of his HEMI-badge), dual exhaust, stock factory wheels etc. sedan blasts by, pulsing the trottle as he goes.... Jeeeze, talk about temptation..... !! :cool: GoodfellFD3S had cautioned me on breaking the new engine in easy for the first 1,000 to 1,500 miles before romping on it. But, I figure, what hell !!! :devil: It isn't everyday a muscle car of any flavor begs for an ass-wooping! And, to be honest, I really didn't expect much performance at this boost setting and was more interested to see just how badly this new MOPAR Iron would pull on me. :gotrice: So I downshifted to 3rd and fire-walled the pedal. I upshifted 4th at 7K RPM and ripped past this guy. I figured, hell, he'd let up and was just doing a short blast. But, when he realized this little red "whatever-it-was" he'd just passed was now flying past his drivers door, he got back in it.... His engine was pretty distinctive.... and throaty as he floored it. He started to close the distance between us but couldn't seem to finish the job. :fruit: I upshited to 5th and kept going. As our speeds exceeded 130 the highway began to curve to the right and I could feel the lateral "Gs" multiply and build. I felt my nose squat and tuck in and my ass get a little loose. But, otherwise the car settled in a stable track and I kept building speed. Now, I was glad I had the Tikicos and the lowered springs. The REX was in its' element and things were getting serious. The steet port was starting to really make a difference at these speeds and the engine seemed to build top end velocity much faster than I ever remembered. I was especially surprised given the lowered boost settings I'd dialed in for the breakin. And, yet, the engine felt much stronger than I ever remembered or experienced from the old motor. :suitdance Now, granted, the Turbos are BRAND NEW.....and the entire Motor freshly Ported and rebuilt by GoodfellaFD3S, but I'd not expected such a performance difference of the new Versus old. This was freakin GREAT !!! :tank: Anyway, the MOPAR lost his nerve at around 145mph :bigeyes: and didn't even try to continue our little game. And, much to my surprise, he could never seem to close gap between us or ever get into an overtake position inspite of the open road. :rock: The highway was like 5 lanes wide with NO traffic for our entire blast... he just didn't have the beans pull or out pace me. Surpised me as much as him, I'm sure!! Anyway, Thanks for the Outstanding rebuild GoodfellaFD3s.... You did one hell of a Job !!! :bowdown: :worship: I guess you clearenced those side-seals just right !! :bigthumb: |

Nice, I've wondered how my car would do against one of those...was it the 340 horse hemi, or the 6.1 liter SRT-8 with 425 hp?

Don't Know

Imagine yourself ripping down the PCH, on a 1000+ cc crotch-rocket doing triple digits.... If a Hayabusa rips past... :eek: ya don't exactly have time to exchange MODs.... :crzyeye: .... But it sounded mean !!:Kill2: |
[disclaimer: the OP is my dad, so I was obligated to give him a serious port :D]
Good kill......time to get rid of your worn out S03s before you kill yourself. Oh, and btw.....your warranty=void :lol: |
Nice kill. Given the mods to your FD, I'd say it was definately an SRT-8. HOWEVER... you probably should have resisted the temptation to race and fully broken in your motor first.
|
Uh huh

You called a new Dodge/Chrysler a muscle car. NO!
But nice kill. If it was an SRT8, it would've given you a run for your money. And you raced a Dodge Charger it seems. Did it look anything like this? It's hard to tell an SRT8 from a normal charger aside from the rims, hood scoop, and badges. I don't think it was an SRT8 though, those cars run 13's in stock form. |
:lol: at this thread!!
nice kill |
they are probably about as quick as a RX8
as others have already said- if it was a SRT8 it has alot more going for it In the future dont even waste your gas. |
they run about mid to low 13's but they're definately not muscle cars

thats not the srt8 thats the rt 300hp daytona version, YOULL KNOW THE srt from the red badge, & the srt is a little faster than a stock fd,
And yes, the SRT8's are faster, I would hope so pushing out 420hp and 420lb-ft. |
/\ With Over 4000lbs,

good job

Yep that's the one

Anytime I need a HEMI FIX... I head cross town to my buddy's shop... here's his shop link http://mysite.verizon.net/bizu3we9/
So, I'm pretty familiar with the unique HEMI sound. There's nothing like em. It's that rumpty rump of King Kong all pissed off and fired up that is just unmistakeable.... So.. . Yeah, that car was a HEMI.... not some HEMI wanna-be..... To be fair, .... HEMI cars are strait line runners.... and the REX is king of the high speed road-race course. When setup right they'll turn and burn with the most exotic cars on the planet.... So, Mr. HEMI was at a disadvantage. We'd gotten to a long right hand sweeper and I'd already upshifted to 5th.... Personally... I'm not so sure of the outcome had this been a 1/4mile type contest. Last Time I looked, CUBES rule! BTW, Mike rebuilt my trans and is a transmission wiz. He did an amazing job on mine and, It's better than new... For those who are thinking of shipping their trans for a rebuild.... you might want to check him out. :icon_tup: |

Start Conditions
[quote=rowtareh;7596003]Did he take you off the start though?
I am not surprised you beat an SRT8 though. It's a heavy car, with a MUCH lower redline than a 13B-REW. Nice kill.[/quote :rolleyes:Check karken29s first posting.... the entire encounter was on a major highway, at highway speeds.... and totally impulsive. So, NO. He never came to a complete stop.... In one of his later postings, He was speculating on the outcome had he raced the HEMI from a dead stop... :uhh: |

If I read that, I would've said nice kill. :) No harm done. |
LMFAO
nice one! |
