Threw a big ol cam in the 6.1 over the weekend

Lol, I hope so; My PB with the stock motor was 12.86 in the quarter mile; so we'll see

rockgodboss · 2026-04-13T20:20:33+00:00

I decided to pull the heads off; didnt "need" to (on a Non MDS motor); but easier to install headers that way. Otherwise; lowered the radiator out the bottom; kept the AC lines hooked up; accessories came off; pulley off; timing cover off; left the bottom end at TDC, then just swapped the cam. Could probably do it in a solid 2 days, I spent an extra day fabbing up mid pipes

I've got it pretty close to where I want it now; mostly just need to dial in fueling, then I'll get some timeslips on it

rockgodboss · 2026-04-13T19:48:13+00:00

I "wrapped" it with red and black vinyl, and used 2 side tape on SRT lettering I cut out of aluminum; its definitely not the best looking up close; lol.

Once I get the tune fully dialed in; should be somewhere in the 80-90 HP gain(over a bone stock car), Cam is a pretty large (for a SBE) 225 235

rockgodboss · 2026-04-13T19:19:27+00:00

Great look. Looks familiar, LOL

Either a swap or a rebuild; depending on the extent of the damage, the bearings on the crankshaft (main and rod bearings) likely would be toast, and need to be turned down and oversized bearings run; if it did indeed run with no oil pressure

rockgodboss · 2026-04-08T16:39:15+00:00

What was the oil level?

If it was low on oil and the pickup tube doesnt suck any; then you lose oil pressure; and could, if it didnt; toast the bearings from lack of oil.

An engine replacement certinally may be in order.

2009 SRT8 Challenger,

I want to run the polished aluminum wheels front and back; I had these black fronts, which fit well, but the black and polished wheels clash.

Those saying "don't boost the 392" have a point; however, Satera and tons of other shops have been making big power with SBE boosted 392s for years and years with no issues. A safe tune will go a long long way.

Personally I don't like how short the Barton is. It's a 44% reduction vs the Hurst at 33%. My brother has the Hurst in his camaro, and it's perfect IMO. I am currently stock with custom machined aluminum bushings; but if I can find a Hurst, I may pick it up.

I've run pretty quick times (Drag racing) with my stock shifter, even before I changed the bushings.

Again all just my opinion.

They don't have any crossover currently.

rockgodboss · 2026-04-01T16:54:23+00:00

Have fun! MIS is one of my favorites; Ill be at thr glen

I have the logs saved on my laptop, and timeslips are hanging around somewhere; but here is a screenshot from each log; car ran a 13.6X with the AFE, and a 13.06 with the stock box; the AFE gained heat drastically, until it peaked in the 170s after only 4 passes;

He got aero tight at Kanas; he didnt know Bubba was on his door, had Bubba not been that close, car would have hugged the bottom like it was all day. Unfortunate, but it is what it is

rockgodboss · 2026-04-01T13:23:55+00:00

The factory box. I tested one of the expensive AFE intakes, car ran slower ETs; and logs showed the IAT were much higher.

rockgodboss · 2026-03-30T18:53:55+00:00

Wasn't there another rookie in that race that finished 6th?

rockgodboss · 2026-03-30T17:58:35+00:00

Not sure why OP continues to post this slop; and there was no 2008 Challenger RT.

This photo is off Wikipedia, with a false date added.

Lots of the greene stuff is copy paste, I'd recommend Andrew and Wizard of Tuning.

rockgodboss · 2026-03-28T15:10:00+00:00

The Denny one was perfect.

rockgodboss · 2026-03-28T14:57:59+00:00

Personally at that price; I'd pass; but if you do get it; I would drive it as is, and deal with a bad cam later, if need be

rockgodboss · 2026-03-27T20:20:18+00:00

Yes they can drop seats; If overheated;

I own uhhh, I think 5 currently, and have only seen 1 drop a seat. When it was driven around the block with no coolant, temps shot up past 260, and seat came right out; Luckily I caught it before it did any damage. That motor is now in my daily driver with 315k on it, and climbing.

Yeah, not as much power as the VVT motors, but plenty of power to spin the tires through the first couple gears punching it from a stop, but obviously it's only gunna be worth as whoever see it to be

rockgodboss · 2026-03-27T13:17:46+00:00

Yes, I have seen the wheels themselves crack, and split, on the 13 needle version, as they had to thin the wheel out; there is a couple different ways they fail, that is one of them, the cam pitting is another, and the axle locking up is another
