Wasn't going to start this for a couple weeks yet, but since it's already been brought up in another thread, and in an effort to keep that thread clear of My own goal oriented stuff.......here goes nothing!
When I set out to put the Charger into the 10's several years ago, it didn't seem that daunting of a task. Even though I was purposely limiting myself by laying down some ground rules and believing it could be done on the stock turbo roller cam and ported stock turbo exhaust mani in a street legal full bodied S/C.
When I finally acheived that goal a couple years ago, it was a huge relief. Not so much because I was able to do it without compromising my own guidlines, but because of the built up anxiety in those around me, brought on by the very limitations that those guidlines demanded.
So, no surprise that I wanted to just take it easy for a couple years and see what may, or may not be next. (That and I had a ton of other family stuff and personal matters that took a lot of my time)
Fast forward to a couple weeks ago. I'm working in the shop, staring at the Charger thinking how easily it has done what it's done. (don't tell my bro I said this or he'd kill me!) I'm not weighing the time here, I'm talking strictly of the task and what needed doing to acheive it.
The first couple years we were simply handcuffed by the larger inj's and being rich down low and not having the means to adjust fast enough (this proved to be very frustrating for several members of my "Team" because they prob thought, after we sailed into the mid 11's on an even simpler build, that the same thing was going to happen here. Rob says 10's are the goal, should be no problem! lol)
It's funny looking back, that the Charger has done so well, and gotten Better the faster we've gone has ment everything to me, but to Brent it has only ment that I haven't driven it hard enough.....yet!
Now, that may be true, but either way, I'm sitting in my shop, staring at a car that I NEVER would have even concidered thinking about 9's with, and I'm thinking about it!
So, before I divulge what my limitations are going to be this time, (I'm sure most of you can guess them) I want to here from the peanut gallery. One person has already made a list of what they think needs doing. (which was hilarious considering the timing of all this!)
Is it possible, and if so, what do You think I'm going to have to do (and possibly "give up") to get there?
