The Dodge Challenger Message Board

Hello.
As you know I broke the hughes 727, probably making the burn out or probably due the high torque of the new engine.

Now i have installed a new 727 from Frank Lupo's advised for John Arruzza, my engine builder.

I'm not sure about the way to make the burn out correctly, each one have his own receipt.

I've installed the roll brake system to make it easier and I think, once connected, the best way is insert the first gear with the roll brake on, push the gas at medium throttle until 3000-4000 rpm. Once the smoke is visible (3-4 seconds with MT et street radials) release the brake and let the car go stright few meters until it is almost stopped itself. All in first gear.

What do you think about it?

Thanks.

ask dave i think you might want to shift to 2 nd at some point,as i my self broke a sprag not shifting,im not sure though, but thats what happened to me

Don't use first gear. Start in second and shift to 3rd, then release the line lock and ease off the throttle gently.

There is a "sticky" thread on this at the top of this transmission section of the board.

Sorry Dave, I'm going to check the sticky.
Thanks.
