Reds 72 Challenger!! • 2 • The Dodge Challenger Message Board

They are great! That is what me and Eddie both use. Mine is modified to hell though. :wink:

Id like to get one then I can be your gang...the six pack three amigos.....are they difficult to install??

by **Eddie** » 11 Jan 2008 20:23

They are more difficult to tune than install, at least thats what I thought, of course Dave and I use a much more aggressive camshaft. One that keeps the intake valve open longer than a stock cam would. Then there is the transition from idle to Wide Open Throttle,(W.O.T.). This can cause some "grief" to the tuner that wants a fast accelerating car versus one that bogs momentarily then runs like a scalded cat. I would seriously consider a Pro-Max type modded six-pack if the engines been modified any especially the camshaft. If not then you can order a stock set-up and let Dave tune it for you. :lol:

(Honestly it's not that bad, I just wanted a car that ran as good as it looked and my standards are very high in that regard).

aah, i did see the first post in this thread before, and thought that was just a video you wanted to show, i never realized (and must have missed to read the continuation..) you actually bought another Challenger Red!?

How cool! My car also looked like that from factory, Red/Black vinyl... What are you planning to do with it? Engine mods? Colour? Street or strip useage? etc...? Tell me... And post some up to date pics while processing... :thumbsup:

It's definitely a '71' with an R/T hood. I bet it's also 383 Magnum powered with 727-B and 8 3/4 '489' cased rear with 3.23 eh Wayne? :lol:

by **Eddie** » 09 Jul 2008 2:36

I was thinking 70 but entered 71 Drew! ( I remember Wayne and his mate posing in front of his 70 I think the yellow one) :lol:

by **RedRaven** » 09 Jul 2008 7:28

Well guys its all a bit confusing cause its a 72 but it has had a lot of messing done with it, its was 318 then a 440- a couple of wheel changes etc, I also think the grill and hood were changed!!
