BMC Challenger R/T - New Engine Build ... a First in Many Ways!

Cool, getting closer to a full boogie rock and roll.

 

damn this thing isnt done yet?

 

Welcome to the Hemi world

However with that said no one has built a stroker based on the new VVT Eagle Head 5.7L Hemi, well not until now, so that takes a bit of time. 2.5 months isn't really that bad starting from scratch New Motor, New S/C w port matching and new cog drive pulley setup Heck some companies can't get a standard 426 built and shipped in that time lol!

 

ouch!!! lol

 

Very true.

Ouch, that has to sting. lol

 

i bet it does...... lol

 

My new BILLET throttle body arrived from Arrington today!! This thing is SWEET!!!!!! 90mm all billet with the ports for nitrous ... too cool. Here are some quick pics from my iPhone ...











Thanks Arrington!!!

 

Damn i want one of those, and do a port match to my manifold...thanks for the pics.

 

I am shipping the new throttle body to Techco today so the supercharger inlet can be port-matched for the 90mm throttle body. Whoohoo, this is going to be sick!!

 

I would hope that it would be healthy, not sick. hahahahahaha

This is gonna be a bad ass build for sure. Now HURRY up already. hehe

 

when is this motor arriving at BMC?

i thought i saw soemwhere that it was shipping out.

 

instigator.....:sly:

 

what?? me??? nawwww

I just want to see people show up at the track on race day. lease:

 

Today is the day I've been looking so forward to ... my new Techco 397 stroker with the first ported supercharger arrived!! This is the first VCT 5.7 stroker and we're excited to be installing it in my Challenger R/T tomorrow.



Compression: 8.5:1
Boost: 10 psi
Belt: Gilmer
Cam: Stock*
RWHP: TBD
RWTQ: TBD

*Yes, we are using the stock cam for now, as the ones Techco is having made aren't ready yet. I do have a .607 lift cam (thanks Arrington) which should see incredible gains, but Johan at Diablo needs to do some more research on tuning for this set-up, so we are going to run the set-up as Techco built it, with the stock cam, and do a "phase 2" next spring. Also, during the phase 2, we'll upgrade to a cog drive system and turn up the boost substantially, among other things. Why am I waiting until then? I am pregnant, and due in February so my high speed driving and racing will be quite limited for a while. I'm going to try and get to the track here soon though, while I can still fit in the car.



Thanks again to Carlos, Billy and everyone at Techco who contributed to this build. You guys are great and I appreciate all your efforts!!

 

Holy Hellfire. Shit's bout to get ROWDY!!!!!

 

Rock on!!! this is going to be one beast of a challenger!!!!!
