2016 Hellcat Charger with drag radials has done 10.7 in the 1/4 by some trade rags, with a few upgrades, it would be in the 9s. BUT, you toss a blower on a Pontiac, where do you think you would be? Or even just build an IA2 for the $40k+ you would save?

That will be my next street engine..either a procharged engine,or a 500plus cube and run mid to low 10's and a full street car.I really want to see a Hellcat run..especially at the slippery track I run at..I don't mind getting beat...I eventually come back and beat every street car that beats me!

I was this [] close to finishing my procharger 455 build, XFI, sequential, and decided it would be easier to build a 535 or 555. Just recently sold the procharger, intercooler, ECU stuff, intake, throttle body, and injectors too. Just easier to do it NA.

Got a fresh, never had fluid, TKO600 RR, full kit from Keisler, McLeod blow proof, and a McLeod street twin, will sell all that too, going to a 4L80E. Funny how time changes things.

I have Torque Tech tail pipes on my 'bird, fit excellent, but they're 2.5s. At the time, the 70-73 exhaust tips were only available in 2 1/4, so I cut the ends at an angle like the OE tips, and had the whole tail pipes chromed. They look great still, but will probably go to 3" after hearing your results Skip.

I have a collector-back Pypes kit, still in the box, will probably sell that too...

I'm always thinking about the next build or phase...I've always loved stock appearing cars...I'd like to make my car more stockish outside in the future..much like a stock 80 trans am,snow flake rims,special edition stripes,stock interior,stock shifter but with a roll bar,and run low 10's...

You will also need SFI approved belts, trans shield/blanket, balancer, flexplate, a driveshaft loop and an engine diaper, but you need most of that stuff right now anyway. Your car is very impressive. I think your car will become an example of what a lot of people will want to do with their street cars given the rear gear you use and the times you run. A real street/strip car that can run real low 11s with a 3.08 gear.

I still say steeper gears, bigger cam, and an OD trans would make a world of difference, and still have the streetability you have now.
