Luuuuv low compression ..... Listen when it is coming off the trailer.

Is that thing unable to idle on it's own, or am I mistaken?

When you run a pretty radical cam with a power band between 4000 to 8000 plus RPMs, they have a rough idle like that.

Pretty nice Car and a ton of money when in to it.

 

[JDiepstra]

That is a pretty awesome lope, but is that bad for the car? Pretty much just a track car now correct?

 

[rbattelle]

I still think a "proper" supercharger(s) sticks up out of the hood. Like Mad Max's car.

With such low compression at idle the engine is WICKEDLY sensitive to the slightest change in pressures. Combine that with a boost retarder for ignition that constantly is changing advance with rpm rise and you get an insane lope like that. This setup was roumored to be 980 HP at the wheels.

Do you think you could have an electric clutch on it to engage it too? like Mad Max's

We already covered that...

[Bill Lins]

I want to hear it when it's wound up as tight as Dick's hatband! ;-)

 

[Dl5treez]

Two Questions... .



1) Why?





2) Where do I get one?





Oo.

 

[MMeier]

Awww....

... looks like another trailer queen to me !! Lets see some video of it actually being driven now!

 

[BigEasy]

sounds like a third grader tuned it...

YouTube - INTERCEPTOR engine sound



That is a sweet Challenger.

 

[mopars1]

The engines that idle like that are using a mechanical fuel injection setup. The camshaft does have a lope, but that is not what is causing this type of idle.

 

[HOBrian]

I would have liked a look under the hood!#@$%!

 

[Steve St.Laurent]

Here you go - Street Legal TV : RDP Motorsport does it all at PRI 2008 . Stick with it, it's about halfway through the video.

 

[C. Harlan]

It sounds just like a friend's 50' Ocean Express with twin blown motors, each 1300 HP... I love that nasty lope!! It sounds good when you're on the lake, around a bunch of "little" boats, and everyone is looking...

The Challenger is one hell of a ride, the srt8 is a steal.

AH, for the "good 'ol days" of hi-octane fuels, commonly done engine swaps, and pre-EPA mandates that have virtually killed the volume of aftermarket, street driven goodies of the years of my youth!



I well remember the startup of HotRod magazine in my high school days, and the often featured service station in LA that provided many engine swaps that were then pictured in the magazine, complete with detailed photos and driving reports. Easy availability of hi-octane gasoline made the superchargers both practical and popular - but those days are gone forever, and cars like those pictured in this thread are purely special purpose, off-street types - uneconomical and impractical for much more than static displays and track usage. :{
