some people here know me some dont but I feel like shring my story I am currently starting the next level of my "I want to run mid 12s build"
I got a 2010 Charger R/T in 2010 I bought it ran 13.3 the day after I bought it and said if I could get it to run mids 12s I would be good. by the end of the the year I ran 12.6s but of course that wasn't good enough I added more bolt ons and ran 12.30s the in 2012. after while I wanted even more in 2014 I decided I was going to go faster and thats where this story truly starts.
I wanted to get in the 11s so I was going to do heads and cam but after research and convincing by a friend I got a good deal on a P1 procharger got it install with the support of a boost a pump thinking this will be a good setup to get me in the 11s and I am done no need to spend any more money on this car. well I got it tuned my Brent it made a good 505WHP which was pretty good IMO a few days after I got it tuned I was getting in to and at WOT the car just cut off my first thought was OH SH** I messed something up a few hours of looking the car over and calling people (it was a sunday so shops and people that put the car together were unavailable) I found out it was the fuse to the fuel pump after atleast 20 incidents of my fuel pump fuse going out I decided to buy a API intank pump once that was done I got thinks figured out and was enjoying my car again it ran like a dream and run a best of 11.3 I wanted to push the car further so I bought 80lb. injectors and a 3.2 inch pulley but before I could get it put on in spring 2015 a freak change reaction happened while on a bumpy road the starter gear broke which broke my flex plate which put a hole in my transmission and cut my trans fluid lines which hit the exhaust and caught fire. luckily after only a few seconds and the car being on fire someone driving stopped and actually had a fire extinguisher and helped me put out the fire. now was my chance to justify putting a built trans in the car well unfortunately my ife had a stroke the next week which put all my plans on hold (she recovered fine) now I needed to get my car together on a very small budget but with the help of friends I got the job done it was so bad I dont even have the current wiring harness on my car but we got it back up and running I did a little racing but the best the car ran was 11.60 and it was an 11.50 car all day long but figured it had something to do with the wiring but didn't worry I knew I would get the correct harness over the winter. november 2015 I am excited and finally ready to run the MSHS at Acto again (hadn't been since like 2011) well when I was prepping the car for atco I changed the oil and there were pieces of metal on my magnetic drain plug so while in denial I didn't go to Acto but decided to run at the local track ran a 11.60 and then said o myself I need to tear this motor down and find out whats wrong. took the front end apart and started taking the motor out when I ran across a classified ad about someone wanted to trade there F1R for a P1 I figured since my car is apart and I am probably going to forge i might as well throw more boost at it so I made the trade not thinking of everything I would need to get the most out of it and this is where I am at now. I am about to order my motor I have decided to go with just a forged 5.7 I searched for 8 rib pulley setup and have been unable to find it but have been advised that I should be able to make about 16PSI on the stock 6 rib before bad belt slip issues which I am told would make about 650~700WHP on my motor setup which is actually good cause it goes right to the limits of the fuel pump I have without going over which is a plus and I think I would be happy with that much power (but for how long). I will update this thread with my build and the results I plan to do all the installation myself with the help of friends in my garage so once it warns up this should be fun.
here are some pics of the destruction and progress so far:
