Performance ModificationsWant to talk about performance modifications for your Dodge Challenger? This is the forum for that. Anything from exhaust systems to power adders and everything in between. (Dodge Challenger Performance Modifications)
The coating is called CT-22 by Calico. It is a thermal block ceramic coating to help prevent hot spots from forming in the cylinder heads which can lead to detonation.
Is that CT-22 something that is applied like any other powder coating, or it is something you can apply yourself? The only thing I would worry about is parts of it chipping off, and wedging chips down into the rings, and ring grooves.
Good show on the camera work, - refreshing to see people master this sort of stuff.
The video?, yeah, well, I have a whole collection of video's like that. Funny, I used to literally hate anything to do with the F1 engine mindsets, but of late, I find myself engulfed in hours of reading about the nuts and bolts of the engineering in these things. And I often wonder about the possibilities of seeing someone put an F1 engine, and a double-clutch tranny (another engineering marvel) in a passenger car like the Challenger. But I digress.
Keep your torque wrench calibration stickers current!

The Fiat CEO says that the Fiat double clutch transmissions are coming. Happy sounding pistons in V12's can't be far behind.

Calico's CT-2 ceramic thermal barrier and CT-5 oil shedding, corrosion resistant coatings are virtually permanent.
Calico's CT-1 and CT-3 dry film lubricants are "sacrificial" in nature and eventually wear out. But rather than wearing out the engine part, wearing the coating will save you time and money on expensive engine parts. It is also possible to re-coat and further extend the life of the coated parts at a fraction of the replacement cost (i.e. pistons, etc.
I almost forgot, the tuning of this will be done via Diablosport by none other than Johan himself. Once everything is installed, we will make a couple of dyno pulls on the car to make sure everything is operating, then we will be trailering it to Florida for Johan to work his magic.
Have you considered DCXDepot for your tuning? They have not one but TWO dynos so prepare for even HIGHER numbers.
Bearing break in after 7k miles:
Piston break-in after 7k miles:
You can even leave with an idle set somewhere around 1800 RPM and your coolant fans set to come on around 170 degrees F. They will always run for MAXIMUM cooling!!!
Oh, almost forgot...no need for knock sensors on a N/A motor. DCXDepot will HOOK YOU UP.

I just have to know... Why would two dynos make for better numbers?

That's some serious damage. I take it you're not too happy?
