Alas, Z/28, we hardly knew ye

What you do is buy a crate engine 6.4 from Mopar performance and swap it in to your 5.7 R/T or 6.1 SRT! The 6 cylinder Challys will be alittle harder to do.

What kind of dope are you smoking and where can I get some! LMAO

Ahhh, I'm out right now,will let you know when more comes in ! I remember reading about a guy who attained 700 mpg,but that was for a "Ducted Prop drive" I am not an engineer or mechanic,but just think if this genius can do this why cannot it be 'tech-tweaked" for HEMI !?!? Here:The wing that he created for a top alcohol dragster allowed that vehicle to go from a regional contender to second place in the U.S. Nationals. He helped create weapon carriage methods and flight profiles that increased the range of the F-15E by over 40%. Rob designed a ducted prop drive for a competition car that achieved over 700 miles per gallon. While the leader of McDonnell Douglas' National AeroSpace Plane (NASP) vehicle performance team, he led analytic investigations in sonic boom noise abatement, chaired multi-disciplinary trouble-shooting teams, and directed the group that developed the unique configuration of that aircraft DARPA knows of this guy and so does NASA ;so perhaps Nardelli & Crew shall want to discuss things with him. I know I'm that I have not contacted him to "discuss" a Challenger that can/will attain even a smidgeon of that # ,say 426mpg :but I, Ragamuffin &: Trek_Aerospace_About_Rob

GM also doing another wave of layoffs........

[PPP-Tim]

This may suprise some of you, but we have many customers with PPP 426 strokers making around 500whp -(thats over 600BHP)and are getting 21/23 mpg on the highway.


On another note; It is sad to see GM laying off American workers. I wish it didnt have to happen that way.

Those are good numbers. I know with cam and head setup on my charger i was seeing 22.5mpg at 85mph

[Daddy Kool]

True, with PPP's heads and cam on my 5.7 300c my mileage is great when cruising at 75/80 mph on the autoroute. And that's with MDS gone.
