Demon 340

my demon gets to 115 or so in third gear with quite a bit of rpms left, but im only running a 3.23 gear...most people have bigger gears than do i.

here it is...my shift light came on RIGHT as i took this picture, and at the time it was set to 4000...the cam is rated "peak" up to 6500, i believe, so i had room to go. its not a smooth ride at 120, even with some aftermarket suspension stuff.


i really dont think that you have anything to worry about unless you suck at driving...

I just asked my friend with the '74 who ran at bandimere last year. May 21, 2008.

15.0@92.6mph
13.296 @ 103.866mph corrected (DA)
'60 was 2.27.

He has a 3spd auto. 3.91 gears. Headers, 4bbl, and cam. Had on 195/75/R14 street tires.

This isn't from bandimere but it is a vid of him up against one of the newer challengers.

thats pretty solid...i have to say that as someone who has ALWAYS run right around 1300-1500 feet, ive not felt the effects of elevation like that, so i dont put a word of faith into conversions...but if he could get a 13.2 out of a 318 dart, id be impressed...only because ive seen a great many 318 cars run, and that would be pretty quick for just headers, intake/carb, and a cam...and 3.91s.

but, if that was an srt8 auto, him nipping it at the end would make sense, as ive seen them 13.4s...

Well he's not racing against my friend. So he's got that going for him. lol
