Bonneville Landspeed Racing - Let's Try a Thing.

Boost and Q16 would definitely help make up for the displacement loss, especially with a good intercooler setup. That 30mph gap in the record is huge, but if your setup is dialed, it’s not impossible. What’s your plan for aero and gearing?
I have changed the car to a Charger 500 flush rear window, removed mirrors and door handles. Car is significantly lower as well. Also, to stop the encouragement of air to go under the car and to not have a massive front spoiler, I used a rear bumper off a 70 RR on the front. The frame/floor is set up to put a flat step pan under it or later a full belly pan. For gearing, I currently have 2.94 but may switch to 2.76. I am considering a nose change to bring more aero into the plan. The engineering documents from 1969 NASCAR race prep showed that blocking the grill off was a 14% reduction in drag or 77hp. That's huge.
