    /6 Challenger, Version 2.0

    so if its more about being able to enjoy enjoy the thing more often, why not sell the 440 and use that to buy a built smallblock, 340 would be sweet. why go back to 6? if you were looking to selling it, unless a collectors finding it(even then it wouldnt be numbers matching) some one wont turn...

    ok so i now have 2 cams to choose from for my barracuda. One from the engine it had and one from the engine i just bought. they are for a 318 mild built with forged pistons. compression was 9.5:1 for the pistons i think but now it has 340 heads on the 318 so idk what that'll change, make it...

    gearing vs mpg

    so this summer im kicking around the idea of a cross country roadtrip to go see some family. Either need to fly or drive but i'd rather drive my barracuda.

    Compression vs boost question

    ok im building a 360 right now and while im choosing the internals im taking into account the idea of twin turbocharging it in the near future. Ive been told to go with low compression pistons (8:1) if i want to go higher boost 8-12+ psi. So im wondering if im getting higher compression pistons...
