The Purple Haze Challenger SF600R is done, the customer is scheduled to pick it up ASAP.  This was the first convertible (conversion) that we have worked on yet. We can’t wait for Dodge to start making the convertible option available from the factory. Until then, checkout the night and day difference between the stock SRT8 Challenger and the Purple Monster SF600R Challenger! The Package is pretty intense- see for yourself!

SPEEDFACTORY SF 600R Challenger Package

600 screaming horses delivered rough and ready with the 426 Gen III HEMI. The ‘R’ designation in the SF600R Challenger denotes a SpeedFactory hi-performance, normally-aspirated, bored, stroked and balanced 6.1L HEMI block, increasing the displacement to 426 cu. in. (7.0 liter HEMI).

First off I would like to thank everyone that had any part in making the LX and Beyond Nationals happen, especially Anthony Carter. SpeedFactory had a great time at the Nats, accompanied by great car show and racers alike. The weekend was sunshine and mid-80 degree temps each day. There was a great spectator turnout all weekend, and a lot of great looking and fast LX cars.

As for our racing efforts this past weekend, the first of the test and tune passes were held on Saturday morning. The track wasn’t in the best of shape but we were looking to let her have it anyway. Leaving off of idle in second gear would net us no traction the entire pass and just a 11.903 second pass at 128.95 mph.

Knowing that we couldn’t be as aggressive as we thought we went back to the line and this time netted an 11.055 at 129 mph. We knew we were way off pace. Several hours would pass for hour third pass of the day, we decided to pull some timing to help with the traction issues. This pass was a 10.533 at 130.82 mph, now we were moving in the right direction. At this time the track had gotten pretty hot and we couldn’t hook up, so we packed it in for the night.

Sunday would bring an hour of test and tune and some better track prep. By this time we have pulled almost 12 degrees of timing just to get back in the 10′s, so we knew power isn’t the issue.

The first pass of test and tune would be a 10.798 at 131.97 mph. We are really close to the number with this setup, especially for a hot day. First round of eliminations had us bracketed with an 11 sec Chrysler 300. It was really anyone’s race, since traction had been plaguing us all weekend. Luckily we got through the first round with a 10.581 at 134.74 mph, the car was finally settling in.

The second round of elmins would bracket us with Rick Ellison’s super quick ProCharged Chally. We knew this was going to be a race, he was running 10.4XX all weekend long. I fell victim to traction yet again with Rick getting the hole shot and the victory at the end of the track. We did beat him in ET, our 10.461 at 138.47 to Rick’s 10.497 at 127.49 mph. Dan Vanhorn would go on to win the event with his 426 nitrous setup in his SRT8 Charger being very consistent.

Great event and lots of fast MOPAR’s!

Saturday [...]]]> Friday afternoon was the first of the test and tune sessions. We were caught in the dilemma of a fresh, untamed engine in the car and a track that couldn’t hold what it had to offer. The Charger laid down several 10.30 passes and a 11.20 after spinning through half of the gears.

Saturday morning would see one more test and tune session, with our best pass standing at 10.35. The qualifying pass for Sunday eliminations went down Saturday afternoon at 10.38. This wouldn’t be the best pass of the weekend, but would net us the Worlds Fastest Charger award.

Sunday morning was the first elimination pass. During that pass we lost to ATI’s drag pak Challenger. But there was more to come! Having earned the “Worlds Fastest Charger” award, we went up against Doug Duell’s “Worlds Fastest Challenger”. This was for all the cards – to see who had the fastest Hemi on the property.

Unfortunately, Doug beat us off of the tree with a holeshot. At the end of the run Doug’s Challenger beat us to the line with a 10.02 ET to our 9.97 ET.

The racing season is just getting started!
