Well SEMA 2009 is over, and it was a great show for SpeedFactory. We appreciate all of the support we received from our partners and friends. You can’t go it alone in the automotive industry and SEMA is a great opportunity to seek out new partners, meet friends and discover new opportunities. We also did some indoor kart racing at Pole Position.

Our aluminum block, supercharged 440 SpeedFactory Challenger was a hit in MOPAR alley with lots of spectators snapping photos. Automotive magazine 0-60 even badged it a “SEMA Supercar”.

Motortrend Senior Editor Edward Loh, who orchestrated the cover story in this month’s issue that included the Challenger met up with the team and later blogged about it on Motortrend.com. If you’d like to see Motortrend test a SpeedFactory 440 Challenger at it’s full potential – be sure to let them know!

It was nice to see the Motortrend cover all over SEMA!

Thanks to PowerTV/Street Legal TV for covering the Speedfactory Challenger at SEMA 2008 in the Vortech booth. This 2008 SRT8 Challenger features a Stage 1 Supercharge package with a Vortech V3 Supercharger, JBA catback exhaust and Speedfactory tuning.

Options on this car include the Boze forged wheels, Richmond 3.55 gears, KW suspension, Nitto tires and Speedfactory interior appointments. This car generates 560 HP! Speedfactory is offering these cars through select Dodge dealers, contact us for more information.

A few weeks back, Mike and Eddie attended the Chip Foose/Year One Braselton Bash. Check out this guitar (auctioned to benefit charity), autographed by Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Chip Foose who sketched some really cool Mopars on the back!

Chip Foose shows off his handiwork; Kenny Wayne Shepherd also autographed it.

Nothing is better than American-made muscle. Speedfactory is proud to use American-made products and partner with US-based companies, not only because it’s good for business, but because these products and companies are some of the best in the world.

And while you chew on that, you might enjoy looking at the Speedfactory Stage III 426 Hemi Stroker package with classic Hemi style valve covers and relocated factory ignition coils. It also has a Speedfactory cold air intake, American Racing headers and Magnaflow exhaust. Engine is rated at 587 HP / 560 ft. lbs of torque. Can you say fun?

During June’s Dukesfest, John Schneider stopped in to Landmark Dodge to buy his 2008 Dodge Challenger SRT8. He chose Landmark not only for the great deal (over $10,000 less than other local dealers) but because he wants Speedfactory to supercharge his Challenger.
