Because of the weight of the car (3800 lbs curb weight!) and the somewhat restrictive torque (420 foot pounds sounds high, but in reality... It isn't enough to move this whale off the line), I've decided to boar the engine from a 370 to a 426, port and polished heads, new aggressive cams, ProCharger supercharger with 8-11 lbs of boost, nos cooled intercooler, NOS 100 shot, computer tune, new throttle body, and a few other gadgets.

The car runs a 13.2 quarter mile @105 MP/h stock, my goal is to get it down to a 10 second car.

I've seen a few twin turbo setups on Challengers, and they absolutely fly after the 300' mark, but they're still sluggish off the line. A friend of mine down in the states is running twin superchargers on his 440 Stroker and he's pulling mid 9's.
