Is this a customer's car or a "showcase" kind of car to show what you guys can do?

or both?

either way it's an awesome car...
70 Cuda, 7.0L Gen-III Hemi, Viper T56 w/9310 gearset, 3.91's, Megasquirt MS3x v3.57, Innovate wideband, Firm Feel upper arms, torsion bars, springs and strut rods, QA1 DA shocks. I did everything on this car except the fancy paint stuff and I drive it...and I can't seem to stop messing with it....

That's going to be such an animal when it's finished!!!  The TT's on my V-6 get it moving quickly and there probably 1/3 the size, if not smaller.

What is the PSI rating of that KRC pump?

This post never ceases to amaze me!

What is the PSI rating of that KRC pump?



It is a 7.2cc pump that uses -6 changeable control valves (9 optional sizes) with a max speed of 9,000 RPM.  The pump also comes with the standard 1080 psi relieve spool, which should work well with the 2.62 pinion ratio and medium valved servo on the Woodward rack.  A 1450 psi relief is also available, but not necessary since the steering arms on the C5 spindles are a decent length.  Also, the current valve flows 2.11 GPM.  We can switch to a different size to reduce assist, increase feel, etc. 

Long story short, the KRC pump can be fine tuned for our application.  The pulley can be easily removed as well, since it uses a 17 spline hub instead of the standard pressed-on style pulley.

Got back late last night from the Columbus Goodguys show - what a great time.  One of my favorites is a twin-procharged 6.1 HEMI Cuda.  I think it should have made the top five for street machine of the year, but what do I know....  :) 

Congrats to Mike & Jim Ring for another job well done!  They definitely outdid themselves with another beautiful build.

Thanks to Liz & the crew at Popular Hot Rodding for including the Challenger in September's "under construction" section.



No Tim Haden's here, but the pictures, Jason's rendering, text, etc. look great.

The car looks good. There are many things that make the car very nice but,..... the smooth tail panel? 
Very nice car indeed though.
I love the smooth glass look!
