SpeedFactory’s Insane SF600R Dodge Challenger

by Gordon McDonald on August 31, 2010

Photos: SpeedFactory Cars

If the current Dodge Challenger doesn’t quite ring true to your 70s-era muscle car memories, SpeedFactory Cars has taken a big step to cure your muscle car blues. Do you think that 427 cubes and 600 charging ponies will do the trick? I thought so.

That kind of big power has a special story, because this Mopar specialist has a history of shredding the envelope of conventional thinking. Last year, they built the first supercharged all-aluminum 440 HEMI Challenger which debuted at Mopar Alley at the 2009 SEMA show. Before that, the group’s R&D Charger set a world record for the fastest 1/4 mile time for an LX platform car.

So, when it comes to amping up a Challenger, their compass surely points in the right direction. Starting from a 6.1-liter HEMI engine block, displacement is increased to 7.0-liters (426ci) by boring out the cylinders and adding a forged stroker crankshaft. Coupled with ported heads and intake manifold, a revised cam and Predator tuning, the end result is certain to bring back cherished memories from the 70s. The 10.5:1 compression ratio will demand high octane gas for best performance, but coupled with the 85mm throttle body, Mopar cold air intake and low restriction Borla exhaust, this mill will reward every tap of your right foot.

Keeping it all between the ditches is another challenge, that SpeedFactory addresses with suspension revisions and meaty tires that run on 20″ x 9″ BBS Flow-Formed CHR wheels. A staggered fitment is optional, providing 10.5-inch wide rear wheels.

When your DNA finds the roar of an all-motor powerhouse superior to the whine of a supercharger, these speed freaks have a solution for you.

Eddie’s LX & Beyond Nationals Event Diary

by Eddie Rosa, SpeedFactory General Manager

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!
