Here's a photo of another of my dream cars - a 1970 Hemi Barracuda. These cars (and its Dodge cousin - the Challenger) were produced to satisfy the public's thirst for speed. They chase all competitors in their class. The photo is of Don Little, from the cover of National Dragster (Feb 25,2000). Don is the 1999 champion in NHRA Stock Eliminator and runs the ¼ mile in a little over 10¼ seconds & over 127MPH!
Whereas the Drag Race Hemi used 12.5:1 pistons, the Street version used more tame 10.25:1 pistons. The Drag Race Hemi used a cross-ram intake manifold (a decidedly high-RPM piece), while the Street Hemi used an inline (dual quad) intake manifold. The camshaft profile used in the Super Stock versions was not limited; NHRA requires Stock versions to use a camshaft that has no more lift (and duration) than the factory used. The Stock Eliminator racer will use a "cheater" chamshaft profile that adheres to that rule but has a considerably more aggressive ramp speed. This makes the engine breathe much better than it already does!
