I've thought long and hard where to go from here. I absolutely do not have the money to build a new motor. There is a racing motor in the Hellcat but that motor is not being touched and I will take that car off a fucking cliff it has any more down time. I do not want to put another stock hellcat block in race car as the DragPak blower was no joke and a stock block just wont work again. It hits like a freight train. I have sold the blower for parts as it was completely trashed.Rotors had aluminum go through them and bricks didn't look to good.

I spoke with @Jon-MooredPerformanceLLC at length as well as Jim. S. on what I can do to salvage the season, March will be here soon enough. So here is the plan. I sold the bower and in return the purchaser offered to buy me a complete Tomahawk 2.0 package from Flying Ryan Performance... well what the hell am I going to do with a 6.4 cam???

Well it's going to go into a 1320 6.4 complete long block I got from Jim S. I am purchasing a Holley Hi-Ram for the 6.4 BGE, a Demon 170 TB with Hi-Ram adapter and the heads are being sent out to MMX for porting. I will sit my ass in the bracket and 10.5 index classes and just have fun learning the Holley system and going to events. I do have a busy travel schedule planned as I want to hit all MSHS events this year and just participate, that's what I miss the most just being with friends. This has been a decision I think that will be able to be maintained for a year with no issues, the 6.4 will barely be stressed out. The car will have a racing cam in it so it will be fun. The car is basically setup I just need to put a motor in it. Best part it's getting even lighter. The blower is off and the 8 gallon ice tank is out too. The blower weights about 100lbs and the 8 gallon tank including ice and water with hoses and the pump was about 100lbs. So the car will sit about 3600lbs.

I have also made the following decision:
The Next Race Car Will Not Be A Mopar.

I've discussed this at length and there are more parts available for Ford and Chevy at more affordable prices that go faster. Mopar parts have a Mopar price tax that I am no longer able to afford and it will also give me more opportunity to branch out to other Holley products as that's what I wish to tune. Mopar had a chance, it blew it.

I've been speaking with my fellow Holley tuners and they think a great place to start is to get a 96-98 Mustang GT with the 4.6, get a Holley Terminator and a plug and play harness kit and just go have fun. It will open a lot more doors for me. I'll keep you up to date, when the motor comes it, it is going to be all hands on deck to get it ready for March in Orlando... It's not like I have a dyno or something... ;)

Good to see you still pushing forward man, I think going n/a is the ticket for right now. You’ll still get to race and get the car figured out if you decide to change the power plant in it in the future, not to mention the holley

A guy local to me ended up going 4 states over before he found someone to get his mustang right on Holley. He went through 2 or 3 places a little more local. As far as Holley goes you prolly do have a bigger market with chevy and ford. Or at least you can learn all 3 since you already have a dodge.
