My first stop with the car will be EVOMS, where I've already scheduled to have all of the GT700 goodies transplanted from my turbo. I'll be selling my turbo after the transplant. I can't wait to take the GT to the track. I'm also having EVOMS install their strengthened axles. From what I've been told, a GT700/GT2 is pretty much the ultimate performance machine

The motor made 785hp (on a motor dyno)on a low RPM pull with 2 1/2 inch headers it's got 3 1/2 inch headers now. It's got a nitrous cam which will multiply the nitrous HP shot by 150%. So when I spray the 200 shot it will make about 300 HP more. At the end of the day, the car will make over 1100hp on the spray. The car weighs in at about 3400lbs. We predict that the car will run low high 8's to low 9's and trap in the low 150's.

Wholly crap ! That is a monster. I fell in love with Chargers as a little kid, my bro's first car when we came to the US was a emerald greem 68 Charger with a 383ci, he wishes he NEVER sold it as what they are getting for them now is just phenomenal. My cousin had a 69 1/2 Super Bee and his brother a Challenger with a 440-6pack. Them real muscle cars there. The Super Bee was a menacing looking car.
Post some pics of the charger when all is said and done.

If you are going to track the car a lot, add Motons and enjoy.

The cars are at their most valuable point now because during the making of the new Dukes of Hazzard movie they bought (and wrecked) every available '68 and '69 Charger to do the stunts for the movie

Congrats on your GT2! You will really enjoy the change from the TT.
I switched in 2004 from a 996 TT with Ruf mods. I have done GIAC, Europipe exhaust, Baily's DV's, Castoral SRF, swapped out the PCCB brakes for steel (went with Cup car calipers and rotors), GMG roll bar and harness. Love the car.
If I did it again I would go with Ruf mods as their power band was a bit more linear. I drove a GT2 with their 590 hp Nardo motor. That would be my perfect solution.
Enjoy your car in good health. Hope to make one of your events one day from S. Calif.

Sorry to hijack the thread, this could potentially answer questions for others also
