James' Challenger T/A
Moderator: Moderators
I wont ask for a translation Dave! It is a tough one as the 4.10s fitted are on a sure grip set up, where as the spare set are open 3.23s.
Currently 4000RPM is, according to Pete, 70mph (speedo wavering around 80-90 though) and is running on 295 50 15s. I am thinking of putting 255 60 15s on.
Must admit it surprised me how happy it felt with these gears in.
Are you sure 6,500 is safe? This is one motor I dont want to blow up!

6500 is way safe for that motor I take mine there faily often and its the stock bottom end Instead of 255/60r15 try 275/60r15 I use them with no clearance problems at all also if you do change the rear gears and dont want to go fully gay try using 3.73-1 gears best of both worlds I will be changing to these when the new motor goes in eventually sometime in the future
Fantastic car by way glad it stayed in the uk

"and dont want to go fully gay" Sometimes I just have to larf out loud at some of these camments, thanks for cheering me up!
That motor will be safe as houses at those rpm's, all balanced and ARP stuff in there, the 4.10's are prefect for where you live as well, cruising on the motorway at 70 ain't bad and it's legal
Leave well alone! now go slap that shifter

Thats a really nice car you have there now James. The Charger was a beauty, but that one is a beauty and its special.
Sort of fancied that and made a light enquiry on price some time ago. Trouble is, I couldnt quite stretch to the price as I wanted to keep and restore my RT too and didnt want to hamper that. Wish I had now cos I probably wont get the chance to have either a T/A or an AAR now. Not exactly sitting on every car lot.
Look after her mate and dont go too crazy behind the wheel.

Did I make a mistake and put the wrong aspect ratios in? Let me check.
I can't remember if the car is auto or manual. These are the numbers for auto trans. Knock a few revs off for manual.
295/50/15 @ 70mph = 3915rpm
275/60/15 @ 70mph = 3722rpm
255/60/15 @ 70mph = 3852rpm.
So the 275s would be the best tyre. You would need a 38 tooth speedo pinion to go with that.
Sorry for the confusion.
