Angry Elephant: Dyno Video of Lee Sicilio’s Hemi Daytona LSR Car
By Brian Lohnes
BangShift.com
Our buddy Scott Clark, known as DieselGeek on the BangShift.com forums spends some of his free time tuning fuel injection setups on all different kinds of machinery. He’s messed around with everything from road race Porsches to the infamous “Turd” Fairmont that was equipped with a turbo LS Chevy engine. He recently posted some video of a hella bad ass LSR machine on the rollers during a tuning session. It’s must see gearhead TV.
The car sports a 930hp Ray Barton built, 498ci Hemi that’s topped with two throttle bodies that could swallow toddlers whole. The guys are getting their tuneup in order for Bonneville action this year and the 230mph range is where the car will hopefully end up.

The Hot Rod Power Tour 2010 is Less Than a Week Away
By Ryan Brutt

Well there is less than one week until Power Tour 2010. I spent today cleaning up the interior of the Challenger, conditioning the leather, vacuuming the carpets, etc. I also added the hood stripe and the extension side stripes on the Challenger. That should make it a little different then the other 99% of Challengers on the Tour. I also picked up a new Atlas as my last one got ruined. I hate GPS. Check out the Hot Rod Power Tour directions.
Also to get the most up to date information on the Tour, please follow them on their twitter site. And Chip Foose will be at the first stop in Newton, IA. I’m a big personal fan and can not wait to see him in person, even if I do just get his autograph.
I came up with a little idea, I’m going to have a balloon attached to my car. Something easy to see and noticeable. I don’t know what it will be, but when I find it I will post it up here and let you know.

Muscle in Melbourne
Tcassa
Hundreds of American muscle cars were on display in the heart of Melbourne, Australia this past Sunday. The day long event, appropriately titled the American Motoring Show, included some of the finest iron this side of the Pacific. Rods, replica Cobras, Studebakers, and countless Pony cars to name a few were all fighting for the passing attention, with my favorite being a beautiful 1934 California Kid tribute. With a relaxed atmosphere, this turned out to be one great show! Loads of pics after the jump!

Jeff has done an amazing job with his Mopar, which he claims to be first twin-turbo 5.7 VCT Hemi. More pics on his 2009 Dodge Challenger R/T ride page!

Where are all the Mopars?
By Ron Honig
WaytooFurious
I really enjoyed myself at the Victorian Hot Rod Show on Sunday. There were a lot of cool cars to look as well as some great products on display with various vendors. However the one thing that really annoyed me about the day was the lack of Mopars on display. I realize that the organisers were pushing the Holden VS Ford theme this year and that traditionally, at least in my eyes, hot rodding has always been dominated by Ford and GM. I just think it would have been nice to have more representation from the Mopar side. That’s why I was particularly please to see this ‘small’ blown Hemi dominating this ute. I mean really, if you are going to go all out you may as well chose a Hemi.

By Brian Lohnes
BangShift.com
BangShift member Stage1Scott tipped us to this amazing video of a Super Stock Hemi Dart running an 8.29, 160 mph record setting pass. The SS/AH cars are the most amazing Super Stocks, and this one is driven by Jim Daniels, a many time record setter and winner of the Hemi Classic events with hia Ray Barton 438ci SS motor. He’s a dentist!
Check this out, and watch the fiberglass hood scoop get bent out of shape at 160!

Daytona in the Barn, and Two Hemi Chargers, and One V Code 70 Charger: Barn One
By Ryan Brutt

What started out as a terrible weekend, ended up as a not so terrible weekend. A friend of mine’s uncle had passed away and I had known him for many years. So I would be attending his funeral on Sunday, November 9th. I planned on spending the weekend out there, so I knew I couldn’t help the family in Saturday, why not go out and hunt for cars… Oh boy did that thought snowball.
I made a post about me heading to Bloomington, IL on www.moparts.com forums. Two members from down there, Shad and Scott both told me that they would like to meet up and show me some of the stuff they knew about lying around. They didn’t get into specifics, though.
I drove down Friday night, so I could meet up with the guys on Saturday. That was a long drive at night. The Challenger did fine, and I got on the girl a bit. But still I was glad to plunker down in my hotel room for the night.

Buying a New Car: The Purchase, The Review, The End
By Mike Musto
RideLust.com
Well the journey is finally over, it’s been over one month since I started my hunt for a new car and it finally came to an end this weekend. It’s been a long harsh road filled with a host of automotive ups and downs. If you recall I started my search during the “Cash for Clunkers” program, but alas, it yielded nothing but annoying dealer confrontations. Then I tried the “certified used” route but this too was met with more aggravation due to inept dealers. I finally settled on a low mileage, privately owned vehicle that fit my needs and wants and honestly feel that it was the best way to go.
