They all take pride into what they do for me and its great. I am very hard to work with sometimes but they understand why....its got to be my way LOL. They add there touches to it and it amazes me what we ALL can do here at DCR working together. There is no I in team and every one plays an important role to completion in every build we do. Kevin is going to have the fun job in driving this beast. Many trick components here that are one of a kind.

Yea its true, when everyone is on the same page. Impossible tasks become possible. All the hard work Darrell you & your men put into DCR. Gives us in the SRT4 community some fantastic products along with a great street car. From Minnesota many thanks to all @ DCR. Your efforts are greatly appreciated.

Yup thats yours in the back ground and James has been busting his but getting you ready as well. He must have put in 80hrs this week alone between your car and the Red Sled. All of us have the itch for racing now.

I had Crane build some custom grinds for our new setup with special lift and duration. I actually did developmental work for all of the existing grinds for Crane for the 2.0 and 2.4 over the past 8 years of R&D and motor sports contract we have maintained. Its nice that they are willing to do whatever we need at any time. The grind has to be for the Avenger head so the opening and closing rates match for the cam opposite location. Modified cams to accommodate the head swap really do not work properly since the opening and closing rate of the lobes vary from intake to exhaust.

Not at all with the custom Wilwood brakes with light weight Strange rotors we did. 13s fit and clear fine with no problems. I think it was 5.5 backspace on yhose wheels. We tucked the struts in top and bottom with our moly lower control A-arms. We then shortened the axles up 1 inch on each side to "narrow" the front end for aerodynamics and big speed. This setup works! We will be offering our A-arms arms very soon.

What a work of art! Probably moves along pretty well, too. Can't wait to see your track results. Good luck!

This is a great display of fabrication. Top notch work found all around this car.

**NoisufnoC** · 03-31-2008, 10:07 AM

How much work is involved in making the avenger head work with our block? It can't be a direct bolt in...or can it?

i love the fact that the appearance hasnt changed much since last season. beats the honda and chevy guys just hacking the front end up and sticking a turbo there.

craftsmanship and ingenuity FTW!
