Pedders TrackII install on new Challenger Aug 7-8 in L.A.

[DMS]

For all you Challenger guys, I will be at Haddad Motorsports doing the first complete TrackII install on a new Challenger on Aug 7-8. I will be there 2 days prior getting a new Pontiac G8 ready for testing by Motor Trend next month.

If any of you are interested in seeing the vehicle and install, swing on by. Here is the address:
Haddad MotorSports
423 E. Florence #14
Inglewood Ca 90301

310) 412-8032

This Challenger will be featured at Sema this year. So it will definately be a cool ride to look at, and drive.

See you all there.

thanks

We have the challenger in the air and will be starting Tomorrow. There are 2 enhancemements over a SRT8 that I can see so far. you will have to come tomorrow night to see the differences.

We will have a get together ThursdaY, TOMORROW, so all can see it.

We will have some pizza for all. Some come on down.

We have also started on a new Dodge Challenger SRT8. Pretty cool ride. We will be replacing 42 bushings, shocks, springs, struts, and custom sway bars. Come on down and see what the other side looks like. this Challenger dynoed at 385 HP/torq.

See you all tomorrow night

We have just completed the first test fit on the new Challenger SRT8. Attached are 2 files. The first file is a setup for the true drag racer who needs some height in the back end for the big meats. It will lift the back en 30mm over the stock SRT8 height. The second photo link is an entire doumentation with desctiptions of the Challenger SRT8 complete TrackII system. Not all pictures are in yet but there are about 140 pictures that not only document the suspension, but also documents the Pedders TrackII instal procedures.

I do not know if the changes to this suspension are Challenger only of the new 2008 stuff. But here are some changes that I have found:
1. Rear trailing arms are no longer the crummy aluminum or pot metal style. They are now steel tubular. But the the soft, non compliant bushing is the same
2. The rear shocks are Bilsteins and not Nivomats
3. They doubled to trippled the dura of the front upper control arm bushings. even with this, they still are not as strong as the Pedders units, plus our Pedders unit will make the front end totally alignment adjustable
4. There are a hole lot of bolts that they seriously increased the torq on. I do not know if this was due to being a first run car or not. But just an observation.

Here are the photo links:

The final pictures will be loaded as soon as webshots does a fix. Not all the photos will display.

If you have any questions, please ask
