LUXO-BARGE
W
ARREN Borg’s Chrysler 300
has been a flagship for the
Mopar fraternity for some time
now, with a gutsy blown Hemi
under the hood. The 5.7-litre utilises a Manley
rotating assembly with 9.8:1 forged pistons
and customised factory heads with bigger
valves. Factory headers have been ditched for
a set of ceramic-coated TTI units from Modern
Muscle, and the combination is swinging an
F1A ProCharger with an eight-rib drive belt
system.
Warren has the blower cranked right up and
is jamming 18psi of boost through the small-
block, and on methanol the motor is pumping
out over 800hp.
Fuel supply is via a Fore fuel hat, with three
in-tank Walbro pumps feeding eight 1500ccinjectors. The motor is tuned from the USA
using DiabloSport software, and the gearbox
is a beefed-up Southern Hotrod Viking unit
with a TranZformer controller and custom TCM
converter, with AMG paddle shifters. This
thing really has all the gear!
A Driveshaft Shop shaft passes the mumbo
through a Modern Muscle Getrag differential
with 3.73 gears, and a set of monster Brembos
all ’round.
In the quest to get the motor cranking
well over 1000hp, the latest addition has
been a Nitrous Outlet kit, mounted on an XV
Motorsports four-barrel inlet manifold. The
combination will be changed over to E85, and
the three 255 in-tank pumps will be upgraded
to Walbro 460s.
A ton of work has gone into making a new
bonnet for the car with a steel cowl hood to
clear the new nitrous set-up. Other mods
include mini-tubs and a push-button removable
front bar for track days.
As Warren wasn’t happy with the standard
suspension, the car has been totally upgraded
to coil-overs. All the gear changes and launch
control can be pre-programmed so that you
hit the sweet spot every time.
As well as looking the goods, this Mopar
mauler really has the goods. As I write this,
the motor is being tuned up on the bottle.
Stay tuned for more on this one! Stayy tuned for more on this one! ssb
