Anyone heard of this? Arringtone Engines $21K for 585HP

[HEMI4ME?]

I was talking to the owner of a shop the other day in Scottsdale, Verdone. He is a cool guy and knows about Vettes mostly, but has a Maggy SRT8 in the showroom he does not drive. He was telling me about this company, and in short from what I understand they are the company used to build the Mopar Cascar motors... This one says 585HP for $21 plus thousand...



Look sick there is a video as well...



Sorry if this is a repost.

I'm no expert, but that sounds like a lot of $$$ for less than 600 hp. A crate Hemi is only about $12,000. I'm sure you could get 600 hp out of that for about $15,000 total.

Looks very nice, but it appears to me that their drag videos were purposefully not showing their times.

The price is retarded, look at the Kooks. LOL they are high

thats the ridiculous thing about these hemis. you can do a head and cam package on your SRT. and get the same times in the 1/4 as spending 20g on that 426 from HHP. doesnt really seem worth the money to replace the engines in this car.

Yah I cant wait to do heads and cam... Some time.

Saw the post and had to add my imput. Chrysler Mopar Performance in the catalog the ONLY 426 HEMI they make has 465 HP and 486 Torque and the crate price is $15299.00

this is exactly what i was refering too. a cam and heads on the 6.1 will net you over 500hp, or there abouts. which would cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of 2-3g.

seems like the only purpose to spending all that money on the 426 (or any aftermarket engine for that matter) would be for bragging rights. especially once a viable forced induction system comes out. for 8,000$ you will be able to get a blower, heads, cam for your 6.1. and be running somewhere around 600hp. thats still half the price of the 426.
