The porting and polishing, phantom grip, and exhaust That I have done has netted 322 hp before the h/e and 181 pulley install with 1.90 60' on street tires, doing 8.15 shown on my gallery.
It is a car and if it needs to be upgraded to do better, like cutting the eibach springs until they sit correctly, then they get cut twice like Brian Brave sugggested, until the suspension sits right and level.
Its a car and I really enjoy it, sort of like the paint of the CAI to allow it to have a better look. When I finish doing the dress up to replace the air boxes so that the engine cover is restored to factory like appearance, then that will also be complete.
Part of enjoying a car is to have it your way, like Burger King says. I have only begun to do some mods that I will not be able to discuss.
If you don't like my changes, don't do them. The forum is for us to share our approach with others. My current redesign of the thermostat to allow a simple $10 part replacement so that you can change the operating temperature to anything that you like 160 - 174 - 180 will quite possibly wig you out. Stay tuned there are many changes coming.
My 440 six pack just got dynoed at 475 #ft of torque and yes I ported my brand new elderbrock heads before they were even installed to my ported factory cast iron headers. I do not have many tools besides a TIG and power drill, so I have to be innovative at times. That Challenger and the Crossfire or my Daytone have many innovative changes.......HOWEVER I DONT US DUCT TAPE, THANK YOU.
OBTW If you ever stood on diamond plate you would realize that it is not ideal for traction, sort of slippery. Also I lose the understanding and importance of $350 lighted door sill plates and shiny add ons that others like, as they add glare and cost without function. Different strokes for different folks.
Iam not getting prickley but if you were to even try the pad concept outfitted in your style, it is highly likely that you would also appreciate the benefits, like I stated in the beginning.
Ive been to the other side, and I am ready to go back, Enjoy yurself, life is shorter than you can guess. Woody
Lol, well, that was quite a come back!
Never said anything about the technical mods. I was commenting on the 2 x 4 and mouse pad. I'm sure it's comfy and all, but I'd rather wear an elbow pad than stick a hacked up mouse pad on my door, especially with RTV! As for diamond plate, yes I know all about diamond plate. I was a metal fabricator/welder for 10 years. They do make different grades of diamond plate including etched diamond plate for marine applications that provides a very grippy surface, but still maintains the look of diamond plate.
As I said before, I'm not bashing you, you have good intentions. I was just making a light hearted statement about those chosen "mods." Like Tom said, to each their own I suppose.
