HDDP had the determination and the funding and got his project done and tracked the car for a few years, he was roughly 3x his intended budget and he had a pretty realistic number to start, so even with determination and knowledge, there are sometimes things involved with reengineering an over-engineered car that you simply can not do in your garage.
Get the V8/6 speed running, then we can talk FI all you want
True John, life is very unpredictable. The other thing about HDDP is the mods he made to the car, and the fact that he used an aftermarket ECU. It could have been done with a stock unit.
And on the last part, just wait! I feel it coming lol. We should have something to work with this weekend. It depends on a new order coming in. As far as FI... There is already a better starting point for it because it takes our key. If you use an SRT ECU then it's even one more step closer because it came in a crossfire (for module mating).
