1. next will be 2.5 down pipes from engine, no cats to 3" exhaust will have a 3" flow through thrush muffler in the middle( to reduce the noise),, to my SRT 6 muffler.
2. and maybe Needswings super-cooler before next run.

 

Looking forward to results and updates.

rims will be replaced with black 17's or srt6 18 & 19"s

Looking good

 

cut!!!! removed the upper radiator support,,, lowered and moved forward the lower radiator support

 

in the last few days we dropped the engine in 4 times did some modifying to lower the engine and tie it down,. the front is almost ready to install




wow side ways hood mount!!! LOL

 

Jim .... what are you doing? Are you not a 1/4 miler? But dang it man, I approve!

Hay Les, just fixing the car ,,lowering and moving forward the lower radiator support, for extra cooling ,,,and making the upper support ,,so i can change pulleys and radiator faster , you know with the v8 the engine is more forward so need to fix that, re balance the car, add brakes ect.. when i get through the car will be a 10 second daily driver LOL How is your car doing,,, i know you had it rough after the storm. lets go to the track!!! jim

 

Engine back in,,, front end done,, see the fuel regulator

two 2.5 into 3" muffler

3" into srt 6 muffler

what about the water tank?

 

Is that a washer and dryer you have attached to the muffler? Just saying.
Thanks, Ken

 

Yes it is, this way i never have to wash the car,, when i turn the key off the washer starts,,

 

water tank for use with supercooler, and need more fuel you need a regulator .

 

Can you tell me how you have got your electric fans wired in?

 

I have a fan from a C something i think it was a 300 and trimmed down to make it fit and hooked up- stock so far it has not run full blast and it was 89 yesterday, 1 needle width past 1/2 way is as high as it goes, stock thermostat.

.

 

Finally, somebody with some sense. I have been saying the only way to a proper exhaust is delete back cats then into y to 3 in pipe straight into stock muffler. phenomenal sound and slight power increase.. i'll post pics of my exhaust , if I can find them. I used a 12 I long resonator inline.

 

One other mod I've done is to use a eurocharged HE, which is much wider, then opened up the lower grills by drilling and grinding out a couple more squares on each side, which lowered my temps a few degrees, definitely worth the work.

 

my exhaust is 2.5 off engine to the Y then 3" to a 3"resonator/open muffler inline then 3" into the srt6 muffler (((opened the muffler to 3" inlet and two 2- 2 1/2 outlets))
lowered the radiator support 3" and moved froward 3" modded fan from a mercedes car, set up on stock temp setings, the fan has never gone full speed, we did cut down the fan to fit into the crossfire. Needswings supercooler and small water tank in place of air pump, located high as the engine, fuel pump from mercedes with a adjustable regulator set at 65 psi,with vac hose to maintain 65 psi through out boost range.
I have a sound bite of the exhaust as soon as i can get it to post, tried earlier with no luck.

 

Thanks for the info on your fan, but I actually meant the 2 electric fans you have in front of your rad.

 

that ks what i was telling you about i just forgot to say that the two fans were removed and i replaced them with one big with more cfm ,,from the mercedes C class and had to mod it so it would fit.

Went to Orlando speedway last night could not get traction. best run was
12.00 @ 115 and 12.20 @ 117 lots of spinning 13.2 @ 115 the exhaust increase the low end torque so the car is faster but need radials,
